Here are 7 lifestyle choices that help reduce or prevent hot flushes that women experience during menopause:

Dressing matters

Dress in layers, so that you can remove clothes as needed. Wear natural fabrics such as cotton.

Less stress helps

Reduce stress with the help of relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises and yoga. Keep ice water or a cold beverage handy.

Nice shower works

Take a nice shower before going to bed.

Bed sheets matter

Make sure that you use cotton bed sheets or blankets.

Cool your body temperature

When hot flushes appear, try to cool the body temperature with sprays or moist wipes.

Stay away from hot flush triggers

Avoiding hot flush triggers such as spicy food, alcohol, hot weather, sauna, stress, anger and cigarettes helps you a great deal in managing hot flushes.

Ayurveda can do wonders

Ayurvedic herbs such as Brahmi, Ashoka, Shatavari, and supplements of isoflavones are highly effective in reducing hot flushes.
Most women would benefit a great deal from the remedies mentioned above. However, if your hot flushes are severe and you do not get the relief that you are looking for, your doctor may suggest a limited course of hormone replacement therapy to make your menopause easy.
