They report seemingly mysterious fevers, headaches, nausea, diarrhoea, sweating, dizziness and a heaviness of the head (or the whole body). Some also have respiratory symptoms that seem like a cold or the flu, and many say that their symptoms occur randomly and are unexpected.

So what can you do naturally to help reduce the effects of the extreme weather on your body?
