Sun & Heat
Support for People, Animals and Plants
The more you shore up with ETS, the easier it will be on you, your animals, your gardens and plants, trees and shrubs when temps are high and the sun is bright. The added support of Climate Change Balancer can make all the difference, especially during a heat wave.
It's easy to underestimate the added challenge sun and heat exposure adds. Even cloudy days can bring overexposure to sun. You may not notice the effects until after the day is done. Make sure you know what to do with your ETS.
ETS for Humans
How often you will take ETS for Humans daily depends on your time outdoors and activity level.
If you spend most of a hot, sunny day indoors, in a cooler environment, and your outside exposure is limited to about 15-25 minutes a day: Take 1 dose* of ETS each evening.
(* 1 dose = a dropperful or 10-12 drops)
If you spend more than 30 minutes (at one time) in the sun, but don't exert yourself with more than a walk around the block or weeding a garden bed: Take 1 dose of ETS 3 to 4 times daily.
If you spend an extended amount of time outdoors, especially during the heat of the day, or if you are more vulnerable to sun and heat because of your age, medications or chemicals that cause sensitivity or for any other reason: Take 1 dose of ETS for Humans 4 to 6 times daily.
If the sun and heat are really getting to you: Take 1 dose of ETS every 5 minutes for 20 minutes. Then take ETS 3 times throughout the remainder of that day and 3 times daily for the next 2 days. Consider an ETS Bath or Spritz.
Get out of the sun as soon as you can, cool down and make sure you have plenty of fluids. Know the difference between heat stroke and heat exhaustion, and be prepared.
If summer really takes it out of you every year, set yourself up for a different experience with the comprehensive, personalized support of PIC List Testing for Seasonal Prep and Balance.
If you're an indoor-only-can't-stand-the-heat kind of person: We continue to recommend everyone take ETS for Humans twice daily or more often as needed. It will help you to think and take steps forward as you pay attention and respond to what's happening in the world. And for anyone who has been knocked off kilter by recent shocking events, or the accumulation of shocks and heartache, or if you are struggling just to make it through the day: Take ETS 3-5 times daily.
If you're already taking ETS for Humans on a daily basis, you can count your normal daily doses as part of the recommended doses above for sun and heat. But if you're especially vulnerable to sun and heat, increase your daily doses as needed. Also, it won't do any harm to take more than 5-6 doses of ETS in a day when the circumstance calls for it. And you don't have to focus on the reason you're taking it. ETS for Humans will address and support the body's circuits no matter what has stressed them.
Not Just for Sun and Heat: ETS for Humans is your go-to for any emergency, for support during prolonged difficulty or recovery, for any unexpected blow to your well-being . . . heck, even the knocks and thwacks that you were expecting. It provides support for dealing with it and getting on with this business of living. Here are 20 moments you'd be wise to have ETS for Humans with you — the summertime edition.
ETS for Animals
If your animal is not a hot-weather creature and generally suffers on hot, sunny days, give them one dose* of ETS for Animals once daily in the evening throughout the heat wave.
(* 1 dose = a dropperful or 10-12 drops)
And if they're having a particularly hard time, give them one dose of ETS for Animals twice daily for two days.

Animals exhibit different signs of heat stress than humans and require a different approach to staying cool. Here's what you should know to keep pets safe in the heat.
ETS for Plants
You may water or foliar feed (spray) your plants with an ETS for Plants solution once weekly throughout the hot period.
Use 25 drops of ETS for Plants per gallon of plain water for root watering or foliar feeding. Do not mix with fertilizer. Do this early in the morning or late in the day, not in the mid-day heat.
See the Brochure for more details on dosage ratios and the steps for applying ETS for Plants to fields and crops using the N.S. Application.

Climate Change Balancer
Take one dose (12 drops) of Climate Change Balancer daily for overall support.
When you learn that temperatures in your area are about to spike, or if you somehow missed the weather alerts but you can't help but feel a bit slow-roasted when you go outside, switch to twice daily doses for yourself right away.
During the time you're taking twice-daily doses, give your dog or cat (or horse or other companion animals) twice-daily doses as well. For animals each dose is 6 drops orally.

PIC Suggestion: Season Prep & Balance
If summer weather is not your favorite time of year and the heat, bugs, sweat, long days with just too much sunshine annoy you, and you tend to sit around a lot with no energy waiting for the season to end, try setting up a PIC List Test with "Summer Season Prep and Balance" as your focus.
You'll be surprised at the test results and you'll see that your feelings and reactions to the season were due to something bigger going on. The testing may be done any time during the season. This would be especially helpful for those who have a high degree of difficulty with the challenges summer bring on. Also, if you're fine in summer but the autumn winds or winter cold are unusually challenging for you, this PIC List Test can be done with any season as the focus.
