Night sweats in elderly women usually happen during the menopausal stage. In most women, it will occur anywhere from their mid-40s to their late 50s and in very rare cases, age 35. This whole process happens over a 2 to 10 year period and it can be extremely overwhelming if not treated correctly. I'm going to briefly disclose some information that will most likely help you during this stage.

Why They Happen
During menopause, a major change in hormones will occur in the woman's body causing the hormones to become imbalanced, thus, leading to extra side effects such as mood swings, anxiety, hot flashes in the daytime, fatigue, vaginal dryness, weight gain, and water retention. This shift in hormones causes adrenaline glands in the body to randomly push out unneeded energy causing the body to erratically sweat.

Supplements to Help
Black cohosh, red clover, and Damiana are all great drugstore products that can help through menopause. Red clover and Black cohosh will reduce hot sweats very effectively. Damiana is recommended to boost intimacy because menopause often causes the woman to become less intimate. I recommend speaking with your doctor or physician before trying any because, even an all-natural supplement can have minor side effects.

Eating & Exercising
Maintaining a healthy weight is essential, so you want to add more calcium to your diet, green tea, vegetables high in zinc, and the regular eight glasses of water daily. You want to at least exercise for 30 minutes a day in the form of running, walking, swimming, Pilates, or yoga. All of this will help your menopausal period go by a lot smoother.
