Nautapa | Symptoms & Precautions from Heat Stroke or Sunstroke

Nautapa starts every year in the summer season. This year, it starts from, 25th May, 2020. It is said that heat rises on the Earth in Nautapa. Let's know briefly about what is Nautapa and how we take precautions or safety measures from it.

What is Nautapa?

When the Sun comes in Rohini Nakshatra for 15 days, the first 9 days of those 15 days are the hottest. These first 9 days are known as Nautapa.

How we take Precautions or Safety Measures?

1. Drink more water than thirst, not less than 6 litres everyday.
2. Avoid drinking chilled or cold water immediately after coming from outside.

3. As far as possible, wear cotton and light shade dresses and avoid synthetic clothes.

4. While moving out into Sun, always cover the exposed area of the body, and avoid moving out between 10:00 am to 04:00 pm.

One of the most common problems associated with staying outdoors for too long is catching a Heat Stroke or Sunstroke. When your body is exposed to heat for a long time, it gets overheated leading to heat stroke. The normal body temperature is 37 degree Celsius and if it rises above 40 degree, it can damage your vital organs including your brain.

Symptoms of Heat Stroke:-

1. Throbbing Headache

2. Excessive Sweating and Dizziness

3. Nausea and Vomiting

4. Rashes and Red Skin

5. Muscle Weakness or Cramps

6. Palpitations

7. Increased Heart Rate

8. Rapid Breathing

9. Unconsciousness

Home Remedies for Heat Stroke to Beat the Heat and Feel Better

1. Onion 

This is one of the best remedies for treating a heat stroke. Make onion paste and apply it on the forehead of the person. Applying onion juice on the back of ears and chest, is also helpful in keeping the body temperature down. For therapeutic purposes, onion juice is more desirable, but you can roast some raw onions with cumin and honey and have it. Raw onions in chutneys or salads can also cool your body.

2. Aam Panna

Aam Panna or Raw Mango Juice is a great drink to relieve from heat stroke. Aam Panna is enriched with ingredients like cumin powder, mint leaves, sugar and kala namak which provides both energy and electrolytes. This drink should be consumed at least two times in a day.

3. Buttermilk

Buttermilk has natural supplements that can help to control your body temperature. It is a good source of probiotics and helps in replenishing your body temperature with essential minerals, vitamins and other nutrients lost due to excessive sweating.

4. Coconut Water

Coconut water works similar to Buttermilk. It helps replenish the lost electrolytes from the body, due to excessive sweating. Drinking coconut water 2 to 3 times a day not only keeps your body hydrated and body temperature down but also improves your skin quality.

5. Sandalwood Paste

Mix some sandalwood powder with water to form a paste and apply it on your forehead and chest. Its cooling properties will bring down your body temperature. Alternatively, massage some sandalwood oil on your forehead. You can also use the oil to soothe irritable skin.
