- Dry completely and properly with a towel and then only start wearing the dresses.
- Better wear cotton dresses not too thick and with mild colours and also ensure that they are loose enough to permit ventilation inside the body. Do not wear jeans or leggings.
- Do not take children – from the infants to younger ones outside the house from 10.00 AM to 1.00 PM.
- The pregnant ladies also must avoid going out in this period.
- Take water-rich vegetables such as watermelons and cucumbers.
