Every woman will undergo menopause, but not all will experience hot flashes (the sudden warm feeling that can sometimes cause sweating or blushing). One theory on why this is the case points to changing estrogen levels in the body during menopause. Working with a naturopathic doctor can help you determine whether your hormones are at healthy levels. Other ways to avoid or manage hot flashes can include: 1) Managing stress through meditation, yoga, or counselling. 2) Getting enough sleep and exercise. 3) Improving liver and digestive system function. 4) Working to improve the function and health of your adrenal glands.
