To keep your body cool in summer, wet the pulse point near the wrist joint with cold water & hold an ice cube wrapped in a clean cloth to keep the spot cool.

Studies show that this will reduce your core body temperature by as much as 3 degree F (1.5 degree C). One can feel the relief immediately, which will at least last for an hour or so. You can also wet other major pulse points (such as armpits, elbows, neck, behind the knees) to keep your body cool.

Extra care should be taken while using ice, because the ice on the raw skin could hurt you. Instead, it should be wrapped in a cloth before exposing it to the skin.
