Title: The Treatment of Acute Fever with Botanicals
Speaker: Paul Bergner
This talk begins with a discussion of the physiology of fever, including its three stages. The body's response as the temperature rises is described. The strategy for dealing with each stage of fever is presented, along with the potential adverse effects of fever suppression with medication. A materia medica includes stimulant, relaxant and antiipyretic herbs, and classical pairs of herbs for the treatment of fever. This discussion is valuable for anyone who has faced the chills and aches of colds and flu in the winter!
