Fever is possibly the most commonly diagnosed health condition as well as the body's first signal of a disease or infection. The thermoregulatory set-point of the body rises in order to deal with any faulty mechanisms within the body. Fevers are usually characterized by cold bouts as well as increased muscle tone, heart rate and shivering. Low grade fever is a mild increase in the normal body temperature for an individual, usually ranging from 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit to 102.2 degrees.

Chinese medicine offers many herbs and formulas for fevers. There are many distinct kinds of fevers, also called heat syndromes. For example, an excess-heat syndrome is characterized by a high fever, great thirst, and lots of sweating. Deficiency heat syndrome is characterized by a low-grade fever with afternoon fevers or night sweats. For excess heat, herbs that are dispersing and cold in nature are used. For chronic and low-grade fevers, herbs that tonify the yin (cooling aspect) are used as well as herbs that get rid of heat. There are even herbs such as bupleurum root (called Chai Hu in TCM) that are used for intermittent fevers or conditions alternating between fever and chills. Alternating fevers and chills occur in malaria, conditions connected to AIDS, chronic fatigue syndrome, and Epstein-Barr virus. The individual pattern should be diagnosed by a trained practitioner.
