If you’re plagued with hot flashes, you’re desperate for nrelief. Here’s a natural and safe alternative (to taking hormones) to nreduce hot flashes.

This safe, natural alternative is “paced breathing”. Professor
Robert Freedman of Wayne State University School of
Medicine in Detroit has been studying hot flashes for over
25 years. Dr. Freedman’s studies demonstrate that paced nbreathing can reduce hot flashes by as much as 50%.

Here is how to “pace” your breathing.

Take slow, deep, full breaths - gently expanding (inhaling) nand contracting (exhaling) your abdomen at the rate of 6 to
8 breaths per minute rather than the average of 15-16 nbreaths per minute.

Focus on the air going in and out. Inhale slowly and deeply nthrough your nose for five seconds and then exhale slowly nand completely for five seconds.

When you inhale, breathe into the bottom part of your lungs n(your upper lungs and chest will fill up automatically).
Your abdomen should expand as you breathe in and contract as nyou breathe out.

As you inhale and exhale keep your rib cage still.
Practice every morning and evening for 15 minutes.

When you feel a hot flash coming on, pace your breathing until nit passes.

Don't forget your regular check-ups, pap smears and breast nexams. nnnÓ Julie A. Calligaro 2007-All Rights Reserved
