Physicool Rapid Cooling Mist

When you think of the menopause you think of hot flushes

Production and levels of oestrogen start to fall as women enter their 40’s and 50’s, and for some, even during the late 30’s. Experts believe the reduction in oestrogen affects the brain’s ‘thermostat’, the hypothalamus which regulates body temperature. Basically, the decreasing levels of oestrogen confuses the hypothalamus, making it think that the body is overheating, causing your heart to pump faster, blood vessels in your skin to swell, and your sweat glands to go on overdrive, all the symptoms of hot flushes.

Managing hot flushes

There are certain triggers to avoid or at least try reducing to manage your flushes: Smoking, stress, caffeine, alcohol and tight clothing should all be avoided. And there are also many helpful tips to reduce the heat and intensity; keep your bedroom cool at night, wear light layers of clothes with natural fibres such as cotton, drink plenty of water, keep fit, breath slowly and deeply when you feel the onset however hot flushes can strike at any time with a sudden and overwhelming burst of intense heat and sweat and when it happens you need something to address it right there and then.
