2. Center of my head is hot, so I apply oil all the time.

You are suffering from heat exhaustion, which is common in summer season, caused due to salt and water depletion because of perspiration resulting in mild to moderate dehydration.
There is dryness of mouth, dryness of tongue, dryness of conjunctiva of the eyes this is the reason of your burning eyes.
Even headache is caused due to salt and water depletion.
Try to drink plenty of water, with salt, sugar, even lemon juice will be helpful.
Try to avoid going out in sunlight.

Well, for the pimples on your face I do use Panoxyl 5 cream(not the gel). My pimples have gone completely and trust me I am not kidding about it like any commercial ad.
Well, for the pimples on my head too, I have not found a remedy yet in spite of visiting a lot of doctors. But I will recommend an antibiotic named Cefadur-500. It works very well making all the boils on your head disappear but they return if u do not take care of your head.
Please check with your doctor before you try any of these though!

My husband is working in very hot and humid temperatures in a helicopter in the southeastern US, long hours. He is drinking a lot of fluids to stay hydrated. No Ac. He is 6 foot, 150 lbs so no extra fat to absorb or mediate the heat. What can he take internally (special drink, diet, herbs, etc?) to combat the heat and prevent exhaustion and loss of vital body minerals, etc. Thanks!

This internal heat thing, does it have any thing to do with sex. I mean does it affect production of sperm. Does it cause infertility?

My husband suddenly gets small boils and red-rashes on this face, chest, back, arms and legs. I know he has nut allergy and hence I don’t use any nuts at home. The timing is odd. He usually gets it in the evenings, right after he has come from gym, maybe around 8 or 9 pm. I use olive oil. He usually has wheat bread for dinner. Would this be the reason? It reduces after about 3 to 4 hours. I give him tamarind, orange juice, butter-milk and he takes a lukewarm shower. What other remedies can you suggest? Can he take any antihistamines ?
