One evening not long after I had my prophylactic oophorectomy, I was so desperate for relief from my middle-of-the-night menopause hot flash that I decided to Google it.
I laughed and cried at the same time when I thought at first glance that I’d found my solution: “For natural relief from menopausal symptoms, simply put open the freezer and stick your head inside.”
Ten years later, I’m happy to report that there are many more options out there aside from sticking your head in the freezer! Check out my latest finds and I hope you find cool relief–and even look great doing it!
Pass the Patch, Please
These hot flash hemp-infused patches by The Good Patch ($16 for four patches) offer a steady release of premium hemp extract and other key ingredients over eight to 12 hours. Just peel and place one patch on the abdomen, ensuring the area is clean and dry. The patch may be worn for up to 12 hours. All done? Simply peel the patch off.
