Animal catches ephemeral fever while grazing in monsoon season. Due to this, joints of animal become stiff and it can not stand up. The animal limps. There is a sudden fall in the milk production in milch animal.
As a remedy to this, poison nut ( Strychnos nux-vomica), carom ( Carum copticum), Sodium bicarbonate, and ginger powder or (Zingiber officinalis) are ussed. Takes approximately one gram poison nut ( Strychnos nux-vomica), 75 g carom ( Carum copticum), 75 g Sodium bicarbonate and 75 g ginger powder (Zingiber officinalis) and grind all the four separately. Mix all ingredients then and soak this mixture in 500 ml of water for about half an hour. The mixture so prepared is then drenched to the affected animal with the help of drenching pipe. The remedy relieves the animal of ephemeral fever with 6 to 7 hr.
