Heatstroke

Understanding Heatstroke
Heatstroke is a serious condition that occurs when the body overheats and can't regulate its temperature properly. While it can be life-threatening, there are many ways to prevent it and manage the symptoms with proper medical care.

- Nausea and vomiting with possible seizures
- Hot, dry skin or excessive sweating

How Homoeopathy Can Help
Homoeopathy views heatstroke as a symptom that reflects your unique constitutional state and response to extreme heat exposure. We look at your specific symptoms, what makes them better or worse, and your overall health picture.
During a consultation, we explore your complete health story, including your heat tolerance, hydration patterns, and how heatstroke affects your daily life. The goal is to address the underlying factors that contribute to your symptoms and support your body's natural temperature regulation.
