What Are Hot Flashes?
Women spend 30 years of life on average after menopause, which is more than one-third of their lives  About forty percent of premenopausal women and 70 to 80 percent of women who naturally go through menopause and 90 to 100 percent of those who have had their ovaries removed will experience hot flashes. In 30 percent of women, vasomoto flashes occur more than 10 times a day.

Hot flashes and perspiration do not jeopardize life, but they may result in anxiety and discomfort and they can even affect one’s career, housework and leisure time.

Hot flashes usually occur during the night so they affect sleeping patterns and lead to perspiration and sleeplessness. This can cause insomnia, anger, restlessness and reduces mental functions.  The immune system then becomes more vulnerable to all sorts of stress disorders and can be indirectly related to coronary heart diseases

Homeopathy offers safe, effective, natural treatment for hot flashes! The other proposed allopathic treatments are not acceptable for women or practitioners due to their side effects, inappropriate efficacy or unclear dosage. Menopause symptoms are different among populations with different diets, especially those rich in phytoestrogens.

Herbs with estrogen-like components that help with hot flashes include:

• black cohosh

• kava kava

• gingko

• ginseng

• valerian (read the study on the valerian capsules used which contained 225 mg of Valerian root were prescribed 3 times a day for 8 weeks)

• flax seed oil and walnuts are also helpful with menopause hot flash symptoms

Researchers have done studies on many herbs that offer relief from recurrence of menopausal hot flashes, including avocado and soybean oil (piascledine^®),  licorice (Read study on the herbal licorice capsules used which contained 330 mg licorice root.
