Are your Hot Flushes Getting You Down?
Help is at hand…
Hot flushes can occur for many women after the age of around 40 due to a decrease in hormone levels. This is a time when women are changing and may feel frightened of aging or not being loved. Hot flushes can be one of the most distressing symptoms of the menopause as women can find them uncomfortable and embarrassing. Triggers include spicy food, caffeine, alcohol, overheating and stress. It is definitely worth seeking nutritional advice and your homeopath will be able to find the correct remedy for you, however these are some of the remedies that can help alleviate the flushes and sweats.
