Now days the HEAT is booming up. We must take some good care of ourselves to avoid SUNSTROKES which are most common. Remember, the humidity had decreased a lot, so Sweating will not be there to cool the body, especially skin. Just stand out in sun just for 2 minutes any time between 2 to 4. You will feel that you are standing very close to the fire. That’s Sunburn.
For many, they can avoid simply by not getting out, especially in these 2/3 hrs time. But for some, this is simply unavoidable. Following points may help you in fighting with Sunstrokes.
1. Use Sunglasses, Goggles.
2. Use Hat. For ladies, do not hesitate but use Umbrella.
3. Increase the fluid intake.( But avoid the Ice as Ice is HOT Internally.)
4. Early morning, try to drink as much water as you can. A healthy person should drink at list a liter and half of water every morning.
5. Apply moisturizing creams or even oil to the expose skin part before moving out.
6. Take meals at regular timings.
7. Try to have salads in Lunch. ( mainly onions and cucumbers)
8. Keeping a quarter of a lemon in mouth while roaming out in sun will protect you from the sunstrokes.(This can be compensated to some extent by keeping Sugar, candy too..)
9. Try to have a table spoon of Gulkand each day, especially after Lunch.
10. Have a Chaas at least 3/4 times a week.
11. Try to walk barefooted on Grass ( I know it sounds tough, specially for Mumbains) in the evening at lease for 10 minutes.
12. While sleeping in night, try to massage the foot with coconut oil for 5/10 minutes.
13. For the benefit of whole family, try to put a Khus (Walo) Bundle in the earthen pot and drink THAT WATER ONLY. (Just change the Khus bundle once in a week.)
14. Once a week at least, put the soft cotton pads soaked in ether rose water or cool milk on the eyes. Keep the pads for at least 10 minutes.
15. Try to have small tea spoon full Tulasi seeds soaked in water once a week. If not possible, try to have a single Tulasi leaf daily.
