Which herbs will induce a fever? For instance, take a normal 98.6 and briefly push it to, say, 100 degrees? Having searched the topics of hyperthermia, fever therapy etc., I can find nothing on this subject. I can find lots of information on _external_ ways to raise body tempature, but nothing from herbs. The other accepted ways seem to be with a benign bacteria strain, but I am not sure this is best for the average patient. Any ideas most appreciated, especially if you have used them before.

Thanks.
Why do you want to do that? You could simply sit in the sauna for a while?
I'm not sure why you'd want to do that but body temperature is controlled by the hypothalamus located in the brain by something called the thermoregulatory center. It's part of the autonomic nervous system, which means it's involuntary or something you can't control. I believe with dehydration as occurs with heat stroke for example , core body temp is elevated, but not something I would recommend fooling around with, very dangerous.
a fever occurs from white blood cells releasing chemicals called pyrogens. I don't know of any herbs that might induce that event unless there was a toxic reaction or something.

the why is irrelevant, and not everyone has a sauna or is able to do it externally, that is why the question was about _internal_ ways of inducing a fever.

I have never heard of such a herb. If there were such, malignant hypertheremia, an extremely serious condition, is a potential complication of using it.

Then we'll just go with the sauna & health club membership, that should be the best way.

Mind control can work to induce a fever.
A nurse friend of mine relayed an account to me about a young man dying of cancer at the hospital. Whenever he wanted attention, he could, and would run a fever. He kept the nurses running until they understood that he could ramp his temp up or down at will.
I know honey can raise your body temperature thts why you shouldnt feed honey to babies when they have fevers... but I dont know by how much or how much you ahve to take to raise your temperature by a few degrees.
Feeding infants honey can be dangerous under the age of 2. Some medical personnel say longer. The reason honey can on occasion induce a fever and is dangerous to small children is that it can contain traces of Salmonella. Salmonella at just trace levels usually present know threat to a healthy adult body. However, give the bacteria time to grow and it can be deadly to any human. Heating or cooking honey to a certain temperature destroys the bacteria.
My mother, (her father was a herbal doctor), once told me that you could induce fever by cutting an onion in two halves and keeping them under the armpit for some time. She did that when she was young.

I heard that if you wear foil on your head it'll keep aliens from stealing your thoughts. If you wear foil on your head and put onions under your armpits, the aliens will kill you for being an embarrassment to sentient species.

Foil hats only keep the government from reading your thoughts. Aliens have the technology to see through foil.
Everyone has the ability to exert some control over their own vital signs for a limited amount of time (with some training). Bio-feedback was a popular practice... maybe 40 years ago. My Dad used bio-feedback/meditation (in conjunction with a blood pressure meter) to lower his blood pressure.
