In Siddha medicine, fever is referred to as "pirappu" or "vali." Siddha medicine offers various herbal remedies to treat fever, depending on the underlying cause and symptoms. Here are some commonly used Siddha medicines for fever:

• Nilavembu Kudineer: This is a popular Siddha herbal decoction used to treat fever caused by various infections. It contains herbs like Nilavembu (Andrographis paniculata), Vilamichai ver (Acorus calamus), Karpuravalli (Coleus aromaticus), and more.

• Amukkara Chooranam: It is a herbal powder made from the roots of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera). It is believed to strengthen the immune system and help the body fight off infections causing fever.

• Kandankathiri Chooranam: This herbal powder is derived from the roots of Solanum surattense. It is used in Siddha medicine to alleviate fever and reduce associated symptoms.

• Chiratai Chooranam: Chirata (Swertia chirata) is used in Siddha medicine to treat intermittent fever and boost the body's immunity.

• Sitharathai Chooranam: This herbal powder is derived from the rhizomes of Alpinia galanga. It is known for its antipyretic properties and is used to reduce fever.

• Coriander Decoction: A decoction made from coriander seeds is used in Siddha medicine to bring down fever and provide relief from associated symptoms.

Remember, while Siddha medicine has been used traditionally for ages, it's essential to consult a qualified Siddha practitioner or a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment, especially if the fever persists or worsens. Additionally, modern medical advice should not be disregarded, and Siddha remedies should be used as complementary approaches under medical supervision.
