Hi, My name is Mark Brinson. Doctor of Oriental Medicine. Physical medicine specialist. You

may have a fever and want to somethings naturally in order to reduce it. I want to talk to you

just for a second about fever itself and the process that goes on. So, that you understand

what you are trying to manipulate here. Fever is the one of the body's first signs that

something is wrong internally. Especially if you have a virus or a bacteria that's at

work inside of you. Fever is important to have though. As the fever starts to rise there

are certain things you that you will notice. You will notice increased respiration about

five for every degree rise in the pulse. The pulse is also going to get higher, about ten

beats per minute for every degree rise in body temperature. Usually, around one hundred

and one you will start to get a nice little headache that goes along with it. This fever

process is pretty important though. Because, not only in addition to providing an environment

that's not so good for bacteria and viruses. They don't like to operate in that higher

temperature. Your body is also producing more white blood cells. Very, very significantly

and trying to move them to the side of that infection. That's being harboured inside the

body. Now, while you want to let fever ride a little bit, a little bit higher. So, for

instance, maybe for an adult 102. Maybe for a child 103 or so. There are times when you

want to reduce it. So, if it starts to get to 102 or above for an adult , 103 or above

for a child. There are somethings you can do to significantly reduce it. Obviously,

there's the things that you can do with over the counter medications. The anti-pyretics,

such as aspirin can be quite good. But, if you want a couple natural remedies. For adults

you can take the top of the ear, by finding the apex. Just bend the ear forward and the

point right at the top. Gently stimulate that by pinching it or you can prick it with a

tiny little pin. Letting a drop of blood go and that not only reduces fever but it also

reduces blood pressure. In the child, coming from the back of the neck downward in downward

strokes. One way only. If you stroke very rapidly. Three hundred to five hundred times.

This can drop fever two to three points in just three or four minutes. If you do need

to reduce a little bit quicker as well. You can put somebody into to a tub of water but

don't use cold water. That can put the person into shock. What you want to use is a likely

warm bath. Because, even of the warmth of the water isn't going to be over what their

normally is. A warm bath is usually only about ninety eight degrees. Don't put them in cold

water. It can induce shock. Now, with anything if you have got a fever for more than a couple

of days you want to make sure that you check with family physician. My name is Mark Brinson.
