MANAGING FEVER

Belladonna – Natural Remedy for Fever

Fever is the body’s natural weapon for killing viruses, so it’s best to let it do its work. However, if a fever becomes too uncomfortable for you or if it is sudden, higher than is typical for you when you get sick or causes bright red cheeks, it may require treatment. Be sure to alert your physician to the fever, as an intense one may require suppression and even hospitalization. Dr. Starbuck says that she often prescribes just one dose of the homeopathic substance Belladonna typically two pellets of 30C strength which frequently takes care of a high fever. However, for fevers that are low grade, persistent and dragging you down, she may prescribe the homeopathic substance Gelsemium sempervirens, also 30C strength, two pellets at one time
