Thought I would pass along my fever treatment knowledge ....
I allow a fever to burn itself out as there is a reason for the fever - to burn off an invading germ. The body is amazing and rarely goes "too high" (head trauma, drug use, etc). I focus on relieving discomfort and staying hydrated. Here is my list of herbal remedies ...
Teas to reduce discomfort (achiness, headaches, restlessness)
catnip, chamomile, lemon balm, kudzu-apple juice
Teas to reduce upset tummy (which accompanies many fevers)
anise seed or weak ginger
herbal baths to promote restfulness and relieve the above symptoms...
rosemary or lavender essential oil (5 drops) or infusions of lemon balm, chamomile, and lavender
antimicrobial herbs to fight the underlying germs the fever is trying to burn off....
echinacea root tincture; garlic; elder, chrysanthemum, and honeysuckle flower infusions (clear heat and reduce infections); Vitamin C
for reduction if it is necessary....
spearmint and elder blossom infusion (used together); catnip infusion; lemon balm infusion
for extreme fevers and dehydration (as well as stave off dehydration) if the child is willing .... catnip tea enema
I have never used boneset but I have heard of it

I have also never used the enema but I keep it in the back of my mind just in case it is needed.
