Fever: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment at Shree Laxmi Narayan Ayurvedic Aushadhayalay

A fever isn’t an illness it’s your body’s signal that something’s not right. It might be as simple as a viral infection or something more serious that needs attention. At Shree Laxmi Narayan Ayurvedic Aushadhayalay, we take every fever seriously. Using a balanced approach of traditional Ayurvedic remedies and modern diagnostics, we treat the person not just the temperature.

What Is Fever?

A fever is when your body temperature rises above its normal level, usually 98.6°F (37°C). Anything above 100.4°F (38°C) is considered a fever. This increase in temperature is your body’s natural response to infections or inflammation.

In Ayurveda, fever is known as “Jwara”, and is believed to result from an imbalance in the doshas (vata, pitta, kapha), along with ama (toxins). Understanding this helps guide holistic treatment.

In some cases, fever may be linked to underlying hormonal issues or chronic inflammation. Women experiencing irregular periods or hormonal imbalance might want to explore Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD): Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Diet, and Treatment as a related condition.
