Menopod is not a wearable, but a carry-able to put in your purse and whip out when you are feeling the heat.

It’s the band aid on the cut as opposed to avoiding the cut in the first place. Given that hot flashes are known to lead to an elevation in cortisol levels, heart rate, and inflammation which translates to an association with vascular damage, heart disease, bone loss, breast cancer, weight gain, sleep disruption, and cognitive impairment, I personally think it is better to eliminate the hot flash rather than make you feel better once it has happened. Any woman who has severe hot flashes will tell you that the heat wave is inevitably followed by a shivering cooling phase since your body naturally tries to cool off.Ĭooling devices basically cool you down once the flash as occurred to make you feel more comfortable. While feeling more comfortable is a really good thing, it is NOT the same as eliminating the flash.
#EMBR WAVE BRACELET FOR HOT FLASHES SKIN#
When you have a hot flash, your core body temperature goes up, the blood vessels in your skin dilate, your skin also gets warm, and you sweat. The problem is, like every other OTC product, no studies are required to substantiate these claims, so they can, and do, say whatever they want. A quick internet search of “menopause cooling products” generates not only hundreds of portable air conditioners, cooling mattresses, vests and collars, but also a new wave of pricey devices that promise to cool you off 24/7. What about putting out the fire with a cooling device? You have spent a months salary on all manner of herbs, spices and products recommended by the experts at Whole Foods and even though you are still waking up every hour on the hour, you are are not ready to bite the bullet and get a non-hormonal or hormonal prescription remedy.
