Beat the Heat: 7 Traditional Ways to Keep Your Room Cool Without AC

• Optimize window and door usage: open in mornings/nights for cool air, close during peak sun.
• Install thick or blackout curtains to block direct sunlight and heat, preferably light-colored ones.
• Place a bowl of cold water or ice in front of a fan to circulate cooler air.
• Mop floors daily with cold water to reduce room temperature and refresh the atmosphere.
• Minimize use of heat-generating electronics; turn them off when not in use.
• Grow plants like Money Plant, Aloe Vera, or Tulsi to naturally cool and purify the air.
• Use cotton bedsheets and light clothing to absorb sweat and keep cool.
