To cool down your body, several methods can be employed effectively.

  • Take a Bath or Sponge Bath: A bath with cool water is a direct way to reduce your body heat. Alternatively, sponging yourself off with cold water can also help. Interestingly, even warm water can aid in cooling, as the body cools down when the water evaporates from the skin and hair. However, avoid creating excessive steam in the bathroom.
