Black Cohosh – Relieves menopausal hot flashes, relieves menstrual cramps, helps circulatory and cardiovascular disorders, lowers blood pressure, reduces cholesterol, useful for nervousness and stress. In a recent German study on menopausal hot flashes, subjects were given estrogen, a Valium-like tranquilizer or black cohosh (Remifemin, two tablets twice a day). The herb, which is an option for women who can’t take estrogen, worked best. “The vast majority of studies show benefit,” says Mark Blumenthal, executive director of the American Botanical Council.
Note: Do not use during pregnancy.
Flaxseed for Menopausal Discomfort – Safety concerns have reduced the number of women on hormone replacement therapy, but flaxseed is rich in phytoestrogens (plant estrogens) that can take the heat out of hot flashes. At Laval University in Quebec , Canada
Ginger, sage and peppermint are good for hot flashes too.
Known Conditions Contributing to Health Problem:
Dairy products must be avoided; they contain antibiotics and hormones which disrupt the body’s natural estrogen. Milk, cream cottage cheese, sour cream, cream cheese all contain hormones. Avoid sugar and white products. Meat should be avoided too as it contributes to hot flashes. Eliminate coffee, tea, alcohol and nicotine. Where possible stay away from drugs, they disrupt the body and cause many side effects. Stress puts a burden on the ADRENAL GLANDS causing them to overwork; therefore, the ADRENALS produce smaller amounts of hormones that are needed to help reduce the side effects of menopause. The hypothalamus is the area of the brain that regulates the heat producing mechanism of the body. Hot flashes can be the result of widespread blood vessel dilation when there is overwork/ stimulation of these glands.
Habits that Need to be Changed:
Daily lifestyle habits, such as eating patterns, exercise, mental, emotional and spiritual attitudes need strengthening. Also improper dressing must be corrected to ensure a balance or circulation throughout the entire system. Irregular hours of sleeping need to be corrected as adequate sleep and rest are essential for recharging the nervous system.
With good health habits following menopause, the ovaries continue to produce a reduced amount of estrogen and other glands take over. The ADRENALS begin to form a type of female hormone which is used along with the small amount of ovarian estrogen. With the right herbs, the body can continue producing the correct amount of hormones needed by the system; even the correct amount of progesterone is produced by other glands.
The LIVER needs to be strengthened and purified. The LIVER has the job of filtering toxins that prevent the blood from accumulating excess hormones. Diet change is helpful in cleaning the blood and bowels.
DAILY EXERCISE:
“Exercise would in many cases be better for the health than medicine.”
Exercise is very important during menopause form many reasons. In particular, exercise may help reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes. As a result of the theory that impaired endorphin activity within the hypothalamus is a major factor in provoking hot flashes, researchers in Sweden designed a study to determine the effect of regular physical exercise on the frequency of hot flashes. In the study, the frequency of moderate and severe hot flashes was investigated in seventy-nine postmenopausal women who took part in physical exercise on a regular basis and was compared to that in a control group of 866 postmenopausal women between fifty-two and fifty-four years old. The study clearly demonstrated that regular physical exercise decreased the frequency and severity of hot flashes. The women in the exercising group passed through a natural menopause without the use of hormone replacement therapy. The physically active women who had no hot flashes whatsoever spend an average of 3.5 hours per week exercising, while women who exercised less than this amount were more likely to have hot flashes. Similar results, including mood elevation in pre, peri, and postmenopausal exercising versus sedentary women, have been reported in other studies. The benefits of exercise were experienced in women both on and off (Hormone Replacement Therapy: HRT).
The health benefits of regular exercise during menopause are numerous. Conditioning exercise is what is needed. This is the type of exercise that will increase your endurance gradually. You may use three things to help guide you in the intensity that you exercise:
- Learn what your safe ten-second pulse rate for your age should be during exercise. Learn how to count your ten-second pulse beat and exercise up to that degree.
- Exercise to the intensity that you are barely able to carry on a conversation with someone as you exercise
- If you should develop chest pain during exercise, stop at that point. Follow the advice of your physician.
Exercise a minimum of 20-30 minutes at the peak of endurance daily of at all possible, if not daily, at least every other day. The body forces seem to “escape” from good condition rather easily. Walking is the best exercise.
“There is no exercise that can take the place of walking. By it the circulation of the blood is greatly improved. . . Walking, in all cases where it is possible, is the best remedy for diseased bodies, because in this exercise all of the organs of the body are brought into use.” -- T., V. III, p. 78. {HL 129.5}
