Which herbs will induce a fever? For instance, take
a normal 98.6 and briefly push it to, say, 100 degrees?
Having searched the topics of hyperthermia, fever therapy
etc., I can find nothing on this subject. I can find
lots of information on _external_ ways to raise body
tempature, but nothing from herbs.
The other accepted ways seem to be with a benign bacteria
strain, but I am not sure this is best for the average
patient.
Any ideas most appreciated, especially if you have used
them before.
Thanks.

Why do you want to do that? You could simply sit in the sauna for a while?

Look up the term Carminative. Maybe something there.

I'm not sure why you'd want to do that but body temperature is controlled by
the hypothalamus located in the brain by something called the
thermoregulatory center.
It's part of the autonomic nervous system, which means it's involuntary or
something you can't control.
I believe with dehydration as occurs with heat stroke for example , core
body temp is elevated, but not something I would recommend fooling around
with, very dangerous.
a fever occurs from white blood cells releasing chemicals called pyrogens. I
don't know of any herbs that might induce that event unless there was a
toxic reaction or something.

the why is irrelevant, and not everyone has
a sauna or is able to do it externally, that is
why the question was about _internal_ ways of
inducing a fever.

I have never heard of such a herb. If there were such, malignant
hypertheremia, an extremely serious condition, is a potential complication
of using it.

Then we'll just go with the sauna & health club
membership, that should be the best way.

Mind control can work to induce a fever.
A nurse friend of mine relayed an account to me about a young man dying of
cancer at the hospital. Whenever he wanted attention, he could, and would run
a fever. He kept the nurses running until they understood that he could ramp
his temp up or down at will.
