Q: What is the answer for hot flashes?
A: First of all, there is no "recipe" treatment for hot flashes.
Every woman has a different balance of hormones. Testing the hormones is the best way to find out hormone levels. Saliva hormone
tests are used because they are the only tests that show the amount of active hormone in the body.
The treatment
may be natural remedies to support the adrenal stress hormones, herbal remedies,
nutritional support, or bio-identical
hormones.
When you are tested, the correct treatment can be used for your specific hormone imbalance. Without testing,
you are just guessing.
Having a deficiency of hormones can bring on osteoporosis, premature aging, digestive problems,
increased allergies to foods, weaken the immune system, decrease stamina, increase insomnia,
memory problems, and many
more menopausal symptoms.
Too much hormone can bring higher risk of breast cancer, blood clots, stroke and other
health issues.
That is why testing the hormones are so important. If you have the correct balance, you can stay
healthy and decrease risk of chronic disease.
