What causes hot flashes is still a mystery. On April 24, 2006, Newsweek reported that researchers have studied the physiology of hot flashes for more than 30 years but still don't know exactly how or why they occur.
However, many scientists found that heart disease risks link with menopause symptoms.
If you suffer hot flashes every day, get your blood pressure checked. Women who have hot flashes are 50% more likely to have high blood pressure than those who don't; a study reported it based on 154 women.
Dutch scientists just found that women with the most severe menopause symptoms had more heart disease risks, such as higher cholesterol levels, and BMI-than women with milder complaints. Investigators suspect that declining estrogen may affect blood vessel walls, but research is still under way.
Chinese scientists found that reducing blood pressure can reduce menopause symptoms. They formed an herbal formula, which has two functions: to reduce blood pressure and increase body-made estrogens. The herbal formula has 80% effective rate to reduce blood pressure based on a clinical trial in 2000. Best of all, it has 90% effective rate to reduce hot flashes.
No one knows exactly what happens during menopause, but one thing is sure: menopause is not caused by one factor.
Since menopause is caused by aging of multiple systems, Western medicine has limitations that mask symptoms without addressing the underlying cause: the benefit disappears once you stop taking hormones. So, you need several years of hormone treatments for menopause symptom relief.
Fortunately, Chinese herbs address the root cause with the approach of multiple compounds directed to multiple targets: it awakens your idled built-in mechanism to produce body-made hormones. Therefore, you only need several months of herbal remedy to waken your built-in mechanism.
