Fever

Normal healthy temperature of a human body is 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 Degrees F). When taken rectally it is 1 Degree F higher and the measurement taken in the armpit is normally 1 Degree F (0.5 Degree Celsius) lower. In Homeopathy, fever is not necessarily a cause of alarm. Fever is a natural way for the body to fight disease. A slightly higher body temperature may actually be good, as the body fights the infection.
