Hello Mylotters, i can't bear summer heats. I get terrible allergies, sun burns, sun strokes, and the most of all my nose bleeds every times. My body gets heated up from inside is there any way or any home remedy which i can use to cool down my body in summer and not feel extremely hot?

Hi ArchieO. You must have heard of the cliche "cool as a cucumber". It is so because the cucumber has a cooling properties and cooling effects on the body. Someone also told me that the cucumber is able to keep its temperature lower than its surroundings. You can combine 2 cups of seeded watermelon and a cup of cucumber and process in a blender until smooth. Pour it over a strainer into a bowl or pitcher. Serve it with lots of ice and you've got a really refreshing and healthy drink. You can search the internet for more summer coolers that use include cucumber in the recipe.

Perhaps you can have some red bean soup, green tea or lemonade. They are able to cool you down quite a bit yet nutritious and healthy.

From what I got to read in some of the articles on net and Offline, you can do the following: 1)Drink a lot of water. 2)Have cucumber, either raw or as juice. 3)Have lemonade, or Shorbet(I am not sure how they are available outside India), alongwith lemon. 4)Have fruits like Watermelon and Papaya. 5)Avoid too much of Coffee or Tea.

Thanks for this discussion I too feel hot not only in summer even during winter, i never use blanket in winder nights, my air conditioner is always set at 18C , also ceiling fans run, doctors are unable to trace out any possible reason for this. I think you should drink plenty of water, eat water melon, cucumber and lemon

Hi Professor i remember this was a problem with one of my friends parents. Why don't you try drinking water from a copper vessel? keep water overnight in a copper vessel and every morning before brushing drink this water(let the natural oil formation remain on it) I am trying this now days, trust me it is working wonders on me. I think you should try this. This is a age old tradition followed in my family but i started following it now.
