What to Take For Hot Flashes

Natural Alternatives for Relief

 

If you have ever experienced a hot flash no one need to tell you just how frustrating, embarrassing, unpredictable and worrisome they can be.

If you are a menopausal woman and experiencing hot flashes you may be seeking a natural alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy or HRT. So, the question remains what to take for hot flashes.

A study sponsored  by the National Institutes of Health, suspects HRT treatment as posing serious health risks such as an increase in breast cancer, strokes, blood clots, Alzheimer’s disease and total cardiovascular disease; as a result, many women are seeking alternatives to HRT.

One of the common symptoms of menopause and perimenopause is hot flashes.  With hot flashes comes a sensation of intense heat with sweating and usually heat palpitation.  One hot flash may last for a brief period or up to 30 minutes.

Extreme hot flashes, during bed time, may make it difficult to sleep throughout the night which may lead to insomnia. Note, estrogen is typically lowest at night. By now you may be asking,   “so what are some natural alternatives to HRT.”

Before I answer the question of what to take, let’s begin with a list of what you  may want to avoid.

Some of  the foods you may want to avoid to lessen hot flashes are caffeine, hot drinks, chocolate, alcohol and spicy foods.

Now here are some suggestions for what to take for hot flashes:

1.)   Vitamin rich foods. Consume a diet rich in fruits and veggies, organic  and fresh when possible

2.)    Vitamins B and C. Hot flashes can deplete the body of calcium and Vitamin B  & C

3.)    Vitamin E supplement. Reportedly, vitamin E taken in mega doses has lessened hot flashes

4.)    Evening primrose oil.  Reduces hot flashes and promotes restful sleep

5.)    Damiana. Used to treat a whole range of conditions including hot flashes

6.)    Licorice root.  The components in licorice, reportedly, change the  chemicals that produce   estrogen in a woman’s body

 

7.)    Ginseng- Ginseng is considered an adaptogen bring imbalanced bodies  and their chemistry        into   balance.

8.)    Sarsaparilla. The flavoring used in natural root beer to give it that  distinctive taste.

9.)    Magnesium. Essential for the absorption of calcium

10.) Calcium- Adequate calcium is essential if you experience hot flashes

11.) Black Cohosh. Used by Native Americans for female conditions
