Homemade ORS
Hot weather increases the chances of dehydration. Drinking from a homemade bottle of ORS throughout the day can decrease the likelihood of dehydration. You can prep it by mixing 6 teaspoons of sugar and half a teaspoon of salt in plain water or rice water. It balances the electrolytes and water lost due to sweating in summer. This simple home remedy also comes in handy in case of non-availability of commercial sachets of ORS. However, caution is advised in preparation of the solution for children, as it requires different composition.
