NATURE DOCTOR – DIURETIC
A diuretic will help to stimulate the kidneys. One of the best remedies is goldenrod (Solidago), but if this is not readily available use horsetail (shave grass). An infusion of parsley, onions or juniper berries may also be effective. Should none of these be available, make an infusion of rose hips which, although relatively mild in its effect, is still better than nothing.
Once the kidneys are working properly, elimination through the skin must also be stimulated.
Hot compresses are always indicated for the treatment of a feverish condition. If you are uncertain as to the correct procedure, ask for a practical demonstration at a home-nursing class or obtain some written instructions. To go about it the wrong way can do more harm than good. However, a compress for the chest or buttocks should not be too difficult to handle; just take care that there are no spaces between the skin and the compress. If the patient is well wrapped, he will soon begin to perspire. If he then complains of being too hot, you can always
apply cold compresses to his calves or put socks soaked in vinegar on his feet. It will not be long before the patient begins to feel more comfortable and so able to sleep. You now see how simple the natural solution is. There is really no need to give way to fear and make use of harmful pills and potions.
