Estrogen Rich Foods - A Natural Remedy For Hot Flashes

Few women suffering from hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings and brittle hair are aware that estrogen rich foods represent a natural remedy for hot flashes and most all menopause symptoms. These foods could be a particular blessing to women who are wary of synthetic hormone replacement therapy.
The foods I'm talking about help lessen the discomfort of menopause because they contain phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens come primarily in two forms - isofavones and lignans. Isoflavones are found primarily in plant based food such as fruits and vegetables. Lignans are found in legumes that grow underground. Instead of giving a long list of fruits and vegetables for you to shop for I would prefer to give you a simple four part strategy that is much easier to remember and facilitate on a daily basis.
Strategy number one, eat more beans. Beans are high in fiber, and isoflavones. They are a good source of protein and their protein to carbohydrate ratio is excellent. They are the perfect "survival" food. The best of the beans from an isoflavone standpoint are garbanzos, lima beans, navy beans and black-eyed peas..
Strategy number two, eat more fruits and vegetables. I know that it sounds like something your mother would tell you but they are good for you. They are high in fiber and isoflavones as well as vitamins and minerals. The particular fruits to target are apples, dates, plums and cherries. This is an important part of the menopause regimen.
Strategy number three, eat more soy and tofu. Soy protein shakes are an excellent meal replacement as well as being an excellent source of plant based estrogen. Tofu is excellent when cut up in salads and as a meat replacement in various casseroles. Don't make a snap judgement on the first taste of tofu it will grow on you!
Strategy number four, eat more flaxseed. I particularly enjoy flaxseed oil based peanut butter. I have a coffee grinder and I use it to grind up flaxseed and then sprinkle it into my cereal either hot or cold. Flaxseed is excellent as a source of fiber and is believed to be a deterent to many forms of cancer, most notably breast cancer.
If you have rejected hormone replacement therapy then by all means try adding estrogen rich foods to your diet as a natural remedy for hotflashes and other menopausal discomforts. Benefits derived from eating estrogen foods will take four to six weeks to become noticeable.

Do Natural Hot Flashes Remedies Really Work?

