What is a hot flash?

“Hot flash” is a state in which the upper body, especially the head and face, feels like heat. When the symptoms appear in the body, it is called "hot flashes", and conversely, when the lower body feels cold, it is called "cold hot flashes".

Hot flashes are more common in women than in men . In particular, menopausal women are more likely to suffer from hot flashes as one of the symptoms of menopause. If the symptoms are severe, there are cases where not only the upper body is hot, but also the following symptoms.

• headache
• flushing of the face
• sweating
• Bleeding such as nosebleeds
• palpitation
• Feeling dizzy, etc.

Causes of hot flashes

There are four main causes of hot flashes:

• heat and bath
• female hormone imbalance
• tension or stress
• Disorders with hot flashes

If you go out in the hot sun in the summer or take a long bath, you may experience hot flashes temporarily. Also, when female hormones are disturbed, it affects the autonomic nerves, and some people experience symptoms of hot flashes. In particular, many women after childbirth or menopause develop hot flashes because female hormones are easily disturbed .

When tension and stress continue, the autonomic nerves are disturbed and it becomes easier to feel the symptoms of chronic hot flashes. In addition, hot flashes may develop due to diseases such as colds, influenza, hyperthyroidism, and autonomic imbalance.

Tokishakuyakusan is a Chinese herbal medicine that is often used for common women's problems. It can be expected to improve symptoms such as menopausal disorders, prenatal and postnatal disorders, and menstrual pain.
