General Health Information

If you want to steer clear of hot flashes, menopause
becomes a time period of limiting certain types of clothing. To avoid a
hot flash, never wear wool or silk. Choose clothes that are able to
breath such as cotton and dress in layers, so that if you start to get
hot you can strip down to cool off. If you want to avoid hot flashes
and night sweats, wear all cotton pajamas and give up synthetic or silk
sheets. Keep a glass of ice water by the bed and take a drink if you
wake up and feel like you are on the verge of a hot flash.