Hot flashes and night sweats are bothersome to debilitating, and can dominate a woman's life throughout perimenopause and postmenopause. They are one of the most common menopause related complaints, affecting 80-85% of American women who transition through menopause. An easy solution in the past has been hormone replacement therapy, which very effectively reduces hot flashes and sweats by 94%, according to researchers. However, over the past couple years researchers have found more and more risks associated with hrt. As a result both the women seeking relief from menopause related complaints and their doctors are unwilling to put themselves at risk, even for relief of life disrupting menopause complaints. With no effective alternatives available through the medical profession, women are left on their own to figure out what to do to get relief.
Turning to the internet, today's quick source for information (and misinformation) women usually try one remedy, then another, based on snippets of information or testimonials used to advertise different products. Typically one will try the most familiar herb or remedy that you happen to come across. We tend to attribute value and safety to something we are familiar with, even if that is not the case. Unable to spend the time and focus required to investigate and identify what is the best product available, we tend to go with the flow.
But what are the facts when it comes to natural hot flash remedies?
There are many natural hot flash remedies available on the market. To try and make sense of them all, I'll divide them into two groups-phytoestrogens and non-phytoestrogens. I will only discuss phytoestrogens here, since they tend to relieve menopause related complaints, particularly hot flashes more effectively than non-phytoestrogens. So let me begin by explaining what phytoestrogens are. Phytoestrogen means literally "plant"-"estrogen". But before going any further with plant estrogens, lets look at human estrogen. Our human body manufactures three estrogens, three variations on a theme if you will. The molecules look very similar, with slight variations. However, these variations are significant enough to change the effects of each of these estrogens somewhat.
Plants too, make molecules that look like human estrogen, but which are not the same as what is made in the human body. Considering all of the different plants found in nature, it makes sense that plants would not all manufacture the same "plant estrogen" or phytoestrogen. And in fact that is the case. There are many different estrogen like molecules found in nature, created by many different plants. We call edible medicinal plants herbs. And so we look to different herbs as sources for these phytoestrogens which have beneficial or medicinal qualities with regard to menopause complaints.
These many different phytoestrogens, each being unique, have different effects in our human body. Generally speaking, phytoestrogens are much weaker than human estrogens in their estrogenic activity. One researcher has ventured that most phytoestrogens have about 1/1000th the estrogenic effect of human estrogens. Because each of these plant estrogens is unique, each can have its own unique side effects. But generally, not being as potent as human estrogen, the side effects are usually less as well.
Which herbs really work for relieving hot flashes and night sweats
Let's go directly to some of the research on the ability of specific herbs to reduce hot flashes. Isoflavones are found primarily in beans, including soy beans. They have weak estrogenic activity in humans. Women receiving 60 mg of isoflavones daily for 12 weeks saw their hot flushes reduced 57% and night sweats reduced 43%. Another study way was reported in the Maturitas: Journal of Climacteric and Postmenopause. The study investigated the benefits of soy for relief of hot flashes in a group of fifty-eight women with an average age of fifty-four. In six weeks the women reported a 40% reduction in all menopause related complaints, including hot flushes and night sweats.
Red clover is an herb that is commonly used by women seeking relief of hot flashes. While red clover has demonstrated benefit with regard to maintaining bone density, at least one study reported at the National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine found no benefit for relief of hot flashes. In the study women complaining of hot flashes were given either hormone replacement therapy, red clover, black cohosh or a placebo. To participate the 89 women had to have reported thirty-five or more hot flashes and night sweats each week. Those receiving the hormone replacement therapy reported the greatest benefit, with 94% reduction of flushes and sweats. Surprisingly for the researchers, the next greatest benefit was shown by the placebo, with 63% reduction. This was followed by a 57% reduction in complaints for red clover, and trailing in last place was black cohosh which according to the women, reduced their hot flushes and sweats by just 34%.
These results were not very promising, since red clover and black cohosh are two of the most commonly used herbal products in the United States for relief of hot flushes and night sweats. Fortunately there is another contender which has been shown in separate research to significantly relieve hot flashes and night sweats. It is Siberian rhubarb root extract, which while only recently available in the United States, has been used by European women for some time. A study published in the journal Menopause compared the benefits of this rhubarb root extract with ultra-low dose hormone replacement therapy. Researchers found that this extract (called ERr 731 by the researchers) reduced hot flashes and night sweats in perimenopausal women by 72%. Better yet, Siberian rhubarb root extract was reported to relief virtually all menopause related complaints including insomnia, anxiety and irritability, vaginal dryness, aches and pains, urinary incontinence and more.

Foods To Fight Hot Flashes

Many women over 40 struggle with hot flashes and a lot of them are looking for non-medical ways to feel better. A good place to start when you are trying to feel better, no matter what the cause, is to examine what you are eating. Often our diet can cause us to be sick and, just as often, the food we eat can help to heal us. As Hippocrates said, "Let food be your medicine, and medicine be your food."
Let's look at some dietary tips to help with hot flashes. After the tips, you'll find a tasty recipe that incorporates some of the foods talked about below.
1. Avoid Hot FlashTriggers -For some women, certain foods or substances in foods can set off hot flashes. These include caffeine, alcohol and spicy foods. It may be helpful to keep a log or journal, recording what you eat and when you experience hot flashes to see if there is a connection.
2. Try adding Soy foods to your diet- Soy contains isoflavones, compounds that have estrogen-like effects. Women in Japan, who consume a relatively high amount of soy, have significantly less hot flashes than women in the U.S. and soy may be the reason why. Consider adding 1-2 servings per day of whole soy foods, such as edamame (soybeans in the shell), roasted soy nuts, tofu, tempeh (firmer than tofu with a textured, nutty flavor) or soy milk. Stay away from soy powders or supplements since they tend to be highly processed and more research is needed to assure that they are safe and effective.
3. Eat more plant-based, whole foods like whole grains, beans, fruits and vegetables (especially leafy greens) and less animal and processed food. Commercially produced meat and dairy and highly processed packaged food increase inflammation in the body, whereas plant-based, whole foods decrease inflammation, and can help you feel better overall and help decrease hot flash symptoms.
4. Drink Water- Staying hydrated can help keep you cool and comfortable. Substitute a cold glass of water for any soda or sweetened drinks you may usually have.
Quick and Easy Hot Flash Recipe
Orecchiette with Edamame, Tomatoes and Ricotta Salata- serves 4
Ingredients:
1 ½ pounds shelled edamame
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ medium onion, minced
1 pound grape or cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 pound orecchiette or small shells- multi-grain or whole grain, if possible
2 ounces ricotta salata cheese, finely crumbled or grated- you can substitute with grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese
Salt and pepper
Bring 4 quarts water to boil in a large pot for cooking the edamame and the pasta.
Add the edamame to the boiling water and simmer for two minutes. Transfer the edamame with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Set aside. Keep pot of water on the heat.
Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste and simmer until the tomatoes soften slightly but do not lose their shape, about 4 minutes.
Stir in the edamame. Cook until the beans are completely tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust the seasonings.
Bring the pot of water back to boiling and add the orecchiette or small shells. Cook until al dente and drain.
Toss the pasta with the tomato-edamame sauce and mix well. Divide among individual bowls and sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.

