What helps with hot flushes?
What the National Institute on Aging suggests, and why identifying your own triggers matters more than a general list.
Hot flushes are among the most commonly reported symptoms of the menopause transition, and their intensity and duration vary enormously between people. Some notice very little; for others they disrupt sleep for years.
The practical suggestions from the National Institute on Aging centre on things you can control: dressing in layers, keeping the bedroom cool, and noticing what tends to precede a flush. Warm drinks, spicy food, alcohol, caffeine and stress are commonly reported triggers, but they are not universal, which is why keeping your own note is more useful than a generic list.
