Sadhguru recently shared a summer remedy<\/a><\/strong> to bring down excess heat in the body. \u201cHow do you know excessive heat is\u2026you will notice your eyeballs are hot, or you want to go and pee\u2026It\u2019s full, but it won\u2019t come out\u2026it hurts. That means there is excess heat. If such a thing happens, you drink some ash gourd juice, eat some green gram, or take some castor oil and apply it to your navel or behind your ears. Instantly, within five minutes, the system will cool down. It\u2019s as simple as that,\u201d he said in a video post on Instagram.<\/p>\n

To verify, we reached out to Dt Amreen Sheikh, chief dietitian, KIMS Hospitals, Thane, who elaborated that by \u2018body heat\u2019, one is most likely referring to dehydration, acidity, or the body\u2019s response to high temperatures. \u201cIn summer, the body loses fluids and electrolytes faster. This can lead to fatigue, irritability, and digestive discomfort<\/a><\/strong>. So, the goal isn\u2019t to cool the body in a literal sense, but to support hydration, maintain electrolyte balance, and ease digestion,\u201d said Sheikh.<\/p>\n

While traditional remedies like ash gourd juice or green gram are nutritious and can support hydration, claims of instant \u2018cooling\u2019 within minutes should be viewed with caution, emphasised Sheikh. \u201cThe body regulates temperature through complex physiological mechanisms, not quick topical fixes. Applying substances such as castor oil to the navel or behind the ears has no proven scientific basis for reducing body heat. Instead, consistent hydration, balanced meals, and electrolyte support remain the most reliable ways to help the body cope with heat.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, many other practices like increasing water intake, eating seasonal fruits, or avoiding overly spicy and fried foods do have a scientific basis. According to Sheikh, foods like watermelon, cucumber, and coconut water help replenish fluids. However, it\u2019s important not to overgeneralize. What works for one person may not suit another, especially those with conditions like diabetes or kidney issues.<\/p>\n

Focus on simple, water-rich foods. \u201cInclude buttermilk, lemon water, and fresh fruits in your routine. Light meals are easier to digest, so think dal, rice, and vegetables instead of heavy, oily dishes. Also, spacing meals and avoiding long gaps can help prevent acidity, which many people mistake for body heat,\u201d said Sheikh.<\/p>\n

Myths to be wary of<\/strong><\/p>\n

One common myth is that extremely cold drinks or ice-heavy foods cool the body effectively. \u201cIn reality, they can sometimes disrupt digestion<\/a><\/strong> and cause throat irritation. Another is relying on a single \u2018superfood\u2019 to fix everything. Balance and consistency matter far more than quick fixes,\u201d said Sheikh.<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

What to note?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Listen to your body. Stay hydrated, eat seasonal and local foods, and don\u2019t ignore signs like dizziness or fatigue. \u201cSmall, mindful choices go a long way in staying comfortable and healthy during the heat.\u201d<\/p>\n
