SUN-STROKE and Other Ailments of Summer Season – Their Treatment by Homoeopathic Remedies
Identification: Sun-Stroke is identified as an attack due to hot rays of sun, hot waves and the temperature of the body may raise to such an extent that it may record 106^o or even more. This condition may lead to a fatal state and in certain cases there is no time for first aid also. For better understanding, I am here in producing the definition from the works of Dr. Harris Ruddoc, M.D.
“ A paralysis of all the functions of the brain, occurring either gradually of suddenly, excited by heat, sometimes following exposure to the direct rays of the sun, particularly when heat is added to the pressure of tight and unsuitable clothing.”
In case of or heart attack, the patient can at least express at least by signals that he is suffering from cardiac pain or congestion, etc. In some cases symptoms like sweating, frequent attacks of cardiac pain, cardiac asthma may present giving a chance for first aid and to admit the patient into the hospital. However, in case of sun-stroke, the hot rays of the sun and heat waves affect the brain causing paralysis of the brain which is fatal. In medical science the sun-stroke is considered more dangerous than heart disease. Hence certain safety measures are suggested to be followed as a precautionary measure and during the attack.
PRECAUTIONS
1.       In summers while going out in the day-time, it is advisable to wear hats or at least cover with a thick cloth.
2.       It is advisable not to take cold water immediately on entering the house from outside.
3.       During summers, taking 2 tablets of Natrium Mur. 12 X three times a day during the daytime is beneficial.
4.       Instead of taking cold drinks take limewater or lime mixed in buttermilk.
5.       Sun allergy Persons prone to sun allergy are advised to take Natrium mur 6X tablets, four times a day daily.
REMEDIES SUGGESTED FOR SUNSTROKE
1.       Natrium mur. 200 pills.
2.       Glonoinum  200.
3.       Belladonna 200.
4.       Gelsemium 200.
5.       Cactus 200 ( suggested to take after relief from the stroke for three to four days).
OTHER AILMENTS OF SUMMER SEASON
Besides sun-stroke there are other ailments rash, summer diarrhea, etc. which are common in the summer season.
Summer boils: This is very common especially in children. In most cases, I recommend Bryonia 200. If no relief follow with Phytolacca 200 or Cedron as per the condition of the body or summer boils.
Measles: Generally teenaged children are affected during the summer and this may be fever. If the same appears in a grown-up or aged person it may be fatal also. I used to recommend only Anitmonium tart. 200 for three days as a precautionary in water doses every 10 minutes, till relief and continue for two or three days after relief and continue for two or three days after relief with one dose per day. In case of chicken pox the same drug is recommended in the same procedure.
Summer diarrhea: My specific recommendation is Bryonia 200 in water doses with Aloe as an intermittent.
