Cool Water
Cool water helps reduce body heat. It also helps the body recover quickly from the side effects of high temperature.
As soon as you notice an increase in body temperature, drink a tall glass of cool water. Then, sip some cool water every 15 minutes. This will help prevent dehydration, which can worsen your condition.
Another option is to add ice cubes to a foot tub filled with cool water. Immerse your feet in the bucket for 15 to 20 minutes.

Coconut Water
Coconut water is another effective remedy to help treat heat exhaustion. Its electrolyte composition is excellent for rehydrating the body. Plus, it is loaded with nutrients that help lift your energy.
Drink a glass of tender coconut water a few times daily.
Lemon
Regular use of lemon can keep the body cool and prevent heat-related illnesses. The high vitamin C in lemon can help lower body temperature. It also hydrates and oxygenates the body to keep you feeling energized and refreshed during the hot summer days.
Squeeze the juice from ½ lemon into a glass of water.
Add 1 teaspoon of honey and a pinch of salt to it.
Drink about 3 glasses of this refreshing drink a day.
Peppermint
Peppermint has a soothing and cooling effect. Thus, it is an effective remedy to help reduce body heat.
Simmer a few ounces of fresh peppermint leaves in a pot of boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain out the leaves and allow the water to cool.
