Description
Fever Relief Glycerin Tincture (Nature’s Tylenol)
This formula is composed of botanicals traditionally used to modulate fever, support immune response, and promote systemic comfort during acute viral infections. The glycerin-based extraction offers a gentler delivery medium, making it well-suited for individuals experiencing febrile or inflammatory conditions, while maintaining the efficacy of key phytochemicals.
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
Yarrow exhibits antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and diaphoretic properties. It promotes peripheral vasodilation and induces mild perspiration, helping regulate body temperature during febrile states. Through its diaphoretic action, yarrow supports the elimination of pathogens and metabolic waste via the skin, thereby contributing to more efficient resolution of infections associated with colds and influenza.
Catnip (Nepeta cataria)
Traditionally used in the management of fever and upper respiratory symptoms, catnip acts as a gentle antipyretic and mild sedative. It facilitates sweating and temperature regulation while helping to relieve congestion and associated discomfort. Catnip’s nervine and carminative effects also support relaxation and digestive comfort during illness.
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)
Lemon balm possesses diaphoretic, antiviral, and mild sedative properties. Its primary active constituent, rosmarinic acid, exhibits significant antiviral activity and contributes to the herb’s ability to reduce viral replication. Historically employed in the management of viral conditions such as mumps and influenza, lemon balm also exerts anxiolytic and spasmolytic effects, supporting rest, recovery, and digestive balance during febrile or viral episodes.
Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla)
Chamomile provides mild antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and sedative actions. It acts on the central nervous system to alleviate irritability, restlessness, anxiety, and insomnia commonly associated with febrile conditions. Additionally, chamomile’s anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic effects support gastrointestinal comfort, mucosal healing, and overall systemic relaxation during periods of stress or infection.
Clinical Considerations
The Fever Relief Glycerin Tincture is formulated for use during acute viral infections, particularly when symptoms include fever, restlessness, and mild inflammation. Its glycerin base offers a gentle alternative to alcohol extractions, improving tolerability and compliance, especially in children or individuals sensitive to stronger preparations.
