One moment you are perfectly comfortable, the next a wave of heat rolls up from nowhere and leaves you flushed and damp. At night it is worse still, tossing off the covers only to reach for them again. Hot flushes and night sweats are among the most wearing companions of menopause — and there is real, gentle help to be had.
Why the heat keeps rising
Flushes and sweats trace back to your changing hormones and the internal thermostat losing its steady footing:
- Shifting oestrogen levels, which unsettle the brain temperature control so it overreacts to tiny changes.
- A hormonal system out of its old rhythm, swinging rather than gliding through the day.
- Stress and a frayed nervous system, which lower the threshold at which a flush is triggered.
The short version: flushes are a thermostat thrown off by shifting hormones — steady the hormones and calm the system, and the heat eases.
