The Fiery Grasp of Indian Summers
As the mercury rises, Indian summers bring with them a host of health concerns. From heatstroke to stomach ailments, the blistering heat takes a toll on people of all ages. The dry air, soaring temperatures, and poor hydration habits make our bodies vulnerable to breakdowns.

Heat Stroke: The Silent Killer
One of the most dangerous conditions during summer is heat stroke. It strikes when the body is unable to regulate its temperature, often leading to unconsciousness, seizures, or even death. People working outdoors, such as laborers and street vendors, are especially vulnerable.

Stomach Woes: Loose Motion, Vomiting & Diarrhoea
Food and water contamination increases in summer. Heat accelerates bacterial growth in cooked food, while unfiltered or stagnant water becomes a hotspot for pathogens. The result? Diarrhoea, vomiting, and severe dehydration — especially dangerous for children and the elderly.
Home remedies like ORS, banana, curd, and ginger tea provide effective relief.
Precautions: Prevention is Better Than Cure
- Stay indoors during peak hours (12–4 PM)
- Wear loose, cotton clothing
- Drink filtered or boiled water only
- Wash hands regularly and maintain hygiene
- Avoid spicy, oily, and uncovered street food
Clean water and hygiene are the first steps toward prevention.
Home Remedies to the Rescue
Traditional remedies like lemon water with salt and sugar, ginger tea, cumin water, and curd rice can work wonders. These not only hydrate but also help balance your gut health.
