Are you feverish ?
Who has never had a fever? no one. Fever due to flu or due to inflammation. There are natural ways you can do to relieve a fever without having to take medication or go to a doctor.
Today, @HealthWizard will discuss how to overcome fever.
Natural way to overcome fever :
- Drink coconut water
Coconut water has an electrolyte content similar to the liquid composition in the human body. Drinking coconut water has a very good benefit for you who are feverish, because it can meet the needs of body fluids lost during fever and reduce heat.
- Do not compress using cold water
Compress is a common way to reduce fever. The use of cold water to compress will send signals to the hypothalamus to raise the body temperature, because the cold temperature on the forehead will be captured by the brain as low temperatures in the environment around the body. As a result, the hypothalamus will regulate the body's temperature control center to raise the temperature again, so the fever will be higher.
- Consumption of fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables have a lot of vitamins, minerals, and water needed by the body in the healing process. The content of vitamins and minerals will help the body treat inflammation and reduce body heat.
- Lots of rest and sleep
Do not do activities that make you tired. If it is too forced to do the job as usual, the body condition can be weakened and the fever will heal longer. Increasing rest will help the body to regenerate the body cells damaged by inflammation and infection and help the formation of the body's defense system better
- Consuming Vitamin C
At the time of fever, Vitamin C is very useful for treating inflammation if you experience symptoms of fever due to flu. In addition, Vitamin C also increases endurance and helps heal wounds.
At the time we have a fever, the body will feel weak and not energized. Try to rest, even if you are not sleepy, lie down and relax in your bed for a while.
Very informative!
Thanks a lot @alan083
Very useful information! Quick question: Isn't it the body's normal response to raise body temperature in an attempt to kill(?) whatever is causing the fever in the first place?
