Homeopathy Tips

• Belladonna
#1 for Heat

• #33 Headaches
First sign of trouble

• Cell salts
Before to prepare
After to recover

Rule #1: Carry Belladonna in your pocket!
Flushed faces, sudden spikes in temperature, throbbing pain, dilated pupils, dizziness... Belladonna’s relief reads like a case of heat exposure.

#2: Carry #33 Headaches. Headaches are often the first indismissable sign of too much heat.

#3: Cell Salts Before: Prepare your cells with the cell salts. The more well-nourished your cells, the less susceptible you will be to strain.

#4: Recovery is faster with cell salts.
Bioplasma and Tonic Tissue E offer well-rounded cell salt support for vitality and repair.

More Options:

• Ferrum phos - If not so flushed as Bella but fear you’ve pushed yourself to the limit, this anti-inflammatory cell salt, can be very restorative.
• Mag phos - A must at first sign of leg cramps.
• #7 Fever - If it needs cooling, homeopathy doesn’t care whether the heat comes from an internal problem or the sun outside.

And the Heat!

In case you forget your sunscreen, we have some helpful hints for sunburns, too.

First Aid Tips

Signs of Trouble:

• pale or flushed face

• headache

• muscle cramps

• sweating heavily

• general weakness

• dizziness, nausea

Rule #1: As soon as your face flushes or your head starts to throb, find the coolest, least humid environment. If air conditioning or indoor shelter are too far away, shade with a newspaper.

#2 Lie down with feet up and loosen tight clothes.

#3 Get wet - bathe or wet clothing or apply a wet towel or sheet to skin

#4 If not too nauseous, drink tepid water perhaps with a pinch of salt or a pretzel or cracker. Iced drinks can cause stomach cramps so tepid is preferred. Electrolyte drinks are great but sugar is not, so try to balance the benefits. Avoid alcohol and sugar-rich drinks.

#5 Consult a practitioner ASAP

Hint: Acclimate yourself to the heat. Avoid a full day in the heat and sun until you have worked up to it -- starting as low as 5 minutes a day. So if your child just signed up for little league, spend a few weeks getting both of you prepped to take the heat.
