This is an old Chinese remedy that my mother used to do on me and anyone who was sick (whether it was fever, headache, flu, etc.) and it does wonders.
First you boil an egg or two until it's done, and you take the shell off (quickly, because the heat will escape. You need a hot egg for this to work, not a warm one), stick a coin in it (we always used a coin made of real silver, I think), and wrap it in a cloth.
Then rub that rigorously over the forehead, chest, stomach, and back (this will burn, because the egg is really hot) until the egg becomes warm. When you take the silver coin out, it should have become dark (my mother said this was because the egg 'captured' the sickness from the body).
Repeat one or two more times, and you should feel better instantly. It always worked for me.

I love how so many postings in here start with: 'I know it sounds crazy but....'
So here's mine...
Vinegar socks.
The danger here is that this method will bring down a very high temperature VERY quickly...
It's simple.... take a pair of socks, soak them (I mean SOAK them... like in a sink) in regular white vinegar, then put them your feet (or better said... on the feet of the person with the fever).
Be sure to monitor the temperature WHILE the socks are on. It will drop in seconds.
P.s. You may want to have an old towel at the foot of the bed, under the feet with the vinegar socks... it get's a little smelly...

No lie!!!! if you cut up an onion and put like two rings on your foot then put socks on, it will cure a fever! It works when the onion turns brown it means your fever is gone! if this doesn't work try again by the second time it will work! (works best with clean feet!)

Came across your site and thought i'd submit something.
I know of an exceptionally effective natural remedy for healing burns and lowering a fever: egg whites.
Egg whites are by far the best method to lower a high temperature within MINUTES! When I was about 4 or 5 years old, I had acquired a fever so high that I started to hallucinate. My mother was in a panic, she feared brain damage if something didn't lower the fever and FAST. My grandma told her to soak 2 cloths or hankerchiefs in egg whites and put on the soles of the feet (cover with socks). The egg whites instantaneously start to draw the temperature DOWN from the brain (where it is dangerous) to the feet (where it can do no damage). After that incident my mom used this method successfully every time I had high temp.
The egg whites are also a miracle cure for burns, even severe ones. Soak or coat affected area in egg white. While the egg white is still wet you will feel no pain from the burn. As soon as it dries up the pain comes back so reapplication is necessary. This method not only aleviates the pain it actually heals and prevents scarring from the burn.
I submited this remedy to earthclinic.com and there has been a lot of positive feed back: http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/fever.html
I would like to let more people know about the miraculous effectiveness of treating fevers and burns with egg whites so please post this on your site if you deem fit.
Best regards,
Ani from Ontario, Canada

Go to bed around 10pm and sleep until 6am because between the hours of 10pm and 2am is when your body fights disease.

To bring a fever down:

Tylenol also works..
For children if the room temp bath is not working,
Take childrens tylenol, then a few hours later when its time to give meds again do childrens motron, go back and forth between the two..

Flu, Fever, Colds or just not feeling so good-
Take Vick's vapor rub or tiger balm, rub it on your back. Then take a quarter or the metal lid from the container and have someone rub your back with it. Rub it up and down (vertically) until your back is very red or black and blue-Im really serious.
I know this sounds wierd. But this is an ancient Chinese remedy. My mom used to do this to me and my sisters ( & had us to do it to her) and we always felt better. Ive introduced it to my husband when he had a flu and he felt better the next day. The Vicks vapor rub just makes you feel better and there is just something that the coin does, too. I know that the coin massages your muscle tissues very well but it does something else mysteriously miraculous.
Just be careful...here in America, they will think you are being abused. :)

Drink lots of fluids. Also, drink plenty of parsley or red raspberry tea to help bring down the fever.
