What is heat stroke?

Heat stroke is manifested by the increase in the body’s temperature, which no longer regulates normally at 37 ° C and can reach over 40 ° C in a quarter of an hour. Without immediate action, the rise in body temperature greatly endangers vital organs but can also cause death.

People at risk are those who expose themselves to the sun for too long or whose profession, which can be physically demanding, leads them to work outdoors.

Heat stroke, what are the symptoms?

We can recognize the warning signs of heat stroke to better prevent or treat them. Significant heat-related weakening is highly likely to develop into true heat stroke. This weakening can be defined by excessive sweating, muscle pain, headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, disturbance, fainting.

The skin can, paradoxically, be cold and damp, or redden and hot. There is also an increased heart rate and respiratory rate.

To treat a slight heat stroke, there is a homeopathic remedy: Glonoïum. For a dilution of 7CH, we recommend taking 3 granules, 3 times a day.

In the event of severe heatstroke, emergency services must be alerted immediately.

The best solution is to avoid heat stroke by preventing it, which is why it is better not to, or limit exposure to the sun as much as possible. It is important to stay hydrated throughout the day and not wait until you are thirsty. Thirst is a sign of dehydration.
