Thank you,

Yes, have heard of Maca powder…others in my studio take it as well…and I’m looking forward to the other benefits I’ve been told that it brings..:)

I recently attempted a 30 day challenge as an introduction to bikram hotyoga. I am 53 years old, and had not experienced any significant issues with menopause. At about Day 8 I noticed that I was getting hot flushes including excessive sweating and night sweats. I remember sitting with a girlfriend over coffee and proceeding to tell her about it when it happened…a hot flush…prickling feeling and then sweat started pouring down my forehead and my armpits immediately became drenched. My friend was shocked..and asked if I thought it was menopause. I asked another friend who was a yoga instructor and has practiced yoga for 30 odd years…although not bikram hot yoga. She suggested I ease off…and if these symptoms continued…to seek some homeopathic advice…I must add that I also asked my hotyoga instructor…who said it might pay to ease off as well….So, after 17 days I decided to take a break…for a week…and then to ease back into my bikram hotyoga practice at 3 or 4 sessions per week….the hot flushes have gone…I’m not sure whether this helps with your situation…but I am not a person that normally sweats except when doing strenuous activity…so we have that in common…I have my own theory which works for me….I think that my body would remember the intensity of the heat and something would trigger me to have a hot flush and sweating…like drinking coffee…I think now that my body is becoming attuned to it…so is settling down….
