(hot flushes)If feels as if the chest and head "overheats" and breaks into a sweat, followed by an almost uncontrollable anxiety to "cool off", like peeling off clothing and airing the upper part of the body. It is as if the entire upper body's temperature control mechanism is confused, like a faulty thermostat of a hot water cylinder! This erratic fluctuation of body temperature can cause insomnia, some women report waking up from night sweats.What causes Hot Flashes?Hot flashes occur during the period of a woman's life commonly known as menopause, usually in their late forties or early fifties. A time when the body stops producing the female hormones, Estrogen (Oestrogen) and Progesterone, at normal levels, causing an imbalance.Common Symptoms
Less Common Symptoms
It leads one to believe that hormones are responsible for much more than just our sexuality, it is the key to a woman's health. It is a misunderstood condition and can be very debilitating. Currently there is no complete solution or cure for this condition, only relief, whether medicated or herbal. Medical RemediesHRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is an option but it is accompanied by other health risks, such as breast cancer and Edema (known as fluid or water retention). Fluid usually accumulates around the ankles, resulting in swollen ankles, which can require the use of diuretics or water pills. If considering HRT your healthcare practitioner should evaluate your hormone levels and prescribe a balanced mix of both synthetic Estrogen and Progesterone, not just Estrogen. Progesterone is normally produced during a period (menses) and also plays a vital role in controlling fluid retention. Estrogen supplements may improve menopause related insomnia, providing better quality sleep.Natural/Herbal RemediesBlack Cohosh is endorsed as a good herbal remedy but did not work for us. Dong quai (Angelica sinensis) root, known as female ginseng, is another. Soy products, such as soy milk, contain isoflavines, a substance similar to estrogen, could bring relief. Taking a long, deep breath, expanding the lower part of the lungs with oxygen brings temporary relief of hot flashes and the cold sweat that usually follows. Wearing and sleeping under natural fibres is advisable.The most effective herbal remedy for us was Evening Primrose Oil. In the beginning, we tripled the normal dose, prescribed as maximum 3 x 1000mg capsules a day with food. It brought relief to hot flashes but did not completely eliminate them, you have to keep taking EPO to manage it. Evening Primrose Oil does not contain Estrogen but is instrumental in balancing out hormone levels, which is why it is also used for PMS. It is important to note that bone loss, osteoporosis, may occur as a result of declining Estrogen levels and therefore Calcium supplements should form part of the herbal treatment. As an added bonus, EPO may aid weight loss. ConclusionThe severity and frequency of hot flashes varies from woman to woman, as do the period they last and are part of your life. They are unpredictable, you cannot simulate the conditions under which they appear.Natural options have less side effects but may not produce enough hormones to sustain your body's specific requirements, affecting the absorption of Calcium. The most important factor seems to be finding the right balance of hormones to suit your body. Our overview of this condition is based on personal observation and should serve as guidance only, please consult your healthcare practitioner for professional advice.
