Every day about 6,000 women in the U.S. enter into menopause. Although it is a natural part of a women’s life, it can often be an uncomfortable time. One of the most common and unwelcomed symptoms of menopause are hot flashes and night sweats. They’re a result of the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that regulates temperature, mistakenly sensing that a woman is too warm resulting in a series of events to cool her down. Lifestyle habits that can help women manage hot flashes include:
- Avoiding food triggers. Caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods and even tight clothing can cause hot flashes in some women.
- Taking time to unwind. The stress hormone cortisol may make some women sensitive to hot flashes.
- Kicking the habit. There’s one more reason to quit smoking! One study found that heavy smokers were four times more likely to have a hot flash than women who never smoked. Women looking to quit can seek support by consulting a health professional to develop a customized tobacco cessation plan. Homeopathic medicines like Lobelia inflata 6C can also help fight those tobacco cravings.*
- Dressing in layers. Wearing lightweight clothes, such as tanks and cardigans, allow you to shed heavier clothing when a hot flash strikes.
- Helping your body the natural way. Homeopathy offers a hormone-free choice for women. Blue tube single medicines such as Glonoinum can offer relief for sudden hot flashes with profuse sweating and a throbbing headache; while Lachesis mutus helps relieve hot flashes and night sweats as well as the associated irritability.* These medicines are also included in Boiron’s Cyclease Menopause. These hormone-free and soy-free tablets help reduce the intensity and frequency of hot flashes, without any known drug interactions.*

Hi Gloria, thanks for your message. Click here for $2 off Cyclease Menopause at CVS.
Hi, My husband had to have his bladder and prostrate removed as a result of aggressive cancer. He never complains about anything but he has had terrible hot flashes ever sense the surgery. The oncologist is keeping his testosterone levels low as a precaution to prevent further cancer. Your product Acteane seems to be helping him to manage the hot flashes better. However, I can’ t seem to find it on your website. He is not a believer in suppliments so when I find him looking for this product I feel it must really work. I am hoping you can help me find it. thank you Merrilea
Hello Merrilea, Acteane is still available but under the new name of Cyclease Menopause. You can order it directly from BoionUSA.com or find it in a store near you. Hope that helps!
