Heat stroke is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. While home remedies can help alleviate some symptoms, they should not replace professional medical treatment. Here are some home remedies that may offer temporary relief:
Submerge yourself or the person experiencing heat stroke in a cool bath or shower, or apply cool, damp cloths to the skin. This helps lower body temperature.
Drink plenty of fluids, preferably water or electrolyte-rich beverages like sports drinks, to replace lost fluids and electrolytes.
Move to an air-conditioned room or a shaded area with a fan to rest and cool down.
Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing to allow for better air circulation and aid in cooling.
Consume water-rich fruits and vegetables like watermelon, cucumber, and oranges to help rehydrate the body.
In addition to water, consume foods or drinks that contain electrolytes, such as coconut water or diluted fruit juices, to replenish electrolyte levels.
These beverages can contribute to dehydration and should be avoided during recovery from heat stroke.
Consume foods with cooling properties, such as mint, cucumber, and yogurt, which may help lower body temperature.
