Have you ever found yourself fanning your face in the middle of winter while everyone else is bundled up in sweaters? If you’re in your 40s or 50s, this could be more than just a quirky body temperature thing, it might be a hot flush, one of the most common symptoms of menopause.
Understanding Hot Flushes
A hot flush (or hot flash) is a sudden feeling of warmth, usually spreading across your face, neck, and chest. It may come with sweating, a rapid heartbeat, and sometimes even a red, flushed appearance. Many women also experience night sweats, which can disrupt sleep and leave you feeling drained the next day.
But what causes these fiery moments?
The Role of Estrogen
As women approach menopause, the body’s production of estrogen, a key female hormone, naturally declines. Estrogen helps regulate your body’s temperature, among many other functions. When levels drop, your body’s temperature control center (in the hypothalamus) becomes more sensitive to small changes, triggering these sudden waves of heat even when the room is cool.
In short, your body is adjusting to a new hormonal balance, and those temperature surges are part of the transition.
Supporting Your Body Naturally
While hot flushes are a normal part of menopause, they can still feel uncomfortable and disruptive. Lifestyle adjustments like dressing in layers, keeping your bedroom cool, managing stress, and avoiding triggers like caffeine and spicy food can make a difference.
But for many women, additional nutritional support can help manage symptoms more effectively.
