Fever is a common symptom of various illnesses, ranging from a minor cold to serious infections. In Ayurveda, fever is known as “Jwara” and is considered to be caused by an imbalance of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Ayurvedic medicine offers a holistic approach to treat fever, addressing both the underlying cause and the symptoms.
Let’s delve into Ayurvedic treatment and medicine for fever
Ginger and Tulsi tea
Ginger and Tulsi (holy basil) have potent antiviral and antibacterial properties, which make them an excellent natural remedy for fever. Boil a few fresh tulsi leaves and grated ginger in water for 10 minutes, strain the tea, and drink it while it’s still warm. You can also add honey and lemon juice for added benefits.
Coriander tea
Coriander seeds are known to be a natural coolant and have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce fever. Boil a teaspoon of coriander seeds in water for 5 minutes, strain the tea, and drink it warm.
Turmeric milk
Turmeric has powerful anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties that can help boost the immune system and reduce fever. Mix a teaspoon of turmeric powder with warm milk and drink it before going to bed.
Triphala churna
Triphala churna is a combination of three fruits: Amla, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki. It has antipyretic properties that can help lower fever. Mix a teaspoon of Triphala churna with honey and water and drink it twice a day.
Guduchi
Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) is known to be a natural immunity booster and has antipyretic properties that can help reduce fever. Boil a few Guduchi leaves in water for 10 minutes, strain the tea, and drink it warm.
Amla
Amla (Indian gooseberry) is a rich source of Vitamin C, which can help boost immunity and reduce fever. Crush a few Amla fruits and extract the juice. Mix the juice with honey and drink it twice a day.
Neem
Neem has antipyretic, antiviral, and antibacterial properties that can help reduce fever and fight infections. Boil a few neem leaves in water for 10 minutes, strain the tea, and drink it warm.
Apart from these natural remedies, Ayurvedic treatment for fever involves a holistic approach, which includes a healthy diet, lifestyle changes, and regular exercise. Ayurvedic physicians also recommend Panchakarma therapies like Vamana and Virechana, which involve detoxification of the body to balance the doshas and promote overall health.
Conclusion
Ayurveda offers a natural and holistic approach to treat fever, which involves the use of natural remedies and lifestyle changes to promote overall health and well-being. However, it’s essential to consult an Ayurvedic physician before using any Ayurvedic medicine or treatment to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
