3 Natural Ways to Ease Menopause Sweating


Menopause sweating isn't a topic that's notorious for the girls night out. However... It should BE! Since 80% of women that are over the age of 35 sweat like a 350lb linebacker at summer camp, it's worth talking about. Hot flashes and menopause sweating is synonymous; they're both like having an acute visit to hell. You can feel the sweat coming on. Its usually starts from underneath the skin of the face and expands outward to cover your entire face and neck area. Worse yet, it's uncontrollable. You're sitting or talking with a co-worker or worse your boss and buckets of sweat starts streaming down your face.

Other than your face feeling like it's engulfed with flames there are a few other discomforts that menopause sweating brings with it. Here's a short laundry list; nausea, mood swings, loss of libido, night sweats, vaginal dryness, dizziness, weight gain, memory loss, and depression. Fortunately, there are natural treatments for menopause sweating that can actually relieve your symptoms and help you live a more normal life. I'll share those remedies with you as well as some information.

Most people don't really understand menopause. Part of the reason for that is because of the miss-information about this mid-life change. If you're wondering if you are experiencing menopause or just stressing...having just one of the above symptoms combined with your age could mean menopause. While modern medicine doesn't quite know exactly how to cure it, through research, (trail and error) below are a few of their best suggestions.

Your Diet: Watch what you eat. You should avoid caffeine, sodas, junk foods and sweets. Decrease the amount of commercially raised pork, chicken, and beef that you consume because they could contain a high amount of saturated fats and decrease the body's ability to metabolize estrogen.

Black Cohosh: This is a very popular widely used herb that's taken to treat menopause symptoms. Its been proven to achieve positive results relieving night sweats, vaginal dryness, depression and anxiety attacks.

Soy: Estrogen production is lacking during menopause. A group of chemical compounds found in soybeans are similar to the estrogen produced in the body. These compounds are called phytoestrogens and eating foods rich in these compounds help alleviate low estrogen production in the body.
