How to Stop Hot Flashes Naturally

Hot flashes are a common symptom millions of women worldwide experience when going through menopause. During menopause, sudden waves of heat that originate from your waist make their way up your upper body and face due to a fluctuation of hormones. Hot flashes can last up to 30 minutes and can occur several times a day. Hot flashes can cause headaches, dizziness and sleeplessness. However, you can alleviate hot flashes effectively and safely by applying natural methods.

  Take chaste tree berry tablets. The chaste tree berry contains iridoids and flavonoids, which are potent compounds that naturally alleviate hot flashes. Take one 240 mg tablet once a day.

  Consume vitamin E tablets. Vitamin E works by reducing the amount and severity of hot flashes during menopause. It also benefits your heart and strengthens your immune system. Take one 540 mg tablet once a day, preferably before meals.
