Some tips for us Brits in staying cool!
- If you can, get yourself out into some woods. The temp will be lower anywhere between 5-7 degrees C.
- If you can’t get into some woods, get a bowl of cold water and add a single drop of either Eucalyptus, Peppermint or Spearmint to it. Eucalyptus in particular will draw the heat in your body downwards. Contraindications: Eucalyptus: Pregnancy during first trimester., cancer, high blood pressure, epilepsy, taking homeopathic remedies. Not to be used on children under the age of 6 years. Peppermint: Pregnancy, epilepsy, possible skin irritant, heart disease, taking homeopathy remedies, fever, Petit Mal, Neurasthenia. Avoid Peppermint in cardiac fibrillation and fever. Being hot is not the same as running a fever. Spearmint: Might neutralise homeopathic remedies if used within 20 minutes of taking a homeopathic remedy. Other than this caution, Spearmint is pretty much a safe oil.
- I never wear sunglasses. Why? Because your eyes play a part in sending signals to your brain to produce melanin, including your hair, eyelashes and the fine hair on your body. If you cover your eyes, your brain doesn’t respond and reduces the melanin you need to stop you burning. Second, it will make your brain (pineal gland) produce melatonin, the sleepy hormone, as it thinks it’s nighttime. So it’s not just the heat that can make you tired, you are also whacking out your endocrine system and it thinks it’s time for bed!
- Oh, and cucumber hydrosol! Spray it on your face, back of your neck and into your armpits and behind your knees. Wonderfully refreshing and cooling!
- One last thing more for the ladies. Put on a lose dress and get your knickers off! Go commando! You’ll be surprised how much cooler you are. 😂
