To reduce body heat immediately, you can follow these effective methods:
- Apply cold compresses to strategic points where veins are close to the skin, such as the wrists, neck, chest, and temples. This cools the blood flowing through these veins and quickly lowers body temperature
- Take a cool shower or bath to rapidly reduce skin and body temperature. Adding peppermint essential oil can enhance the cooling effect
- Soak your feet in cold water with ice cubes for 10-20 minutes. The feet have many blood vessels, and cooling them helps lower overall body heat
- Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, as dehydration raises body temperature. Cooling beverages like coconut water, lemon water, buttermilk, or iced tea also help
- Consume cooling foods such as watermelon, cucumber, oranges, and yogurt, which have high water content and help reduce internal heat
- Use peppermint in drinks or apply peppermint water during bathing for its natural cooling properties
- Wear loose, breathable clothing and stay in shaded or air-conditioned areas to avoid further heat exposure
These methods provide quick relief from excess body heat and help maintain a normal temperature, especially during hot weather or heat stress
