Folk Remedies for Heat

Due to the greenhouse effect, each year, especially in summer, is warmer. So many people, especially those who come to the beaches or exercise outdoors are exposed to excessive heat and run the risk of a prostration or exhaustion caused by heat.

Usually heat prostration due to the lack of fluid in the body or loss which causes dehydration.

Overall, the characteristic symptoms of heat exhaustion are:

  • Thirst
  • Loss of appetite
  • Headache
  • Pallor
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Dry skin
  • Vomiting
  • Fatigue or propensity to faint
  • Blurred vision
  • Shallow

If additional external excessive heat exposure a person has internal heat generated by the performance of physical activity, eg, running, can develop a heat shock or life-threatening heatstroke.

Diabetics, the elderly, children, obese people who take beta blockers, medicines for hypertension, diuretics or tranquilizers are at higher risk of heat related problems.


Folk Remedies

  1. Remedy for the heat # 1: Chewing honeycomb or occasionally biting a piece of granulated honey wrapped in gauze and placed inside the cheek like chewing snuff is a remedy to cool the body.
  2. Remedy for heat # 2. Boil for 5 minutes, two tablespoons of peppermint in a cup of water. Remove from heat, let cool and place in refrigerator for several minutes. When you feel good, fresh, take a sip this brew every 15 minutes for 1 hour.
  3. Remedy for the heat # 3: Apply cloths wet with cold water or ice packs to the neck, armpits and groin.
  4. Remedy for the heat # 4: Take a bath with fresh water.
  5. Remedy for the heat # 5: Take green coconut water or pipe which cools the body and kidneys.
  6. Remedy for the heat # 6: Refresh your skin with a cloth soaked in rubbing alcohol.
  7. Remedy for the heat # 7: Boil for 15 minutes 3 tablespoons barley in1 liter of water. Remove from heat and let cool. A cup of this drink every half hour.


Tips for preventing heat problems

  • Avoid direct exposure to the sun especially between 9:30 am and 4:00 p.m.
  • Avoid physical exertion during the hottest part of the day especially if the air is humid.
  • Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day and especially before exposure to heat.
  • Do not drink alcohol or caffeine, because the rapid metabolism of alcohol raises body temperature while caffeine is a mild diuretic which accelerates dehydration.
  • No smoking. The snuff constricts blood vessels and impairs the smoker's ability to acclimate to heat.
  • Use a paper, napkin or whatever is at hand to fan herself.
  • Wear a hat. Preferably, if it also protects the neck and is well ventilated. For example, a wide-brimmed hat with many holes would be a good choice. This recommendation is based on the fact that blood vessels of the head and neck are very close to the surface of the skin, so that in that area tend to gain or lose heat rapidly. If you want even more cooling, you can put a wet handkerchief under his hat.
  • Wearing clothing which is woven of cotton and polyester for shirts breathes better than cotton or nylon tightly woven pure.
  • Use light colors, because they reflect heat while dark absorb it.
  • Always wear a shirt, because if not used more is exposed to radiation from the sun.
  • Eat more fruits and vegetables because they contain relatively large amounts of water and a good balance of salt.


Recommendations if you suffer from heat exhaustion

  • Relax in a cool while sipping 1 / 2 cup of cool water every 15 minutes during an hour. The recovery increases if you add tomato juice.
  • Medical assistance if symptoms of heat exhaustion worse or last more than an hour.
