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.

What You Might Experience

Living with heatstroke can present various challenges:

  • High body temperature above 104°F (40°C)
  • Confusion and altered mental state
  • Rapid heartbeat and breathing
  • Nausea and vomiting with possible seizures
  • Hot, dry skin or excessive sweating
  • Headache and dizziness
  • Loss of consciousness in severe cases

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.

Every person's experience with heatstroke is unique. Here are some approaches that may be considered based on individual symptoms:

Belladonna

For heatstroke with sudden onset, high fever, flushed face, and intense symptoms.
