Episodic hot flashes may result from factors such as an unbalanced diet, excessive physical exertion, excessively high ambient temperature, or common cold. If body temperature remains normal, autonomic nervous system dysfunction—particularly menopausal hot flashes—is often the underlying cause, commonly occurring in perimenopausal women and frequently accompanied by other symptoms including insomnia and decreased libido. For this condition, treatment primarily focuses on nourishing the liver and kidneys and relieving emotional constraint (stagnation). Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Rehmannia Six Formula) and Jia Wei Xiao Yao Wan (Augmented Rambling Powder) may be used for regulation.
