- Increase Magnesium and Potassium intake- magnesium regulates body temp, vasodilation of blood vessels. Magnesium holds potassium in cells. Potassium increases secretion of hormones.
- Increase intake of sea weed, wheat bran/germ, nuts, bananas, molasses, rye brewers yeast, dark green vegetables, sunflowers and whole grains.
- Drink sage tea.
- Gain up to a pound a year for ten years. Thin women have more hot flashes and an altogether more difficult menopause than heavier women. Fat cells produce estrone, a kind of oestrogen. (If you won't let yourself gain ten pounds, at least stop trying to lose weight. Dieting decreases bone mass and weakens the heart.)
- Eat more soy products.
Our mix includes Black Cohosh, Zizyphus, Dong Quai, Liquorice, Saraparilla and Sage along with Bachs Chestnut Bud, Wild Oat, Scleranthus, Hornbeam and Mustard.
Contemplate the following:
Relax and enjoy your hot flashes. Ride them like waves, feel them in your spine, ski the edges of your flushes, honour the volcanic heat of your core. Like labour pains, hot flashes are the outward sign of metamorphosis. Like labour pains, they are worse when resisted.

Hot Flushes Herbal Treatment
For many women, menopause brings relief from monthly periods, freedom from worry about unplanned pregnancy, and excitement about entering a new phase of life. For many others, menopause brings physical and emotional upheaval linked to changes occurring as the female body makes its transition out of the child-bearing years.
Whether you're among the former or the latter or somewhere in between, chances are that you will at some point seek relief from the symptoms of menopause, which include insomnia, depression, stiff joints, bloating, vaginal dryness, sore breasts, and hot flushes. Hot flushes, which are characterized by a sudden increase in heart rate, peripheral blood flow, and sweating, are for many women the most uncomfortable aspect of menopause.
Human females are unique from all other females on two counts (at least): we menstruate; and we cease to be reproductively available after we've lived only half our life span. The book "Ancient Women's Mysteries" focuses on the years of transformation from potential mother to wise, whole crone - the menopausal years.
Meno (menstruation) pause (stops) is, technically, the last menstrual flow of a woman's life. The years just before and just after the menopause itself are referred to as the climacteric. For most women the climacteric spans from early/mid 40s to late 50s/early 60s, including the pre or peri menopausal years, the menopausal climax years, and the post-menopausal years, popularly known as the Change of Life.
This Change is a metamorphosis (complete change at a cellular level). This metamorphosis follows, and may even be the matrix for, the three classic stages of initiation: isolation, death, and rebirth/reintegration. Each woman's Change includes these three stages, as well as three phases (before menopause, during menopause, and after menopause).
Each stage and phase of menopause is different; each has special needs and offers special challenges. Learn more about the stages of menopause the Wise Woman Way:
