It's July in New Hampshire and feeling like the oppressive days of August. You can cut the humidity with a knife and it is HOT. Now, New Englanders complain about weather all the time. It's too hot, too cold, too much snow, too much rain, not enough rain... It's kind of funny and we do laugh at ourselves.
Hot weather and temperatures in the 90s is no joke. It affects the body tremendously and can cause serious health concerns. Some people are more vulnerable to the heat than others and need to be even more cautious.
Symptoms to be aware of:
Heat Exhaustion Symptoms:
- Felling faint, dizzy
- Increased sweating
- Cool, pale skin
- Nausea/vomiting
- Rapid, weak pulse
- Muscle cramps
Heat Stroke Symptoms
- Throbbing headache
- No sweating
- Body temperature above 104 degrees
- Red, hot, dry skin
- Nausea/vomiting
- Rapid, strong pulse
- Altered mental state
- Possible loss of consciousness
The flower essence I recommend for dealing with the heat is the Australian Bush Flower essence - Mulla Mulla. I just ordered another stock bottle at
www.southernherb.com because I don't want to run out.
This plant grows in the desert of central Australia which is the hottest part of the continent. Ian White says, "This plant prefers the rocky, loamy soil of hot, arid regions. The greater the heat, the better it seems to thrive."
