Gently combat the heat with herbs

With a cool head and light legs through the hot months!

Summer is the most beloved season for many. Sunbeams, the endless blue sky, and the light literally draw us outdoors. Exercise in the fresh air boosts our physical well-being and is a balm for our mental health. After the long winter and a chilly spring, we want to recharge our batteries outside and release plenty of endorphins. This year, there's another thing: given the coronavirus situation, we're looking forward to being able to see our relatives and friends more often outdoors.

Not everyone is coping well with the sudden heat or the generally higher temperatures. Climate change is causing an increase in hot days (over 30°C) and tropical nights (temperatures never dropping below 20°C at night).

Elderly people, young children, those with cardiovascular weakness, those with limited physical fitness, and those with chronic illnesses are particularly sensitive to heat. The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued health advice on the prevention of heat-related health problems. Heat can trigger exhaustion and heatstroke and aggravate existing conditions such as cardiovascular, respiratory, kidney, or mental health problems.

What happens in our body when it is hot?

The body reacts to heat by dilating blood vessels to prevent body temperature from rising above 37°C. This lowers blood pressure and causes blood to pool in the legs. This is accompanied by headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Dehydration aggravates the symptoms. Consumption of alcohol, cigarettes, coffee, and tea also promotes dilation of blood vessels.

As sweating begins, the body also loses important salts such as table salt, potassium, and magnesium. The lack of electrolytes can lead to cardiac arrhythmias and muscle pain.

And suddenly you spend your summer days feeling drained of energy.
