Menopause is a natural stage in every woman’s life, marking the end of menstrual cycles and the beginning of a new chapter. While it’s a normal transition, many women find themselves having to deal with hot flushes.
Hot flushes are one of the most common symptoms during menopause. There are safe and effective ways to manage menopause hot flushes naturally with simple lifestyle changes and holistic remedies, without the need for medication..
Frequently asked questions about hot flushes
Why do hot flushes happen?
Hot flushes occur when blood vessels near the surface of your skin suddenly widen. This allows your body to release heat, which can make you feel suddenly hot and sweaty.
The primary cause is the drop in oestrogen during menopause, which affects how your body regulates temperature.
Other common symptoms that can accompany hot flushes include:
Night sweats
Racing heartbeat
Anxiety or tension
Hot flushes aren’t just physical. They can affect confidence, disrupt work, and make social situations uncomfortable.
How long and how often do hot flushes last generally?
Duration: Some women experience them for a few months, while others may have symptoms for several years. Hot flushes usually become less intense over time.
Frequency: You might have just a few a week or several a day. Some last only seconds, while others can continue for up to 10 minutes.
With the right natural support, hot flushes can become much more manageable.
Can I manage hot flushes naturally?
Absolutely. Many women successfully manage menopause hot flushes naturally using a combination of lifestyle changes, nutritional support, relaxation techniques, and homeopathic remedies. The key is finding what works best for your body.
Supporting the adrenal glands and the liver can also help balance hormones and reduce symptoms such as hot flushes and fatigue.
