Exercise
Engaging in regular physical activity will help improve your general health, relieving hot flashes or making them feel less intense.
Some studies found that women who regularly did physical exercises, like yoga, five days a week for at least an hour reduced the frequency of their hot flashes.
You should try to get at least two-and-a-half hours of moderate aerobic activity each week and do muscle-strengthening exercises two days a week.
Chasteberry
Chasteberry, aka vitex, is a unique herb for hormonal balance that can reduce your hot flashes.
A 2019 study found that women who used chasteberry as a supplement experienced relief from menopausal symptoms, with hot flashes being among them.
Another study also found benefits from applying a chasteberry/essential oil cream. Impressively, 33% of women cited significant improvements in hot flashes and night sweats, while 36% reported moderate relief.
That said, a few other studies found no differences between the chasteberry and placebo groups, so the official verdict on this one is still out.
