Thermal Effects (Hot & Cold) of Substances

Opening Thoughts

Every substance brings an inherent thermal nature, hot, warm, neutral, cool, or cold, that affects how it interacts with the body. At SAQEEZ, we harness this knowledge to match herbal formulations to your body's needs and the season.

Understanding Thermal Natures

This concept is rooted in Traditional Medicine:

• Cold/Cooling herbs relieve heat, inflammation, and fever.
• Hot/Warming herbs stimulate circulation and combat chill.
• Neutral herbs offer balancing action regardless of conditions (allure.com, gq.com, itmonline.org).

Scientific Backing

• Herbs categorized as "hot" often trigger pro-inflammatory and immune pathways; "cold" ones affect metabolism, growth, and cellular functions (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).
• Thermal changes during processing (like heating essential oils) significantly shift composition and potency (nature.com).

SAQEEZ’s Thermal-Aligned Formulas

• Cooling Mint & Aloe Toner: In Pakistan’s scorching summers, this light, cold-temperature blend calms sunburn and inflammation
• Warming Mustard Oil & Sesame Oil: In winter, this hot-natured blend boosts circulation and protects skin from dryness and cold.
• Spring and Autumn mild Seasons: We use Gentle and balancing ingredients, suitable in these seasons for sensitive or recovering skin.

Practical Examples

• Summer (Jun–Sep): Use Cooling Mint & Aloe Toner; its thermal-cooling nature soothes heat rash and hydrates without heaviness.
• Winter (Dec–Feb): Apply the Mustard & Sesame Oil before moisturizer; its warmth improves blood flow and skin resilience.
• Monsoon (Jul–Sep): Our Herbal Blend guards against humidity-induced sensitivities without shifting thermal balance.

SAQEEZ’s Commitment

• Ingredient Profiling: We thermo-profile herbs during extraction to preserve the intended thermal effect.
• Seasonal Pairings: Each product is labeled with seasonal cues, so you use the right formula at the right time.
• Research & Education: Our website and Social Media Platforms teach the logic behind hot/cold designations so you can use them confidently.

Takeaways for Customers

• Heat symptoms? Find cooling formulas (sunburn, redness, heat rash).
• Cold symptoms? Seek warming blends (paleness, tight skin, sluggish circulation).
• Neutral for balance, especially if you are unsure or transitioning between seasons.

Final Words

By aligning your herbal routine with thermal effects and seasonality, SAQEEZ ensures every product supports your body’s natural state. This holistic approach transforms herbal wellness into a lifestyle, not just a purchase.
