For Fevers and Flu
Getting the flu can make you feel absolutely miserable and it usually puts most of us out of commission for days. Here are some things to help you feel a little better.
Aspirin: Advised by doctors, to reduce fever and muscle aches. I use an enteric coated aspirin, to avoid stomach distress.
Flu and cold symptoms: Mix some real lemon juice, one spoonful of honey and one spoonful of brandy and drink it all.
Give children a sponge bath: Using lukewarm water, give your child a sponge bath when he or she has a fever.
Liquid Diet: Water, Chicken Broth, Herb Teas, Jello, Popsicles….at least until your fever, and the nausea have passed.
Steam: Create your own make shift steam room by turning on the hot water in the sink and adding a couple of teaspoons of ginger or eucalyptus oil. Get up close and breathe in the steam for some relief.
Sleep: It’s important and besides, you probably won’t feel like doing anything else anyway. If you can’t sleep, then lay down and watch a little TV.
Saffron Tea: Drink saffron tea made of half a teaspoon of saffron and boiling water.
Take a bath: Take a bath in tepid (lukewarm) water to bring down body temperatures.
Water: Drink lots of water is crucial when you have a fever. It’s very important to stay hydrated and bring your body temperature down
