Hot Flashes
Definition:
A hot flash is when the body's temperature is out of sync with normal bodily functioning. Hot flashes often occur during the transition period in a woman's life when the ovaries stop producing eggs, menstrual activity decreases and eventually ceases, and the body decreases the production of the female hormones, estrogen and progesterone.
Symptoms:
The symptoms of hot flashes are irregular body temperature, "blushing" or reddness look of the face, neck, chest and back, which mainly due to the increased blood flow to these areas.
Cause:
Hot flashes, caused by an increase of blood flow in the blood vessels of the face, neck, chest and back, and vaginal dryness, caused by thinning of the tissues of the vaginal wall, are the two side effects most frequently complained about. Many naturalists feel that the main causes of hot flashes are the imbalancement of hormones and a lack of wholesome nutrients in the body.
