Alternative treatment of hot flashes
ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT OF HOT FLASHES
Herbs often used for hot flushes include Cimicifuga racemosa, which is said to have a direct action in reducing FSH levels (which relate to oestrogen levels, plus ginseng, motherwort and lime blossom (taken in tincture form first thing in the morning and last thing at night). Ginseng is the common name of several species of Panax herbs, and it has been prized in the East for thousands of years. Modern research has confirmed that it reduces sweating and helps the body adapt to heat stress, enhancing energy and stamina in trying conditions. Ginseng comes in a wide variety of formulations, and we recommend a cautious approach to its use as excessive amounts can lead to high blood pressure and palpitations. If no improvement is seen with any herbal substance within four weeks, it is wise not to persist.
Vitamin E and evening primrose oil tablets have strong advocates among some women with severe flushes. Natural dietary sources of vitamin E are oils made from corn, soybeans, coconut, peanuts and olives, plus alfalfa, barley, peanuts, rolled oats, chocolate, cabbage, spinach and asparagus. Vitamin E in supplement form should be used with caution and monitored regularly because it can interfere with normal blood clotting and raise blood pressure. As with all vitamins, it is preferable not to overdo the amount of vitamin E coming from supplements, and expert advice should be sought on dosage levels.
Regular physical activity is sometimes advocated for hot flush relief. The findings of the Melbourne Women's Midlife Health Study supported an association between exercise levels and feelings of good health when activities took participants outside the home. There was no apparent association, however, between exercise levels and the intensity and number of hot flushes experienced.
