🌿 Introduction: Why Monsoon Drains Your Energy

Ever felt like a zombie in summer? ☀️→🌧️ You're not alone.

Last monsoon, I collapsed mid-hike—dizzy, exhausted, despite sleeping 8 hours. Turns out, humidity + weak immunity = energy crash. Most "summer fatigue" advice misses monsoon-specific hacks—like how Tragacanth Gum (Gond Katira) cools the body or why basil seeds beat sports drinks for hydration.

This guide fixes that. No generic tips—just 7 weirdly effective, monsoon-tested tricks to stay sharp, energized, and dizziness-free.

(Fun fact: In Unani medicine, Gond Katira is called the "natural AC" for its intense cooling properties.)

⚡ The Hidden Causes of Summer Fatigue & Dizziness

Why does monsoon sap energy worse than heat?

  • 🔹 Humidity Overload: Sweat doesn't evaporate → body overheats → fatigue.
  • 🔹 Electrolyte Imbalance: Heavy sweating drains magnesium, potassium → dizziness (Source: NIH).
  • 🔹 Mold & Allergens: Humid air = more pathogens → immune system works overtime.
  • 🔹 Low Oxygen: High humidity = thinner oxygen → brain fog.

"Monsoon disrupts 'Agni' (digestive fire), causing toxin buildup. Cooling herbs like Gond Katira and basil seeds restore balance."

— Dr. Priya Sharma, Ayurvedic practitioner
