From Prevention Magazine, Eric Yarnell, ND suggests sipping linen flower tea.
This tea stimulates the hypothalamus to better control the temperature, and it dilates blood vessels, inducing sweating according to Yarnell.
Here's how to make it. Steep 1 tablespoon of dried herb (available in health food stores) in a cup of hot water for 15 minutes, then sip. Drink three to four cups a day.
For a high fever (above 102 degrees), take a tepid bath, which simply cools the body to match the water temperature. Bathe until your temperature decreases to 101 to 102 degrees, then sip linden flower tea to lower it even more.
There is also the homeopathic way to treat fever using Belladonna. You can get this at most drug stores now.
For more information about the use of homeopathy visit the National Institute of Health division called the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Click here http://nccam.nih.gov/health/homeopathy/ This is a great resource of studies done on a variety of natural modalities.

A Natural Treatment For The Flu That Works Wonders
I have used homeopathetic remedies for my family for many years. We use the little pills that you dissolve under your tongue for sore throats, fevers, canker sores, acne and poison ivy. I had never tried it for the flu.
One of my children was in the third day of the flu last week so I tried the remedy called OSCILLOCOCCINUM. It's by Boiron, a company I have used for years. Generally speaking you are supposed to use homeopathic medicine at the beginning stages of the illness and in fact this type of medicine is great because as your symptoms change you change the formula you use. For example if the cold starts with a sore throat you use one formula for that but when it moves into the chest you use a different one. It's a great way to treat the body as it moves through the stages.
But this remedy worked like a charm on day 3. My child was better after taking only two doses. I am amazed. I know these things work, but it still amazes me when it does so quickly.