An Herb for Hot Flashes - To Help You Feel Better

Question: Do menopausal symptoms have you "dragging" and feeling less than your usual self? Are you suffering from the dreaded hot flashes or other menopausal discomforts? If your answer is yes to both questions let me introduce you to an herb that may bring you the relief you deserve.
The herb is Liferoot. If you have never heard of this herb before now then join the club, so to speak, because I had no knowledge of the herb until I began my research on natural hot flash remedies.
This is what I've learned from my research and now I want to share the information with you. So here's a bit about the herb. The herb is a perennial wild flower species of the daisy family of plants. It is a native North American species of the daisy family and has an extensive history as an herbal treatment for a variety of gynecological disorders.
From my research I gathered that Native Americans, namely the Catawba women, used the herb as a tea for women facing the pains of childbirth and to hasten labor. Also the colonist used the herb for similar purposes as a "female regulator," so to speak.
This herb has been commonly used for menstrual problems and menopausal discomforts. Also, the plant has been used to treat varied illness, including hemorrhage and colds.
It is a uterine tonic with plant estrogens. It is reported to help balance emotional well-being, vascular stability, regulate irregular periods, and lessen painful or heavy menstrual bleeding.
The herb remedy has a pungent and bitter taste. Its principle use has been to treat female problems including the menstrual cycle. Its use as an herbal remedy has lessened over the years but it is still used to some degree in herbal medicine.
The main, current, use for it as a remedy is to reduce menopausal discomfort. The herb remedy, for menopausal discomfort, has been combined with other herbs such as St. John's wort, Oats or Pasque Flower.
It comes in a tablet, capsule or tincture form. Prior to consuming the herb it is advisable to consult with your natural health holistic practitioner to ensure that you use the herb correctly.
Liferoot is one of many herbs for hot flashes. There are a wide array of herbs to select from in support of reducing your menopausal discomforts so talk with your natural health practitioner to determine which herbs meets your needs.
We as women are all so unique in our physical and emotional needs so you may have to "experiment" if you will with various herbs to determine the one that will help you to feel better.
To your excellent health,
Ameenah

You may have never heard of this herb; that's OK, keep an open mind to what you may need to stop hot flashes naturally. Now this herb is Oat Straw.

