How to Lower a Fever Naturally

A fever is uncomfortable, sometimes painful and often worse at night, which can inhibit your sleep, therefore depleting the immune system even further. There are numerous over the counter products to reduce a fever, but they are often slow to work, come with unwanted side effects and a hefty price tag. If you want to reduce a fever naturally and quickly, you probably already have everything you need right in your own home.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 4 eggs
• 1 small white onion
• 1 tbs. of apple cider vinegar
• 2 washcloths or handkerchiefs
• Socks

1. Separate the yokes from the egg whites carefully and discard the yoke.
2. Chop the white onion finely and mix the pieces into the egg whites.
3. Add 1 tbs. of apple cider vinegar and stir gently.
4. Soak the handkerchiefs or washcloths in the mixture. While a bit messy, you want the cloth to be dripping with the liquid allowing plenty of absorption into the skin. Be sure some of the onion pieces remain on one side of the washcloths or handkerchiefs.
5. Wrap the washcloths or handkerchiefs around your feet with the onion touching the skin and place socks over the cloths. This natural remedy will quickly pull the temperature down to your feet, where it can do no bodily harm, naturally relieving a fever.
