Natural remedies for night sweats that may surprise you

Do you suffer from night sweats or hot flashes? If so, then you know how miserable they can be! But instead of talking about what causes night sweats—and the frustrations of excessive sweating—I'm going to offer you some natural remedies. Some may surprise you!

I personally suffer from night sweats and hot flashes, and for me the most annoying thing is waking up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat and scurrying to a "dry patch" because my sheets are soaked. The next morning isn't fun either, because to be honest, I don't always have time to do laundry every day - and I don't have any maternity sheets either!

I'm saving the best for last, so let's start with several herbal (herbal) remedies that can cool your system and increase oxygen delivery while replacing vitamin B, vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium (which can be depleted by hot flashes). Some of these nutrients can also be found in food or by taking supplements. You could try:

• Dong Quai: Ein Emmenagogum, von dem berichtet wurde, dass es hilft, Wechseljahresbeschwerden wie Hitzewallungen sowie mentale und emotionale Verstimmungen zu lindern.
• Traubensilberkerze: Wird zur Behandlung von Dysmenorrhoe und Menopause verwendet. Klinische Studien haben gezeigt, dass es Hitzewallungen und Depressionen lindert.
• Süßholzwurzel: Es wird angenommen, dass es Östrogen reduziert und gleichzeitig Progesteron erhöht. Diese Wurzel ist sehr stark und nützlich bei der Behandlung einer Reihe von Erkrankungen wie weiblichen Hormonproblemen, Bauchschmerzen, Schlaflosigkeit, Infektionen, Magengeschwüren und Malaria.
• Mutterkraut: Lindert viele Symptome wie Häufigkeit und Dauer von Hitzewallungen, gestresste Nerven und Schlaflosigkeit und Angstzustände. Salbei & Alfalfa: Eine Studie aus dem Jahr 2005 an der School of Public Health der Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane ergab, dass Salbei in einer kontrollierten Studie und Luzerne reduzierten schwere Hitzewallungen um 60 % im Vergleich zu einem Placebo.
• Evamist Spray: Das von Dr. John Buster, einem reproduktiven Endokrinologen am Women and Infants Hospital, entwickelte Buster-Spray wird auf natürliche Weise hergestellt und ist eine Alternative zu Östrogenpflastern, -pillen und -gelen. Sie halten das Spray einfach an Ihre Haut, das Hormon wird vom Körper absorbiert und die Hitzewallungen werden wahrscheinlich verblassen.

(Editor's note: If you have a nutritionist or herbalist, discuss your options before trying herbal remedies. As with any medication, herbs are quite powerful and a particular one may be better for you than another.)

And now for the most exciting cure of all! Bamboo leaves! I know it probably sounds a little crazy, but when you understand the properties of bamboo sheets, you'll see why they make all the difference in the world if you suffer from night sweats.

As I mentioned above, my frustration comes when I wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat, but bamboo panels have brought me great comfort and peaceful sleep. Why? Although I still have night sweats, my sweat is absorbed and wicked away so quickly that I don't wake up in a puddle. Instead, I wake up with a damp layer of sweat and the sheets above and below me about 10% damp versus 100% soaked. I just roll over to the other side of the bed and within an hour the sweat is literally gone - it has vanished into thin air!

You may be thinking, "But you still need to wash your sheets because they're damp. They'll smell like sweat!" You're wrong. Another wonderful feature of bamboo sheets is that they are odor resistant! (We've conducted case studies on bamboo socks, t-shirts, and sheets and found this fabric to be odor resistant even in the worst circumstances.) Also:

OAbsorb sweat and wick it away.Bamboo fabric is made from viscose from bamboo. The individual fibers have cross sections filled with micro-holes and micro-gaps, allowing bamboo fabric to absorb 3-4 times the moisture of cotton. This same quality gives it its amazing wicking abilities.

OThermally regulate.Bamboo fabric stays 2-3 degrees cooler in warmer temperatures and 2-3 degrees warmer in cold temperatures.

These features alone make bamboo sheets the best natural remedy for night sweats, but you'll also find that bamboo sheets are the softest sheets you've ever slept on, and they're antimicrobial and hypoallergenic! Try them!
