Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 FEVERS: Juices such as Cucumber, blackberry, watermelon CATNIP for fevers and chills FEVER-FLU: Red raspberry, elder flowers, garlic, rosehip, golden seal, yarrow, red clover, willow. Peppermint tea and powdered grapefruit peel at the onset of flu to halt. Bistort, [combine peppermint, yarrow, elder flowers] will sweat the flu out, ginger, mignonette. AND from Dr. Fever is not a disease but a condition in the body wherein the balance of circulation has become disturbed. This is nature's way of trying to burn out the toxic poisons. When the body becomes exposed to excessive chilling or dampness, the capillaries near the surface contract and the pores close by becoming obstructed with body waste matter. This results in a containment of body heat and a sudden rise of body temperature. In fever the natural body function is to increase the heat to a point wherein the thick glutinous and fibrinous matters loading and congesting the system are made liquid enough to pass through the fine and delicate excretory membranes and tubules. Herbal Aids General Instructions: If the fever is from cold or flu, eliminate the mucoid condition and eliminate the problem. Raspberry, and other sweetening herbs, are very beneficial. Raise the body heat with moisture, a stimulant and diaphoretic herbs so the restricted blood vessels relax, the obstructed pores open, and the morbid material washes out in the subsequent profuse perspiration. YARROW IS ANOTHER HERB.ALONG WITH GINGER TO SWEAT OUT THE FEVER. Echinacea: Fever, typhoid fever. Drink sufficient of the hot tea to induce diaphoresis, and administer hourly thereafter until the system is relieved of stagnated wastage. Camomile: Colds, bilious fever. Give a warm infusion with a little ginger added. When a Fever Just Gets Started: it can be cleared up very easily, if these following procedures are started early. One of the most simple remedies is to stop the use of all foods and beverages, take a high herbal enema (catnip is good) and drink only red raspberry tea. Between cups of this tea, distilled water may be used, and if desired, give some good organic (natural) Vitamin C. Drink several quarts of red raspberry tea during the day, but no solid foods. The running nose, fever, headache and weariness will soon leave and one will feel like a new person. Even after feeling greatly improved, continue on with the red raspberry leaf tea all that day and well into the next day. If an adult will stay on the tea for three days, it would do a wonderful cleansing job for the body. To make red raspberry leaf tea put one heaping teaspoonful of cut or granulated (powdered) raspberry leaves into a teacup. Fill the cup with boiling distilled water, cover and let stand in a warm place for five or ten minutes. Strain, and drink it while it is very warm (You may use an ounce of red raspberry leaves to a pint of distilled water, if desiring to make up more at a time). Elder Flowers and Peppermint: When taken alone, elder flowers are inclined to be an emetic, and somewhat nauseous to some people. The effect can be prevented by combining them with peppermint (Mentha piperita). Peppermint is a stimulant, nervine, calmative, and antiemetic, which offsets the undesirable effects of elder flowers. This combination is world famous as a great fever and cold remedy. Suzi What is a weed?
