During menopause, hot flashes heat a woman up in the arms, neck, face and torso. She has a single prayer shuttling the breath of her mind, “Please let it pass!” In some cases, her whole body experiences this heat. The heartbeat becomes faster and she flushes. Sweat begins to pour and it could be profuse. What follows a hot flash is an alternate cold chill. When hot flashes attack at night, they are known as night sweats and they are a sure cause of sleep disturbances. To all these, add dizziness, headaches and anxiety and you have a totally disorienting moment.

That is when the woman knows that treatment is not really a matter of choice anymore; it is a necessity. Professional advice leans towards natural methods. The following ones are selected for their effectiveness.

· Vitamin E supplements: this vitamin is known for reducing hot flashes and in fact cut down night sweats. Every woman who knows how it feels to go through menopause will understand the importance of this simple-sounding vitamin.

· Vitamin C: this works in some way like the one above but goes on to boost collagen production in the body. While it is possible to get vitamin C in fruits and fresh vegetables, it should be alright to try supplements too.

· Healthy eating: Fresh vegetables and fruits as well as improving on your intake of whole grains can have amazing results. You need your body as healthy as possible to withstand the upheavals that come with menopause. Also, eat foods that naturally produce oestrogen which is naturally in very low levels during this period. Such foods include soy, pumpkin seeds, oats and green beans.

· Avoidance of harmful foods goes along with taking healthy foods. Unnecessary stimulants like caffeine and alcohol should be avoided. Stay off refined sugars and drinks full of carbon.

· Exercise: your blood is better circulated, your bones stronger and you are generally healthier if you exercise regularly. With strong bones, you don’t have to fear osteoporosis which is essentially loss of bone. By making your body strong and healthy, you are making it more resilient to the hormonal take over that is brought about by menopause. Since exercise promotes a feeling of well being and a production of hormones that support that, your emotional levels will be normal and desirable.

· Avoidance of stress: during menopause, it is very likely that everything you have always done at work or at home can be a cause of worry and stress. Be in control by reducing workload and sharing out tasks.

· Fragrances: certain fragrances have ability to calm and send a person to sleep. These include chamomile, pine needles, lavender and cloves. Pack these into your pillow and you will check disturbed sleep.

As much as possible try to follow these tips with a conscious discipline. While you can easily go to a counter and order drugs, natural methods keep cancer away and cost virtually nothing.
