Hot flashes, a common symptom of menopause, are typically experienced as a feeling of intense heat with sweating and rapid heartbeat, and may typically last from two to thirty minutes for each occurrence. The event may be repeated a few times each week or constantly throughout the day, with the frequency reducing over time. Excessive flushing can lead to rosacea, a chronic form of acne affecting the nose, forehead, and cheeks, characterized by red pustular lesions. Some women undergoing menopause never have hot flashes. Others have mild or infrequent flashes. The worst sufferers experience dozens of hot flashes each day. Severe hot flashes can make it difficult to get a full night's sleep, which in turn can affect mood, concentration, and cause other physical problems. When hot flashes occur at night, they are called night sweats. As estrogen is typically lowest at night, a woman might get night sweats without having any hot flashes during the daytime.

Sage tea should be available at a local tea shop, if you have one, or at many other local or national retailers, such as Wal-Mart, Target, or any of the major grocery store chains in your area, as well as online.
