Staying at home and resting is one of the best ways to fight measles. Sleep is an important part of rebuilding the immune system, which is needed to fight the virus. As measles will eventually affect the urinary tract and other vital body systems, it is important to drink lots of water, unsweetened coconut water, and herbal tea to flush toxins out of the body. Measles can cause sensitivity to light; therefore, resting with eyes closed in a dark room with electronically devices off may also help.

Turmeric is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory supplements on the market. It is also high in antiviral, antiseptic and antioxidant properties to help boost the immune system, neutralize free radical toxins, and speed up the healing process. Turmeric can be taken in tablet supplement form. Aim for eight hundred milligrams daily and be sure to look for a brand with at least ninety-five percent of the active compound curcuminoid and black pepper for absorption. Turmeric can also be added to soups, tea, and other hot, comforting dishes.
