Many women experience episodes of hot flashes during the menopause years. It is often a frightening experience at first, with sudden periods of intense heat, usually in the face and upper body. Sometimes the hot flash is accompanied by rapid heartbeat, nausea, headache and perspiring to name a few common occurrences.
In the past women seeking medical attention for the occurrence of hot flashes were prescribed man-made hormones, specifically estrogen and progesterone, but many are now turning to more natural sources of these substances.
It has been found that phytoestrogens (estrogen-like substances found in plants) bring relief to many women by stabilizing hormonal levels. The best source of phytoestrogen is found in flax. There are several colors of these small hard-shelled seeds, ranging from deep amber to reddish brown. They can be consumed by adding about 2 tablespoonfuls to fruit, yogurt, bran cereal or juice twice a day.
Other sources of plant-based estrogen include soy beans, cereal bran and beans. Not only do these foods bring relief to hot flash intensity, but they have been found to lessen the frequency of the flashes as well. Bone, heart and eye health may be favorably influenced too.
