Homeopathic remedies for hot flashes



Women experience a variety of symptoms of menopause, but the hot flash is the one most discussed. During menopause the body produces less estrogen and progesterone. As a result, the thermostat in our brain, the hypothalamus, gets mixed signals: is it hot or cold? It is as if it cannot decide between these states. This oscillation causes our blood vessels to expand and contract on an irregular and unpredictable basis. With an increased blood flow in the body, a feeling of heat and a flush starts on the face, the neck, and continues to the chest. Some women perspire, others really sweat! Sometimes a chill follows a hot flash.



Clothes made of natural fibers (cotton, wool, silk) can disperse heat away from the body. It is more practical to dress in layers so that clothing can be removed and added as needed.



Hot flashes deplete our bodies of the B vitamins, vitamin C, and magnesium and potassium, so it is helpful to increase our consumption of these nutrients [don't forget Calcium].



Triggers for hot flashes include spicy food, hot drinks, alcoholic drinks, white sugar (sugar can also cause palpitations), stress, hot weather, hot tubs and saunas, tobacco and marijuana and anger, especially when unexpressed,



Herbs commonly used to alleviate hot flashes include ginseng, black cohosh, vitex agnus castii, blue cohosh, dong quai, wild yam root [natural progesterone, licorice root, false unicorn and sarsaparilla. Experiment with using one herb or several in combination.



Evening primrose oil alleviates hot flashes and promotes restful sleep. These benefits may be due to the gamma linolenic acid in the oil which is said to influence prostaglandin production. (Evening primrose oil is used to relieve premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and tenderness of fibrocystic breasts). Depending on the amount of primrose oil in each capsule, effective dosages vary from 2 to 8 capsules a day.



Chickweed tincture (25 to 40 drops) once or twice a day reduces the severity and frequency of hot flashes.



A few homeopathic remedies suggested are:



Lachesis: For mental irritation and hot flashes. Lachesis 30X or 200 4 hourly (3 Doses).



Pulsatilla: For hot flashes followed by intense chills and emotional upset. Pulsatilla 30X or 200 4 hourly (3 Doses).



Valeriana: For intense sweating and insomnia and Sepia for flashes that make you feel exhausted and depressed. Valeriana 30X or 200 4 hourly (3 Doses).



There are no side effects or complications from homeopathic remedies if taken as directed. Do not exceed the given dosage under any circumstances and do not try to mix any remedies.



Avoid chocolates, mints, coffee, red meat, alcoholic and carbonated drinks, spicy rich food while taking any homeopathic remedies and keep the medicines away from direct sunlight, heat, strong smells and perfumes and store in a cool dark place (not refrigerated).In the world of Woman's life change, what natural remedy's can be used for these blooming ';Hot Flashes';?

take your clothes off, that is the only one I know
in india women eat different kind of yams. if there is a indian produce and grocery store nearby you will take a walk through the store, you will not only find the yams but some ayurvedic mixtures for women. in india women don't take any man made medicines. change is a natural process and best helped with natural means.
There is a product in the health food store called phytoestrogen that helped me some. Also black cohosh, Soy products, I drank soy protein shakes. I was plagued with severe hot flashes for 10 years and these things helped me some. Also always sleep with a fan blowing on you at night.
Black cohosh, a natural supplement works for some women. In truth though, the ';power surges'; you are experiencing are due to your brain calling for hormones and your ovaries not being able to comply. So your thermostat kicks in to compensate. The good news is that it can be controlled through appropriately prescribed natural bio-identical hormone replacement....not the synthetic stuff which is manufactured by the use of pregnant horse mare urine. (Which is fine if you are a horse.) Try to locate a physician who is on board with this type of therapy and you will feel much better. Using nothing only sets you up for heart disease, arthritis and reduced brain power and a few other nasty things associated with getting older such a wrinkly skin. I've been using this type of hormone relplacement for years with great satisfaction. It works very well. It is much safer than the prescription Prempro, etc. Good luck finding a doctor who will help you with this transition. Check out the American Academy of Antiaging to find a physician where you live. Hope this helps...hate those flashes.
