Peppermint is cooling to the body and because of this as well as the
body aching that can accompany a fever it helps with all of this for
me...I don't think having a fever is necessarily a bad thing but I do
know that when the fever gets high enough there is cause for concern,
103-104 degrees is a significant fever for anyone and can cause brain
damage so in my experience in using peppermint for fever it helps
alleviate the aches, pains and extreme heat coming from the body and
allow the person affected to rest comfortably instead of being
miserable from the fever...for me it acts like a natural air
conditioner for my body.
Sorry, I don't have a scientific explanation but hopefully someone
else will...
