What Are the Benefits of Using Zhuru, Chenpi, and Silkworm Sand for Fever Relief?

There are many reasons that can cause fever. Once the symptoms of fever appear, it is necessary to take timely measures to reduce the fever. Fever reduction methods are generally divided into two types: drug fever reduction and physical fever reduction. Fever can also be reduced with bamboo shavings, dried tangerine peel, and silkworm excreta, which have a certain fever-reducing effect and can usually avoid repeated increases in body temperature.

Dried tangerine peel, bamboo shavings, and silkworm excreta have a certain fever-reducing effect. Among them, bamboo shavings have the function of clearing heat and resolving phlegm, relieving annoyance and quenching thirst. Silkworm excreta has the function of dispelling wind and dampness, harmonizing the stomach and resolving dampness, and can also stop diarrhea. Dried tangerine peel can disperse wind-cold, resolve phlegm and stop cough, regulate upper respiratory tract infection, warm the stomach and stop vomiting, and relieve indigestion. If there is a fever condition, it is still recommended to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and use medication after clarifying the cause. Many people choose to take medicine when they feel fever, including both Western and traditional Chinese medicine. Bamboo shavings, silkworm excreta, and dried tangerine peel are a type of traditional Chinese medicine decoction often used to reduce fever. Mix bamboo shavings, silkworm excreta, and dried tangerine peel, add an appropriate amount of cold water, cook until the water boils, and then cook for five minutes. Generally, the temperature will drop after the first drink, and drinking four times a day usually prevents repeated increases in body temperature. It should be noted that if given to children, the dosage should be reduced, and attention should be paid to warmth and sweating. Generally speaking, if the fever is detected in time and the temperature is not too high, some physical tricks can be used to reduce the temperature, which has less stimulation on the body. First, drink more warm water, wear more clothes, and preferably cover with a blanket, so that the heat in the body can be dissipated through sweating. Then, if the body temperature continues to rise, alcohol can be applied to areas such as behind the ears and the center of the foot, and continuously massaged to dissipate heat using alcohol. As we all know, soaking feet can promote blood circulation and can therefore reduce body surface temperature to a certain extent. It is best to add a small amount of ginger to the water.

If you have a fever and your body temperature rises, there are several things to note. First, get plenty of rest and avoid strenuous exercise, especially avoiding excessive sweating, as sweating opens pores, reduces body resistance, and can lead to worsening fever. Additionally, drinking plenty of water not only helps reduce fever but also helps eliminate toxins from the body through urine, which can contribute to relieving fever. Furthermore, physical cooling methods such as warm water baths and alcohol baths can help remove body heat through evaporation through the skin. If the body temperature is excessively high, exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, analgesic and antipyretic drugs such as acetaminophen can be taken. It is also important to visit a hospital for relevant examinations to determine the cause of the fever and undergo treatment accordingly.
