As a child, I would experience my mother go through "women" changes like hot flashes and wondered why there weren't any medicine or hot flash remedies that could help her soothe her pain. I would just try my best to stay out of her path because she would literally push me and my sisters out of the way to open up a window for air. I felt bad for her, and I felt even worse that I too would have to go through this change as a woman. Well, thank God this isn't 40 years ago and now there is a foul proof way to get rid of these flashes... finally.

First, lets start off with what you should not do and that is using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) because of the dangerous side effects that can come with it. It also can bring about hormone induced breast cancer.

I would say the same thing about prescription medicine. I took some that my personal doctor prescribed and still suffered with side effects. Every woman's body is different and you don't know what ingredients will not sit well with your body.

Some other tidbits include staying away from caffeine. Caffeine also bring about hot flashes. Also, have extra bedding available at night and during the day, apply antiperspirant between your breasts to reduce sweating.

Now, lets get to what the best remedy is and that is using herbal supplements. Some herbal supplements contain ingredients that are meant to ease perimenopause and menopause symptoms such as hot flashes. Even if you're not in the menopausal stage, these ingredients will definitely decrease while using the supplements. The best part about it is that you will not experience any side effects because they are natural. Ingredients that soothe hot flashes include soy, black cohash, and Vitamin E.