I don't know about you but I know that Mother Nature is pretty incredible.So let me tell you what I've learned about this Oat and how it can be used to help you reduced or put an end to your menopausal discomfort.
It is also known as Avena sativa, i.e., meaning nourishing and cultivating, has numerous therapeutic properties and use. It is an annual grass and is in flower during June and July while the seed from the plant ripen from August to October. When the seed is harvested and dried it has a texture similar to flour and has a creamy flavor. The ripe dry stems are used for making the tea or infusion. Oat Straw is also used as a food crop.
Oat Straw reportedly has aided in the treatment of menopause related depression, memory loss, restless legs, or anxiety. It nourishes and balances the hormonal system. Also it is excellent for supporting against osteoporosis which is a common concern among menopausal women. It also aids in the building of strong bones, mental clarity, powerful nervine, i.e., acts therapeutically upon the nerves which is welcomed during the overwhelming challenges of menopause.
A note, after gaining insight into the benefits of this incredible herb I decided to visit my local health food store with the intention of trying it out for myself. By the way, I must admit I have a love affair with my local health food store because I can buy many of the herbs in bulk.
While there my holistic nutritionist informed me of other health benefits of the herb. The benefits work to support menopausal women in the reduction of osteoporosis, depression and nervous exhaustion. In addition, my nutritionist shared with me additional benefits of the herb. Some of the other benefits are boosting the immune system, building bones, supporting pain relief, and lessening those horrific panic attacks while reducing anxiety which are all too commonplace with women who experience menopause.
Additionally, I learned from the information I gained from my visit to the health food store that the Oat is rich in calcium and magnesium. Also, it can be used for both physical and nervous fatigue and is helpful for depression which are common complaints of menopausal women.. Oat Straw also contains B-complex vitamins, silica, calcium,and vitamin A. It seems that Oat Straw is excellent for overall mental and physical well-being...yep! Oak Straw is another gift from nature to keep our bodies, mind and spirit functioning optimally....thank you Mother Nature for looking out for us.
Oak Straw can be taken as an alcohol tincture, as a tea, or even in your bath. For the bath you would use approximately 1 pound Oat Straw to 2 quarts boiling water and leave for 30 minutes. Initially, I plan to use Oat Straw in my bath in an effort to achieve the ultimate in relaxation as well as in tea form.

Relief for Menopause Hot Flashes

At 41 years of age, I was put into surgical menopause due to a rare type of tumor that presented as being cancerous. I had my ovaries, uterus and cervix removed. I had read about the symptoms I was going to have to deal with, and had actually begun to experience some of the symptoms of premenopausal, and seemed to be managing just fine, so how much worse could it be?I will always remember that first moment after surgery, and instantly feeling that I was lacking estrogen. The hot flashes were immediate and intense! They would come out of no where, with no warning, and make me feel as if someone started a fire a little too close to me.
Due to the fact that I had to wait for the biopsy results, I couldn't start estrogen replacement therapy, so I had no choice but to just deal with it. My only relief was a fan and a light nightie, heaven forbid if anyone put a blanket on me! Having to wait to start the therapy, as well as try to manage the symptoms, really began to take a toll, and my patience was running thin to put it mildly!
Not only was I still dealing with the post surgery recovery, but the continued and increasing menopause symptoms. Mood swings, irritability and insomnia to name a few.
Night time had to be the worst when trying to fall asleep. Tired from the day because it now seemed that I lacked energy, I couldn't wait to get to bed. The restlessness though caused by the hot flashes made sleeping near impossible, or at least being able to sleep for more than a couple hours consistently. Then once asleep only to wake in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat soaked pajamas! Then the whole rigmarole of getting up, getting changed, possibly even having to change the bedding, which of course only led to feeling irritable and cranky in the morning from the lack of sleep. This was the vicious cycle that continued for months!
My children and spouse were of course on the receiving end of my moodiness and I knew I had to find a solution, or at the very least a way to manage the symptoms.
I have always believed that everything happens for a reason, even this surgery, and now I know why. It was a friend, (whom is now my business partner) that suggested I try sleeping on a sheepskin bed pad. At the time I thought she was crazy. Seriously, Wool? Let's just add some fuel to my already burning fire! How could sheepskin possibly help me? She went on to explain how sheepskin has this amazing ability to regulate body temperature, so you are always kept at a perfect temperature. The sheepskin will keep you cool if that is what you're needing. The sheepskin fibres also absorb moisture so your kept dry and comfortable.
Well to my amazement it actually worked! Like a welcome breeze! (I must of course give note here, that sheepskin is also incredibly soft and comfortable).
Since then I have wanted to spread the word about sheepskin and the health benefits it offers.
I hope anyone who is suffering from menopause symptoms will try sheepskin and get back to enjoying life.
http://www.holysheepskin.com/ offers an array of authentic sheepskin products.
We offer a full line of medical grade sheepskin, for the prevention and treatment of bed sores, as well as sheepskin pads for those needing comfort and support. At HolySheep Skin, we are passionate about the health benefits sheepskin offers, and want to share the knowledge we have gained, and continue to gain about those benefits. We offer articles that specifically address health concerns, and how sheepskin can aid.
