all types of persistent fevers has been

recommended by the Government of Tamil Nadu as a remedy for dengue, bird flu etc

the increasing demand for this remedy.
There has been a sudden increase in dengue fever, swine flu, bird flu in India a
nd this preparation has been found to be
helpful in treating all these types of fevers.
The original ingredients of this wonder drug as per some old Siddha texts were r
oots of nilavembu, musuttai ver,
vetti ver (Vetiveria zizanioides), vilamichai ver (Plectranthus vettiveroides),
dry ginger. Other ingredients like

tc were added down the centuries to

Siddha, Ayurveda and other alternative systems do not regard fever as a disease
but as a symptom of an underlying
disease condition. The temperature of our body rises when the body s defence mech
anism is fully engaged in dealing
with severe disease condition affecting the human body. Harmful germs, bacteria
etc will find it difficult to survive
the high temperature of a feverish body. So fever is to be looked upon as a ben
eficial development.
Conventional medicinal system deals with the external causative factors of fever
alone whereas alternative systems delve
deep into the human system and strike at the very root of the illness thus effec
ting a lasting and complete cure.
Alternative remedies taken under the watchful eyes of an experienced alternative
physician will result in a gradual
and effective cure from fever.
Increasing environmental degradation, pollution, stress etc take a toll on human
immunity. The compromised immune
system in an individual is a fertile ground for the invasion of all types of dis
eases. When the condition builds up
and reaches a threshold, the weakened immune system as a last-ditch attempt rais
es the body temperature to deal with
the condition and this results in fever. Hence our efforts should be to improve
the immunity and not to suppress the fever.
All the ingredients for this concoction can be purchased online. It can be prep
ared in the convenience of your home and
taken in moderation as per the directions of your Siddha/Ayurveda physician. Th
is bitter remedy strengthens your immune
system and prevents the recurrence of fever.
