Hot flashes are one of the most common and disturbing symptoms of menopause. A hot flash can be described as a sensation of intense heat mainly in the upper part of the body, accompanied by sudden rapid heartbeat. You often feel a rising flushing in the chest, neck and face, often followed by heavy sweating. Hot flashes can last from thirty seconds to five minutes. Intensity and frequency of hot flashes vary greatly from woman to woman, but it is believed that the faster a woman goes through the transition from regular menstrual periods to no periods, the more severe her hot flashes will be. Researchers classify hot flashes as follows:
Mild hot flashes Are barely noticeable, quick, and don't interfere with normal activities. Moderate hot flashes Are warmer, more noticeable (with obvious perspiration in certain areas), and longer lasting. Often women try to end them by removing some clothes. Severe hot flashes Are intensely hot and make women stop what they are doing immediately, remove as much clothing as possible, and seek a way to cool down.
Within three years before menopause, one out of two women will experience hot flash symptoms, and about 75% of women suffer from hot flashes during menopause. Many factors can interfere with body heat balance during menopause, and we should know them in detail to be aware of how to face hot flashes.

Treatment for Hot Flashes with MacaActive

As you have already read, hot flashes are mainly caused by declining estrogen levels, which is a natural part of aging. Therefore, if you want relief from this undesirable symptom, you must restore estrogen hormone levels.

Today there are three effective ways to normalize hormonal levels: lifestyle changes, alternative medicine and drugs & surgery.

Lifestyle Changes: This level of treatment involves no risk, but may be the hardest way to go because you'll have to restrict yourself from many things. That's why most people consider the next level of treatment, alternative medicine, which has proven to be excellent for treating hot flashes in a safe and natural way.

Alternative medicine: There are two types of herbal supplements for treating hot flashes: Those containing phytoestrogenic herbs, and those containing non-estrogenic herbs. Phytoestrogenic herbs (like Black Cohosh) are filled with phytoestrogens, which are similar to estrogens. They can increase low estrogen levels by replacing some of the missing estrogen hormones. This isn't the best solution, however, because your body will become less responsive to producing estrogen on its own, causing a further decrease in body-own hormone levels. Unlike phytoestrogenic herbs, non-estrogenic herbs don't contain estrogen, but nourish hormonal glands to work more efficiently. This ultimately results in balancing not only estrogen, but other necessary hormones, as well. Non-estrogenic herbs are thus one of the best and safest ways to treat hot flashes naturally.

An excellent example of a safe and effective non-estrogenic herb for hormonal imbalance is herbal MacaActive. What makes MacaActive so special is its ability to balance hormonal levels in women by nourishing the hormonal glands. It thus alleviates most disorders related to hormonal imbalance, including hot flashes.

Drugs and Surgery: This level of treatment has the highest risk and often the highest costs. The most common drug therapy for treating hot flashes in the US is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). There's no doubt that this is the quickest and strongest way to combat hormonal imbalance. Unfortunately, it entails serious side effects and increases the risk of different types of cancer in women. If you still want to consider this approach, see your doctor to become better informed about what this treatment option involves.

A safe way to balance hormones:
Non-estrogenic herbs are the most effective solution for treating hormonal imbalance and its related symptom, hot flashes.

MacaActive is an excellent non-estrogenic herb. It's simple: rather than putting hormones from the outside into your body artificially, MacaActive stimulates your hormone glands into producing the necessary hormones naturally. This is what makes MacaActive supplements so unique.
