Menopause is probably the most hated time in the women's life.
It used to come together with many other symptoms, and one of the most annoying and frustrating of all of them are the Hot Flashes.
Since I believe that nature has answers for the most of health problems, I am going to focus this article on how to help you to Relieve Hot Flashes Naturally, what is our goal in this article.
Statistics say that these.
also called "hot flushes" or "night sweats" happen to most than 50% of women during transition into menopause, and up to 80% of women after menopause.
Hot flashes don´t come alone, usually those are accompanied by suffocation, difficulty to concentrate, nausea and anxiety.
Fortunatelly, there are ways to relieve them naturally.
When and Why Hot Flashes Occur? Although nothing is proved, it is a thinking that those are related with fluctuations or decreasing of levels of estrogen, and it uses to happen when first symptoms of menopause appear, and normally go through and along of all the perimenopause and menopause process (commonly between 10 - 15 years).
Since hot flashes and menopause symptoms affect women of many different ways, there is not one magical tip or product to relieve all the symptoms.
Here, I am going to list the most efficient ways to relieve hot flashes naturally, so each person can pick what better works for her.
KILL Hot Flashes Symptoms Naturally: Before starting with any recommendation, I must inform you about a very used strategy to combat these symptoms in the past years, but nowadays we know that it is a risky mehod.
This is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
Even though this method works very well for many women, because it increases levels of estrogen in the body, today there are studies (Woman's Health Initiative) showing that this isn't a safe solution, because it could be directly related of increasing of heart disease and breast cancer.
That said, we go forward with our recommendations:

• Try an effective and safe alternative to HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy): as indicated, HRT is a no safety option to balance the hormone level.
  Fortunatelly, nowadays there are some products to relieve hot flashes naturally.
  Make a research to find a safe and effective one (please, read more at the end of this article).
  
• Reduce factors that produce stress: there are studies showing that women with high level of anxiety have up to 5 times more hot flashes than women with low anxiety or stress levels.
  So, it is a key to change some habits in your everyday life to reduce stress.
  Practicing sports, exercise, yoga and meditation are some of more useful methods to relieve hot flashes naturally, and menopause symptoms.
  
• Black Cohosh: there are several researchs showing very good results using Black Cohosh to relieve hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety and sweating.
  A dosage of 40 - 80mg daily could reduce the symptoms around 50%.
  
• Change eating habits: it is a fact that food largely determines our health.
  Similarly, our eating habits can have relevant importance on menopause symptoms.
  For example, if you feel worse after consuming alcohol, caffeine or spicy foods, try to reduce or eliminate them to reduce hot flashes to a minimum.
  What I suggest is that you should pay attention to what you were eating or drinking before a hot flush occurs and find a pattern.
  Same way there are some foods you`ll have to avoid, there are anothers that will help you to prevent them.
  Probably Soybean is the most helpful of all of them.
  It is rich in isoflavones, which is plant estrogen, so soybean is one of the best menopause fighting food.
  

PD: I want to note that menopause symptoms are very unusual in some cultures like Orientals, this is because their very rich in estrogen diets.
