Hot Mama
Feeling that unwelcome warm glow multiple times a day?
Hot, then cold, then hot again? Waking up many times in the night drenched in sweat? Anxious and unsettled? Is the idea of sex too painful or not even the slightest bit interesting? While some women shift seamlessly into this new phase of life, 75% of women experience hot flashes and other unpleasant symptoms for years. The average age of menopause is 51, but menopause can actually happen any time from the 30s to the mid-50s or later. It can be brought on by natural or medical causes, and signals the end of your reproductive years. This can be cause for either grief or celebration. If you'd like to try a non-hormonal alternative to treating your symptoms, acupuncture and Chinese herbs can greatly reduce or even eliminate symptoms. |
