Abstract:
Background: Fever (pyrexia) is a common clinical condition arising from various etiologies, including infections, inflammation, and systemic disorders. While conventional medicine typically views fever as a symptom that requires suppression, homoeopathy interprets it as a vital expression of the body's self-regulatory mechanism. Understanding the physiological basis of thermoregulation and integrating it with the homoeopathic philosophy provides a rational framework for individualised treatment of febrile states. Methods: This review synthesises information from standard physiological texts and classical homoeopathic literature to analyse the mechanism of fever and its therapeutic management. It explores the hypothalamic regulation of body temperature, immune-mediated febrile responses, and the individualised selection of homoeopathic remedies. Remedy indications are categorised based on type, modality, stage of fever, and miasmatic background. Results: Fever is mediated through cytokine-induced elevation of the hypothalamic thermoregulatory set-point. Homoeopathic remedies such as Aconitum napellus, Belladonna, Gelsemium, Bryonia, Ferrum phosphoricum, and Arsenicum album exhibit effective therapeutic roles when prescribed on totality of symptoms. Unlike conventional antipyretics, these remedies aim to support the immune response without suppression. Furthermore, understanding the underlying miasmatic influence (Psora, Sycosis, Syphilis, or Tubercular) enhances the depth of constitutional prescribing and prevents chronic recurrence. Conclusion: Homoeopathy provides a holistic, non-suppressive, and individualised approach to fever management, aligning with the body's natural physiological and immunological processes. The integration of modern physiological insights and homoeopathic therapeutics enables a deeper understanding of fever as a healing expression rather than a pathological enemy. Recognising and treating fever from this perspective fosters long-term resilience and vitality.
