Potato

My daughter had a fever of 103. I came to Earth Clinic to find a natural remedy as we don't take any over the counter or prescription medications in our family. I found several suggestions, the sliced potatoes being my first choice because they were the least messy.
I sliced some potatoes, placed them on the bottom of my daughter's feet and wrapped her feet in towels. Within an hour her temp was down to 99. Another success story for us! Thanks so much to Earth Clinic for helping!

You rub it on their stomach,feet and back and add the baking soda and rub it in and it reduces the fever instantly.My wife was a non beleiver till she saw it with her own eyes.

Liquid Calcium

My son had a relatively high fever and was lying on the couch, not doing very well at all. I had heard about calcium for fever, so I gave him some liquid calcium in apple juice and thought I'd let him sleep. 25 minutes later I went to check on him and he was outside, riding his roller up and down the sidewalk, no sign of fever! The chiropractor who first told us about calcium said that fever is actually an attempt by the body to heat up the bones and teeth so it can remove calcium and use it for the white blood cells. So taking calcium seems to make a fever unnecessary.

I was able to break a fever using white vinegar on cloths placed on my throat & both wrists. Yes, it did smell but it broke my 104 degree temp in no time. Amazing!

Apple Cider Vinegar

When I was an infant the Dr's told my mom I was going to die, due to a particularly high fever. She was told by an elderly friend to soak a wash cloth in apple cider vinegar and place one on my forehead and one on my stomach, while it smells like all get out, my mom was able to check me out of the hospital and from that day onward, it's literally been a life saver to all the children in our family with high fevers. It takes about an hour to break the fever.

Hold the Child

To hold a child brings down the fever. When the babies get sick if you hold them in the position you would were you breastfeeding them it helps to bring down the fever...something to do with the energy flow. also you can lay them on a bed and place one hand under their head and one under their bottom and let them lay on your hands for a while. this works as well

Egg whites and socks-for a fever! My 5 year old son was sent home last monday for having a fever/headache. Well this past week, he hasn't been to school; because of a on and off again fever. I had trouble getting him to break a sweat to reduce the fever. Did the Ibuprofen and tylenol; rotation. Didn't really help. So tonight; I placed, egg whites on the soles of his feet with a baby washcloth and put socks on him and I went to his room to check on him about an hour later and he was sweating like a pig; literally!!! And his feet were very hot too! So thank god, for our ancestors!

Egg Whites on your feet for a fever. My 2 year old son had a 103 Temp. Out of desperation I put two egg whites in a bowl, soaked a baby wash cloth in it, then wrapped his foot in it, put is in a plastic sandwich bad the a sock over it. I repeated it on the other foot and with in 20 mins he has stared to cool down. I have not takeen his temp yet, but you can see that he's feeling a little better! Thank you SO SO much!!!

My daughter is 7 months old, nearly 8 months old. This morning she woke up VERY cranky, which is unusual for her. The past couple of days she has been warm, so I gave her some Motrin yesterday. When I checked her temperature today, she was at 102.3. While I was searching for information on line, I stumbled upon this website. Within 30 minutes, she was back to her normal, happy-go-lucky self. Her temp is back down to 96.7!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this information. I'm not a huge fan of Doctors and they aren't a huge fan of me because I appreciate what the Earth provides for us naturally. Love & light to you all!

This works, my 3yr old had a fever of 102.5 for hrs with no success using meds (tylenol, motrin). I googled on the internet for assistance and found this site. I went to the kitchen, used two eggs, clothes, plastic bags and socks. Soaked the egg yolks on the clothes, wrapped the clothes around his fet one at a time, put them in plastic ziploc bags and socks over them and an in about 20 mins his fever went down to 100.5. In and hour to 99.7. It works. Next time i will use saran wrap instead of ziploc for a tighter fit. I placed a towel in his bed because the yolks leaked. But it works.

Thank you soooo much for the eggwhites remedy. My 11 yr. old son had a fever of 104.5 and tylenol was not bringing it down at all. He was starting to feel strange, dizzy and lightheaded. I was going to take him to the hospital when I found this website. I SOAKED 2 thin cloths with egg whites and wrpped his feet He went to 102 within 20 minutes(which is a big releif after seeing 104.5!) . I had to re-soak every 20 minutes thereafter because his hot feet were drying out the cloth. I'm so grateful, thank Again!

Thank you so much the egg white remedy worked extremely well. My 23 year old boy friend is such a ninny, and refuses to listen to any medical advice that's not mainstream. But when he came down with the flu, laid up in bed and almost in tears from fever and aches; I googled the quickest way to cure a fever from the flu. This website was one of the first 3 to show up. I took the last of our eggs and cut an old sock of his in-half. Then, I drenched them in the egg whites. (The socks weren't that absorbant, being that they were thin and worn) Lastly, I placed plastic bags around each foot, and then large socks. He thought I was nuts. But within 15 minutes he was saying that he felt cooler and less achy all over. Thank you so much for helping with my "grown" baby!

My daughter woke up crying and screaming with an extremely high fever. I tried the egg whites on the bottom of her feet. I put 1 egg white directly into each of the plastic ziploc bags (saw this recommendation on the other comments) and put her foot right in each one. Even though she was still screaming, we kept her feet in the bags for for 5 minutes. It was amazing...the fever went down to 101. She went back to sleep and woke up the next morning with only a low grade fever. We are going to let the body do its work. Thank you for your site. We are on here EVERY DAY! GOD BLESS!
