Hot Flushes

Hot flushes are a common symptom of menopause, affecting many women as they experience hormonal changes. These sudden sensations of heat, often accompanied by sweating and a rapid heartbeat, can last from a few seconds to several minutes. They are caused by fluctuations in estrogen levels, which affect the body's temperature regulation. Hot flushes can disrupt sleep and daily activities, leading to discomfort and stress. Managing them may involve giving extra support to the adrenal glands and thyroid. Reducing caffeine, alcohol intake and sugar are shown to be lifestyle changes worth making
