How does Ayurveda define fever, and what are the best natural remedies for it? - #16598
Last month, I had a fever that lasted for almost a week, and I felt completely drained. At first, it started with mild chills and a headache, but then my body temperature shot up, and I had body aches, extreme fatigue, and a loss of appetite. I went to a doctor, and they said it was a viral fever, so they prescribed antipyretic medicines and told me to rest. I took the medicine, and my fever eventually went down, but even after recovering, I still felt weak and tired for weeks. I started wondering—why does a fever make the body feel so exhausted even after it's gone? And more importantly, is there a natural way to manage fever without relying only on medications? I came across some Ayurvedic texts that mention Jwara (fever) as an important sign of toxins or imbalances in the body. But I don’t fully understand—does Ayurveda consider fever as something to be suppressed, or is it a natural detox process? And how do I know when a fever is a sign of something serious? Are there Ayurvedic herbs, foods, or treatments that can help reduce fever naturally while also supporting the body's healing process? I’ve heard about using Giloy (Guduchi), Tulsi, and Neem for fevers, but I’m not sure how to prepare or use them effectively. Also, since I had a long-lasting fever, I want to make sure my immunity is strong. Does Ayurveda suggest any immunity-boosting remedies or lifestyle changes to prevent future fevers? If anyone has experience treating fevers naturally with Ayurveda, I’d love to hear about the remedies that worked. What’s the best way to recover from post-fever weakness and regain full energy?
