My mother told me about it. It is a sudden rush of intense hot sensation on the face and sometimes, the upper body. No, it’s not the ecstasy of romance. On the other hand, it is the agony of hot flashes. My aunt told me that hers was accompanied by rapid heartbeats, sometimes this increase of heart pace came before. Sweating, dizziness, nausea, headache, anxiety came along with it. These make menopausal women weak and leave a feeling of suffocation. That was the “hot” part. Now, the “flash” part is comes as a flush leaving them reddened and covered with sweat. A chill usually climaxes these episodes. The best way to beat the heat is to overcome the heat naturally. Homeopathic healers recommend black cohosh to reduce hot flashes.
Black cohosh is an herb historically used for rheumatism and muscle pains. Lately, it has been used to treat hot flashes. Black cohosh is believed to treat other symptoms of menopause such as night sweats and vaginal dryness. This herb has also been used to treat menstrual irregularities, PMS or premenstrual syndrome, and to induce labor for pregnant women.
The roots and underground stems of Black cohosh has been used either fresh or dried in teas, pills/ capsules or tinctures (liquid extracts). Of course, you don’t have to plant and harvest the plant yourself. Manufacturers of homeopathic medicine like Menozac did extensive research and development to package the herbal supplement in desirable dosages.
Black cohosh treated hot flashes in menopausal women in the past. The same remedy has been passed on to benefit baby boomers. Black cohosh deals with menopause and the distress it brings to women. It is a natural supplement that has been time tested.
