Most of the time when someone has a fever, the typical response is: take two aspirin and go to sleep. Right? Well, that’s old news! While mainstream medicine may not have an immediate remedy for a fever, those of us who understand how the human body works know the best natural solution: a bowel movement! Or many bowel movements.
The Gut-Fever Connection
The gut is approximately the length of two football fields—a vast territory where bacteria can settle or undigested food can linger, ferment, and become a breeding ground for bacterial growth. In most cases, a fever signals an issue in the gut. 100% of the time, an enema will reduce a fever quickly. If you have a fever and remove the offending substance from the intestines, the fever will decrease.
Fever Relief for Babies and Infants
Our first line of defense? Encouraging bowel movements.
- Teething fevers: Minerals and vitamin C can bring down the fever and encourage elimination.
- Natural laxatives: Mango, flaxseed meal, and prune juice may work well.
- Electrolyte balance: Extra pink salt can also help.
Enemas: A Fast and Effective Fever Solution
For older children and adults, an enema is often the best choice—especially if a person with a fever has not had a bowel movement in a day or longer. The bowel is where the body eliminates waste; keeping it lingering inside only worsens toxicity. Given that colon cancer rates are high, the longer waste remains in the intestines, the worse it is for overall health.
The best approach to lowering a fever:
- Increase probiotics to balance gut bacteria.
- Eat foods that naturally promote bowel movements.
- Use a colonic or a self-administered enema.
How to Perform an Enema
An enema is simple: warm water with pink salt, gently injected into the rectum. You can purchase an enema bag, an enema bucket, or a store-bought fleet enema. If using a store-bought version, discard the pre-filled liquid and replace it with clean, filtered water, adding ½ teaspoon or more of pink salt and 5 drops of pH minerals.
For enemas before 2 PM, you may add 1-3 tablespoons of brewed organic coffee. Believe it or not, this is the healthiest way to consume coffee—it helps open the gallbladder and bile ducts, stimulating the liver’s detoxification process.

Probiotics and Gut Health
While enemas primarily cleanse the large intestine, probiotics benefit the small intestine. Some people find that simply adding a high-quality probiotic can help them have a bowel movement and naturally reduce their fever.
If it doesn’t work immediately, don’t worry! Taking additional probiotics when you’re sick or after an enema is essential to replenish gut health.

Administering Enemas for Children
For young children, enemas can be easily administered:
- Use a mirror or playful distraction while gently inserting the tube.
- Under age 5: Minimal risk of emotional trauma.
- Above age 5 or 6: Assess whether your child is in a state where an enema would be appropriate.
Prevention is Key!
Every time you or your child experiences a fever, consider what was recently eaten and take the opportunity to clean up your diet. Health begins in the gut, and a well-functioning digestive system is your body’s best defense against illness!
