Description
Fever is a normal response of the immune system to control infection. If an infection has not neen sufficiently handled by the white blood cells, chemicals signal the body to raise the temperature. Fever creates an inhospitable environment for bacteria and viruses. Suppressing a fever allows the infection to spread.
Peppermint, elder, and yarrow support the body's natural defense mechanism by helping the body gently raise or lower its temperature depending on need. Remember, herbs do not artificially raise the body's temperature and cause a fever. Rather, they can support what the body naturally wants to do. Always consult your health care professional if your child has a fever.

Fevers can be your child's best healing friend. They can also be very dangerous. An infant less than 6 months old with a fever should be seen by their doctor. Fever is generally the body's natural immune response to a bacterial or viral infection. Within reason, a fever should be allowed to go its own course, yet parents are advised to call the doctor's office if the fever reaches 102 F.
Symptoms: You can have a seriously ill child with a low temperature, or a chld that's healing just fine with a high temperature. Watch your child, note their energy level, and treat the child, not the thermometer. When in doubt, call or visit your medical practitioner.
Causes: Bacterial or viral infection, digestive disorders, ear infection, teething.
Other Relief:
Draw the curtains and let your child sleep and sleep.
Provide plenty of liquids served at room temperature to prevent dehydration.
Hold your child, all day long if they desire.

What an honor it is for each of us to be involved in children's health care! To be allowed to participate in such a vital part of a child's growth is certainly one of the greatest satisfactions we could ever receive. Sharing the age-old tradition of using healing plants to nourish and soothe an ailing child is not only a health care decision; it's an art, an act of environmental commitment, a quest for more information, a pledge towards a gentler, simpler and more affordable way of life. Teaching children to appreciate remedies that come from the garden is one simple step towards the lifestyle we all yearn for, and can be the hands-on approach to taking part in our own health care that is our birthright.
Herbal medicine must be used wisely. We are fortunate to live in a time when excellent technological treatments are available for major health challenges. We must now be willing to learn what our limitations are, and what the limitations of modern medicine are. As parents and herbal educators, we must co-operate, in the finest sense of the word, with our medical practitioners: listening carefully to our doctors' good advice, learning from them as we see them learning from us and creating a partnership of trust that includes the safe use of herbs. Keep in mind that herbal remedies are gentle yet strong, and must be used 3 - 5 times per day for results.
Life moves quickly in these times of change. A child's illness is often an invitation to slow down, rest, play and to be loved. Be sure to listen to their message. Trust the plants.
