Helps to lower fever.

If the fever does not break within an hour and is higher than 40 degrees Celsius, seek medical assistance.

Fever:
Fever is a common physiological response to infection or illness, characterized by an elevated body temperature. In children, fever often results from viral or bacterial infections and can be accompanied by symptoms such as chills, sweating, headache, and general discomfort. While fever itself is not a disease, it can indicate an underlying condition that requires attention. Managing fever often involves addressing both the fever itself and its underlying cause.

Impact on Children:
In young children, fever can cause significant discomfort and distress. It may also lead to complications such as dehydration or febrile seizures. Therefore, effective management is crucial to alleviate symptoms, reduce discomfort, and monitor for potential complications.

Biological and Cellular Processes:

Upon topical application, the essential oils are absorbed through the skin and enter the systemic circulation. The therapeutic compounds then interact with the body’s inflammatory and immune responses:

• Anti-Inflammatory Action: Compounds such as boswellic acids (frankincense) and gingerol (ginger) modulate the inflammatory response, reducing systemic inflammation and helping to manage fever-associated discomfort.
• Cooling and Analgesic Effects: Menthol (peppermint) and cineole (eucalyptus) provide a cooling effect that aids in reducing fever and alleviates associated symptoms like headache and muscle aches.
• Immune Support and Infection Management: Terpinen-4-ol (tea tree) helps to combat underlying infections that may be causing the fever, supporting the body’s natural healing process and reducing fever duration.
• Calming and Relaxation: Linalool (lavender) helps soothe the nervous system and reduce irritability associated with fever, promoting relaxation and overall well-being.

Indications:

• Fever Relief: Provides symptomatic relief from fever-related discomfort, including headaches and muscle aches.
• Cooling Effect: Helps to promote the body’s natural cooling mechanisms and reduce elevated body temperature.
• Immune Support: Assists in combating underlying infections that may contribute to fever.
