Don‘t just go for ANY TREATMENT... Go for the BEST TREATMENT
Hot Flashes are one of the most common symptoms of menopause, experienced by nearly 75% of women during this natural life transition. They are characterised by sudden feelings of intense heat, usually on the face, neck, or chest, often accompanied by sweating, palpitations, and flushing, followed by chills. These episodes are caused by fluctuating estrogen levels, which affect the brain’s temperature regulation. Homeopathy helps by balancing hormonal changes, reducing the frequency and intensity of hot flashes, and supporting emotional and physical well-being during menopause — naturally and safely.
Causes
Hot flashes occur due to hormonal fluctuations, primarily declining estrogen levels that affect the hypothalamus — the part of the brain that regulates body temperature.
Common triggers and contributing factors include:
- Menopause or perimenopause (natural estrogen decline)
- Surgical menopause (after removal of ovaries)
- Stress and emotional strain
- Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle
- Spicy food, alcohol, or caffeine
- Smoking
- Certain medications (antidepressants, steroids)
Symptoms – What It Means for Your Body
Symptom | Explanation |
Sudden heat sensation in the face, neck, or chest | Blood vessel dilation due to estrogen drop |
Excessive sweating during or after the flash | The body’s attempt to cool itself |
Palpitations or anxiety | Nervous system response to hormonal shifts |
Redness or flushing of the skin | Increased blood flow near the skin surface |
Chills following a heat episode | Sudden drop in body temperature post-flash |
Night sweats and disturbed sleep | Hormonal instability affecting temperature control |
Irritability or mood swings | Estrogen fluctuations affect neurotransmitters |
Lifestyle & Care Tips
- Wear light, breathable cotton clothing and dress in layers.
- Avoid spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol, which can trigger flashes.
- Keep your environment cool and use a fan or cold pack during episodes.
- Practice deep breathing or mindfulness to manage stress and anxiety.
- Exercise regularly — yoga, brisk walking, or swimming helps regulate hormones.
- Stay well-hydrated throughout the day.
- Include soy, flax seeds, and foods rich in phytoestrogens (natural plant estrogens).
- Maintain regular sleep habits and avoid heavy dinners.
