Hold your breath, and slowly exhale through your nose. Repeat five to ten times.\n</p><h4>2. Keep your Cool with Peppermint Tea\n</h4><p>Brew a pot of peppermint tea, then stick it in the fridge. Once it\u2019s nice and cold, you pour some into a spray bottle and misting yourself with it. The menthol in the tea has cooling properties and will give your skin a tingly feeling.\n</p><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-3855 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/1Keep-your-Cool-with-Peppermint-Tea-1024x683.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"683\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/lorevista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1Keep-your-Cool-with-Peppermint-Tea-1024x683.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><h4>3. Switch in Some LED lights\n</h4><p>The inside of your home can get steamy on hot days. Another way to beat the heat is to reconsider your lighting. Switch in some LED bulbs. They\u2019re known to produce less heat than regular light bulbs. A simple change can make a big difference if you\u2019ve got lots of lamps and lights in your homes.\n</p><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-3858 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/1Switch-in-Some-LED-lights-1024x683.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"683\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/lorevista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1Switch-in-Some-LED-lights-1024x683.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><h4>4. Create Your Own Air Conditioning\n</h4><p>Freeze a couple of water bottles and place them in front of a floor or desk fan, and you\u2019ll enjoy a much cooler breeze with your makeshift air-conditioner. A bowl of ice water will also do the trick. This is how to make your makeup last in the summer heat.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-3853 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/1Create-Your-Own-Air-Conditioning-1024x576.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"576\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/lorevista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1Create-Your-Own-Air-Conditioning-1024x576.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><h4>5. Eat some Spicy Food\n</h4><p>If you\u2019re already sweating, why would you want to sweat more? Eating spicy food increases blood circulation and makes you sweat, so you\u2019ll feel cooler as the sweat dries. The capsaicin in hot peppers encourages your body to sweat more without raising your body temperature.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-3854 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/1Eat-some-Spicy-Food-1024x683.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"683\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/lorevista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1Eat-some-Spicy-Food-1024x683.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><h4>6. Make Your Own Ice Packs\n</h4><p>No ice packs in the freezer? Make your own. Take one or two cups of rice, place them inside a cotton sock, and pop it in the freezer. After a few hours, you\u2019ll have your own ice pack. This is the real reason summer heat makes us so grumpy.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-3856 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/1Make-Your-Own-Ice-Packs.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"767\"' height='\"433\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/lorevista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1Make-Your-Own-Ice-Packs.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><h4>7. Use Ice Packs on Pressure Points\n</h4><p>Placing something cold on your pressure points is another effective way of reducing heat. Pressure or pulse points are the sensitive areas on our bodies where you can feel the pulse: our neck, wrists, the area around our temple. When you apply ice packs to pulse points, your brain quickly gets the signal that you\u2019re cool and starts lowering body temperature.\n</p><h4>8. Apply Aloe Vera\n</h4><p>You know aloe vera is one of the ways to naturally soothe sunburn. Well, its cooling properties also work to help you beat the heat. Just apply some aloe vera gel to your pulse points and your brain will get the message to lower your body temperature.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-3851 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/1Apply-Aloe-Vera-1024x538.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"538\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/lorevista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1Apply-Aloe-Vera-1024x538.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><h4>9. Sleep on Ice-cold Sheets\n</h4><p>Chill your bed by folding sheets and pillowcases, placing them in plastic bags, and sticking them in the freezer for a few hours. You can also freeze your pajamas! Then make up the bed just before you go to sleep for sweet (and cool) dreams.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-3857 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/1Sleep-on-Ice-cold-Sheets.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"750\"' height='\"400\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/lorevista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1Sleep-on-Ice-cold-Sheets.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><h4>10. Chill Your Mattress\n</h4><p>Put soft gel ice packs on top of the mattress and underneath the sheets; try under your legs, neck, or lower back for maximum comfort. Remember that ice pack you made? You can also freeze a cotton sock filled with rice, then slipping it between the sheets. The rice will hold a chill longer.\n</p><h4>11. Get a Buckwheat Pillow\n</h4><p>Your bed sheets aren\u2019t made for every season and maybe retaining unnecessary heat while you sleep. Switch your regular pillow for a buckwheat pillow that won\u2019t hold on to your body heat and will keep you cool through the night.\n</p><h4>12. Take a Cool Shower\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-3859 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/1Take-a-Cool-Shower.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"683\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/lorevista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1Take-a-Cool-Shower.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>When all else fails, take frequent cool showers to keep your body temperature down and rinse off the sweat.
