So, now that I’m in my mid 50’s, I’m experiencing that sudden onset of the feeling of being on fire! I once had a hot flash so intense that I started doing a striptease in a Chicago cab when it was 30 degrees and raining. (Rest assured…I didn’t go all the way)
I’m always a little hesitant to go the “chemical” way before trying out natural remedies so I started doing some research. I started hearing a lot about Ashwagandha, one of the most powerful herbs in Ayurvedic healing. It’s frequently referred to as the Indian “ginseng” because of its rejuvenating properties
Ashwagandha also helps manage menopause symptoms by directly stimulating the central nervous system. Since it is an adaptogen, it works in your brain to reduce cortisol levels. Cortisol is one of the stress hormones in your body, which in high levels causes a person to become increasingly anxious or depressed.
Not only with Ashwagandha help you with hot flashes, it will also help you with stress, inflammation, thyroid dysfunction and allergies.
I take this herb in powder form. I mix it in with my coffee/smoothie. I have to warn you that it doesn’t taste great but I’ve found it more convenient than taking yet another pill. I get mine thru Amazon – here’s the link…

You do have to use it for at least a month before you feel the results. But once you do, you won’t want to skip it! Mine got misplaced in the remodel and I felt “off” until I got my replacement.
Trust me, this works…
