Summer has definitely arrived. And though it is a wonderful time of the year for hot weather activities, heat exhaustion from over-exposure can suck all the energy and enthusiasm right out of you. The loss of essential body fluids and minerals brought on by excessive sweating or alcohol consumption can bring on a host of unpleasant symptoms. Such as: extreme tiredness and malaise, clamminess of the skin, headache, paleness of the face and muscle cramps. Even nausea, vomiting or dizziness may accompany victims of heat exhaustion.

The homeopathic remedy Veratrum Album 30c taken every 20-30 minutes for a few doses can help in restoring one’s health. Please also be sure to rehydrate by sipping water with electrolytes. Cold compresses applied to the head and body also aide the recovery process.

Drastic drops in blood pressure with accelerated breathing and faintness are critical signs that should be brought to the attention of a health care professional as soon as possible. Please also note, sunstroke can be a life threatening condition and should always be treated by a health care professional.

For those who find that they are too susceptible heat related problems, or feel they have some underlying weakness which predisposes them to succumb to heat exhaustion, there is a more holistic homeopathic "constitutional" approach. This more comprehensive approach strives to get to the basic underlying disorder, and permanently remove the fundamental imbalance from where these recurrent episodes stem.
