​ Licorice Root for hot flashes

17 Jun 2021 by Ted Escobedo   1 min read
Not only is it hot outside, if you are a woman of a certain age, it may be hot inside as well. Hot flashes are caused by fluctuating hormones that are typical for women going through menopause. In addition to warm weather, various things can trigger a hot flash including spicy foods, hot beverages, alcohol, taking a hot bath or sauna, and smoking.

If you are experiencing hot flashes, consider taking Licorice Root Extract.

A 2012 study found that menopausal women who took 330 milligrams (mg) of licorice extract three times daily for 8 weeks reduced the severity and frequency of hot flashes. Benefits typically lasted for 2 weeks after women stopped using the supplement. Licorice root contains phytoestrogens.
