Measles

As a home remedy for measles, Watercress is taken internally and was used in the treatment of measles, and a hot decoction of burdock was administered to the patient to induce perspiration and reduce the fever.

A hot infusion of marigold was used to induce perspiration and bring out the eruption in measles to speed recovery. Yarrow taken internally was also thought to bring out the spots and speed recovery, as were marjoram and myrrh. A hot infusion of elderflowers was also used to achieve the same effect.
