1. Take 7-8 leaves of basil and 3-4 grains of black pepper and chew them together. The two spices are very good at lowering fever.
 
2. Soak basil leaves in boiling water and drink 3-4 times a day, until the fever comes down.
 
3. In a pot of water, mix a half spoon of cinnamon, 2 seeds of cardamom and two spoons of ginger powder. Bring to a boil, filter and drink.
 
4. Make a warm bath and add a few drops of vinegar. 
 

5. Dip a towel in hot water, squeeze and put on your head. Wet the towel from time to time.
 
6. It's important to drink a lot of water during a fever, but we recommend boiling it first to prevent further contamination.
 
7. Drink a glass of milk, and better if it's whipped. You can whip it by: Taking two glasses and pouring the milk into one, and passing the milk between the glass vertically. Do so several times until it is whipped and then drink.
 
8. At night, go to sleep with warm clothes and a warm blanket. During sleep, you may sweat, but don't take off the blanket. You need to let the body sweat. You'll need to keep drinking water throughout the night so as not to dehydrate, but it will help the fever come down. This works because the sweat expunges toxins from the body, so the more you sweat, the quicker you'll heal.
 
 
9. Mix 4-5 cups of vinegar and 2 cups of lukewarm water in a bowl. Dip a clean towel in the bowl and squeeze it. Tie the strap of cloth around your ankle.
 
10. Mix water and vinegar in equal amounts. Dip a cotton ball in the mix, squeeze and put on your forehead for several minutes. 
 
11. Crush two teeth of garlic and mix with 2 table spoons of olive oil. Heat the mix and spread on both feet. Wrap with plastic wrap and stay like this for the night. Stay with it for an hour after you feel the fever come down.
 
12. Cut a potato into slices and dip each slice in vinegar for 10 minutes. Put the slices on your forehead and put a towel on top.
 
13. Drink a brew of boiling water with lemon, honey and ginger, several times a day.
 
14. Put half an onion on each ankle and tie with cloth.
 
15. Wear warm clothes and bundle up well. Boil water in a bowl and soak your feet for 20 minutes. Don't stop because you're sweating, it's crucial for your fever drop. Just remember to drink lots of water.
 
16. Mix lemon juice with olive oil and smear it on your body.
 
17. Dip a pair of socks in white vinegar and put them on. Wrap the body in a warm blanket and rest.
 
18. Mix half a spoon of saffron in a glass of boiling water. Let it cool and take a spoon from the saffron mix every hour until the fever comes down.
 
19. Eat an orange. An orange gives you immediate energy, it makes you pee and strengthens the immune system. The grapefruit also has anti-feverish advantages, and so it is also recommended to mix half a cup of grapefruit juice with water and drink.
 
20. Eat green vegetables to detox your body, and avoid fatty or spicy foods that can elevate your temperature.

Seaweed chemical can help treat arthritis

A chemical produced by“nuisance” seaweed which has been 
destroying coral reefs in Hawaii could be used to develop 
drugs to treat arthritis, scientists say.
Researchers from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography 
in US found the seaweed is packed with tiny photosynthetic
 organisms called “cyanobacterium” which produce 
compounds that have shown promise in combating bacterial
 infections.

It could also be used in future medicines to treat other 
chronic diseases from arthritis to cancer to heart trouble, 
the researchers said.

The researchers, who first found the organism in 2008 off 
the Kona coast of Hawaii, took samples in 2009 as they 
were overgrowing and smothering the corals underneath by
 releasing a chemical that was causing the corals to bleach.
Tests on the chemical revealed some surprising results - the 
seaweed was generating natural products called honaucins, 
which had potent anti-inflammation and bacteria-
controlling properties.

About 350 million people worldwide have arthritis that 
causes pain and inflammation within a joint. Currently, 
there is no cure for it though painkillers and non-steroidal 
drugs are often prescribed to help treat the symptoms.

It’s a long road to go from this early-stage discovery to 
application in the clinic but it’s the only road if we want new 
and more efficacious medicines.
