Hot flushes and those dreaded night sweats!
As many as 75% of menopausal women experience hot flushes. They vary in intensity and frequency and may recur over months, or even years.
This refers to the dilation, or relaxation, of the tiny blood vessels near the skin, leading to a rise in skin temperature and flushing of the skin.
Increased heart rates, headaches, dizziness, weight gain, fatigue or insomnia may accompany hot flushes.
Vitamin E (200-600iu per day) has long been established for helping many menopausal problems especially hot flushes, night sweats, palpitations and vaginal dryness.
The combination of bioflavonoids, especially hesperidin, together with vitamin C (at about 1000mg of each per day) can also be useful for flushing and other circulatory problems.
Natural sources of vitamin E are plant oils (hemp, olive), seeds (linseeds, hemp seeds, sesame), wholewheat products (wholemeal bread, cereals), tinned tuna and asparagus.
Apparently it doesn't always work, but if you've tried all else, like I have, it's definitely worth a try!
