Hot Flash

Blender’s Notes Hot Flash:

Steep Me Self-Help Tea combinations are a wonderful way to get health benefits outside of the standard tea leaf. This tea was developed to help with perimenopause or menopause hot flashes, which can be one of the most uncomfortable and frustrating symptoms. The sudden surges of heat and sweating can disrupt the simplest daily tasks, leaving you feeling drained and overwhelmed. A hot flash is a feeling of sudden, intense heat on the upper body that lasts anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes. Hot flashes are thought to occur when a drop in estrogen (or changes in other hormones) disrupts the body’s natural thermostat, known as the hypothalamus. Other symptoms include sweating, reddening of the skin, headaches, lightheadedness, and heart palpitations. Hot flashes, also known as vasomotor symptoms (VMS), are commonly associated with menopause or Perimenopause but can also be caused by medication side effects, thyroid or pituitary problems, and certain cancers or cancer treatments. Even males with low testosterone can experience hot flashes. Hot flashes are one of the most common symptoms of menopause. In fact, more than 80% of people experience hot flashes during menopause, generally when menopause is first starting. Hot flashes during menopause are due to a decrease in the hormone estrogen. Estrogen has many effects on the human brain and, along with the hormone testosterone, helps regulate a part of the brain called the hypothalamus that acts as the body’s thermostat. When estrogen levels drop, the hormonal imbalance causes the hypothalamus to think the body is hotter than it is. The hypothalamus responds by activating your sweat glands, increasing your heart rate, and widening blood vessels near the surface of the skin to cool the body down. The sudden flush of heat usually starts in the face or chest and can spread throughout the entire body. Episodes can last anywhere from a few seconds to up to 30 minutes. Hot flashes tend to start abruptly and end just as quickly. When hot flashes occur at night, they are commonly referred to as night sweats. Hot Flashes: 10 Causes and How to Cope (verywellhealth.com)

Hot Flash was created to offer gentle, steady support when hot flashes and night sweats make your day feel uncomfortable or unpredictable. If you are enjoying it as a tea, you can prepare it in the morning and sip it gradually throughout the day, adding more water as the herbs continue to infuse. If you are using capsules, you may take them throughout the day according to your needs and comfort level. This blend is meant to help soften the intensity and frequency of hot flashes connected to changing hormone patterns, especially during perimenopause and menopause. Many customers find it most helpful when used before the times they usually notice symptoms, such as stressful moments, warm environments, active parts of the day, or bedtime. If night sweats or interrupted sleep are part of your experience, using Hot Flash as part of a calming evening routine may offer extra support. Once symptoms settle or are no longer bothering you, you can pause regular use and return to the tea or capsules whenever you feel you need them. We began this blend with Peppermint, a familiar and comforting herb known for its bright, cooling feel. During a hot flash, that refreshing sensation can help the body feel cooler and more settled. Peppermint’s naturally occurring menthol activates cold-sensitive receptors, which may make sudden heat feel less intense in the moment. It can also be a helpful companion when hot flashes come with tension headaches, mild nausea, bloating, or digestive upset. Peppermint does not change estrogen levels; instead, it offers quick, soothing comfort when your body feels overheated or unsettled.  Sage, also known as Salvia officinalis, was chosen because of its long history of use for sweating, hot flashes, and night sweats. This can be especially helpful at night, when overheating may interrupt rest and leave you feeling tired the next day. Sage may help reduce the frequency or intensity of sweating while also offering antioxidant and calming support. Its plant compounds may gently support mood, focus, and a steadier stress response during the menopausal transition, helping you feel more balanced as your body moves through hormonal changes. Black Cohosh was included to offer broader support for common menopausal discomforts such as hot flashes, night sweats, restless sleep, mood changes, and fatigue. When nighttime heat becomes less disruptive, sleep may feel deeper and more refreshing. Black Cohosh may also provide gentle support for tiredness, anxious feelings, and brain fog that can follow nights of broken rest. In this blend, it helps support the body through the pattern of heat, restlessness, and low energy that often comes along with menopause. Borage was chosen because it provides gamma-linolenic acid, or GLA, a fatty acid the body can use to make anti-inflammatory compounds. This can be supportive during menopause, when dryness, mood changes, and general sensitivity may become more noticeable. By helping support a healthier inflammatory response, borage may ease some of the background discomfort that can make hot flashes feel more intense or harder to recover from.

Licorice root adds a naturally sweet, grounding quality to the blend while also offering gentle support for stress-related menopausal symptoms. It may be helpful for hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, vaginal dryness, joint aches, and general discomfort. Licorice contains flavonoids and other plant compounds that provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support, and it may also help the body respond more steadily to stress. In this formula, licorice root helps bring warmth, balance, and comfort to the overall blend. Angelica was added as a traditional herb for women’s wellness and menopausal comfort, especially when hot flashes come with mood swings, stress sensitivity, or circulation-related discomfort. Its supportive plant compounds may offer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits while helping the body adapt to times of change. Angelica is often appreciated during transitional seasons of life because it may gently support circulation, mood balance, and the body’s natural response to shifting hormones. Rosemary brings a bright, aromatic lift to the blend along with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support. Its naturally fragrant compounds may create a mild cooling impression that can make hot flashes feel less overwhelming. Rosemary is also traditionally associated with clarity, memory, focus, and a calmer mood, which may be welcome when menopause brings brain fog, anxious feelings, or difficulty concentrating. In this formula, rosemary helps support both physical comfort and a clearer, steadier state of mind. Nettle was included for its nourishing mineral content, flavonoids, and supportive plant compounds. During menopause, fatigue, inflammation, joint discomfort, and energy changes can affect how you feel day by day. Nettle may help support mineral status, ease inflammatory discomfort, and provide gentle support for muscles, joints, and overall resilience. Its nourishing nature makes it a comforting foundation herb when the body feels depleted or easily overwhelmed. Motherwort completes the blend with its traditional use as a calming nervine and heart-supportive herb. It is often chosen when stress, worry, palpitations, restlessness, or sleep disturbance are part of the menopausal experience. Motherwort may help quiet nervous tension, support a calmer evening, and bring comfort when emotional ups and downs or nighttime restlessness make symptoms feel more difficult. Together, these herbs were selected to help you feel cooler, steadier, and more supported as your body moves through this natural transition.
