Hot flashes are a topical issue for women reaching menopause. They are usually over 45 and know that it is not an easy time. The effects can sometimes last up to 5 or 6 years after the last period. Gynecologists often prescribe hormonal treatment to prevent hot flashes, and there are also gentle methods such as “green medicine,” which suggests natural treatment with plants, also known as phytotherapy.
Avoid hormone replacement therapy
Pharmaceutical companies have made hormone replacement therapy available to women. Yet, these treatments are sometimes controversial. Their use exposes women to the risk of breast cancer due to the hormones; it’s a matter of dosage and duration…
The problem with these treatments is that menopause cases vary. Symptoms related to intense menopause in some women may be mild in others. HRT, hormone replacement therapy, is sometimes widespread for medical convenience (except in cases of breast cancer and cardiovascular risks)… It would therefore be best to sometimes turn to natural, personalized but effective methods such as herbal medicine.
Opt for natural remedies
I have already heard testimonies from women saying, ” I suffer from intense hot flashes … I’m afraid I’ll be prescribed hormone replacement.” After several consultations with the gynecologist, one in two ends up with a naturopath. “He explained to me with great patience what was happening in my body, and advised me to adjust my diet, plant hormones (soy and yam), plants, vitamins. The results were very rapid. Amazing! Since then, I feel in great shape!”
Some tips for treating hot flashes
Offers you solutions based on plant extracts to relieve hot flashes.
Sage: It has the quality of stimulating ovarian activity and thus curbing excessive sweating. Two daily doses, at a rate of 300mg of capsules each, can give good results.
Hops promote the body’s production of estrogen. For this climbing plant, you should drink 3 cups of infusion per day. One infusion is made from 15g of leaves and bark. This dose is then infused in 1 liter of boiling water for 10 minutes.
Soybeans are one of the best phytoestrogenic plants. The dosages are also not complicated, as you only need to consume 60g of sprouted soybeans per day.
Furthermore, the treatment lasts from 15 days to 2 months before seeing the symptoms cease, and this is due to the presence of isoflavones in soy.
For this tip, you can vary the soy preparation or use any soy-based foods you like. Although there are ready-made soy capsules available, you can also choose from a wide variety of other foods.
