Fever Away Bath Tea
Yarrow is extremely effective for breaking a fever, but it’s safe enough for children and even babies. You can bathe a small baby in yarrow, use cloths soaked in yarrow infusion for children if they are too weak to get into the bath and older children can sip the infusion. Yarrow works by opening up the pores to encourage sweating, so it is great if your child just gets hotter and hotter without sweating.
To make an infusion, steep 1/2 tsp dried yarrow in a cup of boiling water. Cover and let the herb infuse for ten minutes. Strain and drink when cool enough to sip. Within an hour, your child should start to sweat and feel much more comfortable.
To make a bath tea, a strong infusion is made with about an ounce of dried yarrow to a quart of water, and allowed to steep for an hour. Pour into the baby bathtub with enough cool water to bring it to a safe temperature.
As always, please do your own research.
