Biodentical HRT for the Menopause Hot
Flash?
Menopause is an inevitable, natural phase all women experience, beginning around the age of forty when
peri-menopause appears, and ending around age fifty two.
There may be missed or spotty periods, but when menstruation has ceased for at least twelve months, it usually
means menopause is over. Some women hardly notice they are going through the "change" at all, whereas other women
feel awful.
There is the common menopause hot flash episodes, to irritability, increased appetite, insomnia, and having to
urinate several times a night. Some women complain of feeling overheated during the night, so, they kick off their
bed blankets and still wake up bathed in perspiration. This does not allow for a rested night's sleep.
All of these symptoms are due to the fluctuating imbalance of hormones.
The symptoms of a menopause hot flash feels like a rush of heat to the face and body, almost as if the
furnace has been turned up too high. The flush rushes to the face and neck when least expected, such as at
business meetings for example, causing discomfort and embarrassment.
The good news is there are safe, natural, hormone balancing remedies. Women become so tired of the term
''hormonal'', each time they become angry or irritable, because often, the anger is a response to pent up anger
that has been held in check for years, and is finally coming out full force.
These women have taken care of others for a long time, it is now the time to take care of themselves.
Proper nutrition cannot be stated enough, as it will reduce the menopause hot flash women endure.
Multivitamins ensure the functioning of neurotransmitters in the brain are working properly. In addition,
vitamins play a role in restoring hormonal balance.
It is also very important to exercise regularly. Walking, swimming, weight training and yoga keep muscles
toned and body weight stable. Another tip for safe restoration of hormonal balance, is a program of endocrine
support. These work by supplements, creams, dietary changes and lifestyle.
One more natural form of hormone replacement therapy is called Bioidentical HRT. This is prescribed for each
woman individually as women all differ in their menopause symptoms. Not meant to be used indefinitely,
Bioidentical HRT has brought energy and happiness back for some women having a very difficult menopause.
