Hot Flash treatments, natural ways to treat hot flashes

If you've ever felt a hot flash coming on at the most unwelcome moment ( and when is a hot flash EVER welcome I ask you!) then you know how awful it can make you feel. And isn't it always at the moment you want to feel your best?

Now there's a new way to cool off instantly - with no drugs, no messy sprays, and no one being the wiser!

It's called the

And this demure little black, pink or aqua microfiber pouch is lined with a stay-cool metallic lining. No, you don't stick your head in the bag, silly !

THE TRICK TO USING IT!

The trick to the Icey Bag is an amazing gel pack designed to fit perfectly in the bottom of the bag. You freeze it - it takes about an hour or so - then you pop it in this discreet little nylon pouch and toss in the bag.

When you get hot ....slip it out of the Icey Bag ( it looks like a credit card case ) and press it against the inside of your wrist, or if you can, the back of your neck. In moments it sends a message to your body that your temperature is back on track, and the flash is gone.

Pop the gel pack back in the bag and it stays icy cold until the next flash!

We tested the packs and they do stay frozen solid for about 3 -4 hours, and softer, but still very cool for up to 6 hours. You can buy a second pack for just $5.00 more, and if you freeze both they keep each other colder longer - and you always have a spare.

Plus, you can also use it stash a small sandwich, your stay-cool meds, or keep your cosmetics from melting.

Either way I promise it's the best 15 bucks you'll spend!

1. Keep a hot flash diary - and discover your triggers.

Yes, it's true, those jumping estrogen beans are what's behind all the sweating and pulsing and overheating. However, there are also a number of individual "hot flash triggers" - situations or conditions that are unique to you. By keeping a diary of your environmental factors at the time you get your hot flashes, you can sometimes discover what's heating you.

Things to pay attention to:

* What you are wearing, particularly fabrics.

Is nylon, polyester and acrylic, wool?

* What you're doing - Were you exercising, cooking

in a hot kitchen, taking a hot bath?

* How You are Feeling: Angry, nxious, depressed?

What you ate just prior to the flash : Was it spicy,

sweet, hot, protein, high carb?

* Fragrances - Your own perfume or any other

scents in your environment,

In about a week you should see at least some patterns emerge - and avoiding those situations or conditions could make a significant difference in coping with your hot flashes.

2. Watch what you eat.

Foods can trigger hot flashes - or make those that are already occurring last longer or feel worse.The most obvious are hot beverages, particularly anything with caffeine, which can naturally make your heart race and increase body temperature.

But some women find that drinking a very cold caffeinated beverage can also kick off a hot flash, so don’t' be surprised if you feel warm after a cool glass of cola.

Other foods that trigger hot flashes include hot spicy dishes, or any very warm foods - such as hot soup or a very hot meal. Alcohol is another big offender, often bringing on a hot flash even when you're not in perimenopause. Limit alcohol consumption and you might eliminate all but a few hot flashes.

3. Avoid hot baths, hot showers, hot tubs, whirlpools and Jacuzzis.

Anything that combines skin stimulation with hot water can kick off a hot flash.

Cool showers can have the opposite effect, calming your body down and

helping to head off a head flash brought on by other factors, including

when it really is "hot in here".

4. Relax -and meditate

When you feel calm and relaxed your body is less likely to

react even the most stressful hormonal chnages. Plus, the

more you remain calm, particularly when you are having

a flash, the quicker it will pass and the less likely it is to recur.

By comparison, getting excited by the fact that

you are getting a flash will only make

you feel warmer, and make the flash and the

sweating worse. In addition, try to breathe through

your nose and not your mouth.

Mouth breathing can cause you to hyperventilate which

in turn can make you feel warmer or even bring on a hot flash.

5. Keep exercising.

There is good evidence to show that regular exercise can help to deter hot flashes - and women who work out report they generally get fewer episodes than sedentary women. One theory says it's because exercise raises levels of endorphins, the natural body chemical that makes us feel good. Not coincidentally, there is some evidence to show that endorphins are involved in the regulation of body temperature. So the higher the levels, the more reliable your internal "thermostat" may be.
