Hot flashes. Probably the most famous of all the menopause symptoms. But what if you could do away with them just by breathing a certain way? No pills, no hormones, just breathing.It's called paced respiration, and the women who practice it can usually cut their number of hot flashes in half. Nobody really knows how or why this breathing technique works, but it does.
Paced Breathing
Sit in a quiet place
Inhale for 5-8 seconds while pushing stomach muscles out
Exhale for 5-8 seconds while pulling stomach muscles in & up
Repeat until you feel better or for about 15 minutes
