Heatstroke is one of the most common issues during the summer months.
It typically occurs due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures, dehydration, and excessive sweating.
Symptoms may include headache, fatigue, heart palpitations, dizziness, nausea, and an increase in body temperature.
In traditional medicine, using herbal distillates with a cooling nature is considered an effective way to prevent and alleviate these symptoms.
Chicory distillate (Aragh-e Kasni) is one of the most effective herbal remedies for reducing internal heat and purifying the blood.
With its cold and moist temperament, it supports liver function and helps balance internal body temperature.
Fumitory distillate (Aragh-e Shaterreh), often used alongside chicory, also has cooling properties and aids in detoxification and thermal regulation.
Other beneficial herbal distillates include Willow Catkin distillate (Aragh-e Bidmeshk), which not only helps cool the body but also strengthens the nervous system and reduces heat-induced heart palpitations.
Additionally, Tribulus (Aragh-e Khar Khasak) and Alhagi (Aragh-e Kharshatar) distillates are effective in reducing inflammation, promoting urination, and eliminating excess body heat.
Consuming these distillates cold and at proper intervals from meals—especially on hot days or during intense physical activity—can greatly help maintain body temperature balance and prevent heatstroke.
