Natural Support for Hot Flushes

Hot flushes can feel sudden, intense and incredibly disruptive.

For some women they appear as:

  • heat surges

  • sweating

  • flushing

  • anxiety

  • sleep disruption

  • heart palpitations

They are one of the most recognised symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.

What Causes Hot Flushes?

Hot flushes are linked to changing hormone levels, particularly fluctuating oestrogen.

The nervous system and stress response also play a significant role.

Triggers may include:

  • alcohol

  • caffeine

  • stress

  • overheating

  • poor sleep

  • spicy foods

Natural Support Options

Depending on the individual, support may include:

  • nervous system regulation

  • blood sugar balancing

  • cooling foods

  • herbal medicine

  • stress management

  • improving sleep quality

  • reducing inflammatory load

Lifestyle support often matters just as much as supplements.
