Menopausal Hot Flashes

Tweet

My wife had her menopause long back, she is 59 now, but she still has the hot flashes. Doctors advised hormonal therapy, I am not favor or this at all. We tried herbal, ‘Aurvedic’ medicines, but the problem persists. Today while searching in net I received this information, it says, ‘It can feel like summertime all year round for millions of women who suffer from hot flashes/night sweats. Even those who experience hot flashes only seasonally may dread summer heat. One can keep body cool by controlling outside influences that trigger hot flashes. Wear light, breathable fabrics; lower the thermostat; use relaxation techniques; and avoid any known personal food or stress triggers. . Here are some more “cool” tips: Break a sweat. Exercise increases endorphins—your “feel good” hormones that also influence activities related to your internal thermostat. Just 30 minutes 3 times weekly can reduce hot flashes, and improve other menopausal symptoms such as depression, fatigue, anxiety, and insomnia. Drop some weight. Overweight women have more frequent and severe hot flashes, as well as increased risk to diseases associated with menopause, such as osteoporosis, metabolic syndrome, and heart disease. One can also try natural relief. A special botanical extract of rhapontic rhubarb root called ERr 731®, prescribed in Europe since 1993, is now available as a dietary supplement in the U.S. It offers similar hot flash relief to hormone therapies, but is safer and can even be used in perimenopause—when hot flashes may be most severe. Well the city where we live is having a hot climate; my wife wears cotton saree and blouse, very comfortable. We don’t need any cloth that has internal heating arrangement. She does light exercises and walking, she is fatty, fair and overweight too. Her menopausal problem persists. ERr 731® is not available in my country. Do you, your mom, wife or any known woman suffer from this? What remedy you did? My American friends can tell about ERr 731® if they know. Please help and comment on this. Professor
