Coping With Menopause Mood Swings And Hot Flashes

The menopausal period is known as a crazy period in the life of a woman. Whatever the conditions and symptoms, every woman has to go through this period and experience the changes.

It is up to her to decide what to do with the symptoms, whether to do nothing and endure what happens, being insane with the insane body, or take steps to cope with the symptoms, handle them calmly and try to keep sane in this period of her life.

The two major symptoms that a woman faces during her menopause period are sudden hot flashes and mood swings. Here we will discuss both of them and suggest ways to cope with them.

First of all let’s look at hot flashes. The hot flashes can be really irritating for a woman experiencing them.

These result in the sudden sweating of the body, leading to disturbed sleep and discomfort. Since they are hot flashes, the best way to cope with them is by using something that is the opposite of hot. Yes, a menopausal woman should use something cold.

Trying to keep ice in hand, or shifting the pillow while sleeping, as well as taking a cold shower before going to sleep can be really effective in helping a woman get a good night's sleep without being disturbed by sudden sweating.

It is also important to know what triggers these hot flashes. Experiencing a lot of stress and anxiety or eating spicy food, as well as being in a hot environment can lead to this symptom occurring frequently. To cope with hot flashes these things should be avoided.

The other major symptom is mood swings. A woman having menopause will experience mood swings so frequently that it will be nothing less than a roller coaster ride.

Controlling these is also essential. This can be done by having good relationships with friends and family, trying to spend most of the time being happy. Experiencing stress or being in a gloomy environment can trigger these mood swings.

Similarly, doing exercise on a daily basis can help, along with having a balanced diet and some mineral and vitamin supplements. You need to make sure that you have a diet that fulfills all your needs for minerals and vitamins, without being full of fats.

In the supplement field check out Angelica (Tang Kuei). Many rave about the results they have had with this herb when dealing with hormonal issues.

These steps can surely help to cope with the two major symptoms that are experienced at the time of menopause and allow you to lead a normal life during an abnormal phase.

Even when we try to eat well, we're disadvantaged. The nutritional content of most food has been compromised over the years, not only by deficient soils and modern production, transportation, storage and processing methods, but also by  the enormous amounts of chemical and artificial substances added to promote growth, storage life, taste and appearance.
