There are plenty of ingenious ways to beat the summer heat and lower the temperature of your home without using an air conditioner. Living through a hot summer without AC seems impossible but, hey, our grandparents did it all the time.

1. WINDOW FILM :- Another cost-efficient way to beat the heat is to cover your windows with heat-deflecting window film.

2. WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING :- Loose-fitting clothing also increases air circulation over your skin, releasing trapped heat and helping sweat – your body’s natural cooling mechanism – to do its work.

3. FEEL THE FREEZER BURN :-  Stick sheets in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes before bed. We recommend placing them in a plastic bag first. it will provide a brief respite from heat and humidity.

4. USE A DAMP CLOTH :- You can also hang damp sheets in front of your open windows to cool down the summer breeze as it enters your home.

5. BE CREATIVE :- Point box fans out the windows so they push hot air out, and adjust ceiling fan settings pulling hot air up and out instead of just twirling it around the room.

6. OPT FOR COTTON :- Natural fibers like cotton allow air to circulate around the body while synthetics like polyester trap heat against skin.

7. SOAK YOUR FEET :- Again, because blood runs close to the skin’s surface around your feet and ankles, cooling off your tootsies is a great way to bring down your body temperature fast.

8. CHEW PEPPERMINT :- On a hot summer day, break off a leaf or two and chew them. The minty oils released from the crushed leaves will permeate your airways, offering a nice cooling effect with every breath you take.

9. MAKE COLD PACKS :- When you get overheated and need to cool off fast, it can be as easy as taking out one of these ready-made compresses, wrap it in a small towel to prevent freezing your skin, then lay the pack over pulse points in your neck.
