Help for Turning Down the Temperature,
This review is from: Hot Flashes: 21 Non-Hormonal Strategies to Put Out the Fire (Paperback)
In Julie Calligaro's new book she presents helpful information and practical tips on managing menopausal hot flashes. It's a quick read that describes non-hormonal and non-prescription strategies for the woman who wants to exert some control over the intensity and duration of her hot flashes. The author presents research on a variety of pertinent topics, including the use of plants and plant extracts for treatment, in a straightforward, easy-to-understand manner. She offers the reader a plan and an array of possible remedies. Reading this book was two hours well-spent. It inspired me to take control and put my own personal cooling plan into action.

A practical manual to assist the menopausal woman to greater comfort during her change of life,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hot Flashes: 21 Non-Hormonal Strategies to Put Out the Fire (Paperback)
"Hot Flashes: 21 Non-Hormonal Strategies to Put Out the Fire" is a tool to empower women to survive menopause by giving tips to help women control their hot flashes, or 'put out the fire.' The author, Julie Calligaro, is a former nurse and practicing attorney, and an author of several other self-help books for women. In brief, Calligaro begins by suggesting that the woman begin by establishing a baseline of frequency, duration, severity, and triggers of her hot flashes, then try any or all of the following approaches: Paced breathing, regular exercise, black cohash, red clover, soy foods, acupuncture, avoidance of triggers, cessation of smoking, reduce weight until achieving a health weight, bathing/showering in tepid water, and lowering the temperature of surroundings, especially the bedroom. Additionally, these are 10 cooling strategies suggested: Wear cotton, not wool or synthetics. Dress in layers. Wear sleepwear that wicks sweat away from the skin. Carry a pocket fan. Have fans positioned around home and workplace. Meditate. Do yoga. Adjust your attitude about menopause. Use BeKool Hot Flash gel sheets for immediate cooling. Wear kleenex in your bra. Calligaro's final suggestion to the reader is to maintain regular physical checkups, pap smears, and breast exams. "Hot Flashes" is a practical manual to assist the menopausal woman to greater comfort during her change of life.

Relief!,
By Sandy L. (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hot Flashes: 21 Non-Hormonal Strategies to Put Out the Fire (Paperback)
I've been bothered by hot flashes on and off for quite some time and I've been looking for safe but effective ways to reduce them. Julie Calligaro's book has been a huge help to me. The information is clearly written and easy to understand. The methods she describes to reduce hot flashes and the tips she includes to make flashes easier to bear are excellent.
Sandy L.
