Stay Cool During Menopause: Acupuncture + Cucumber & Mint Detox Water for Hot Flashes

Why This Works:

✔ Cucumber – Naturally hydrating and rich in silica, which supports skin health and reduces internal heat.
✔ Mint – A cooling herb in TCM that helps relieve hot flashes and calms the digestive system.
✔ Lemon – Balances pH levels and provides antioxidants to reduce inflammation.
✔ Chia Seeds (Optional) – Helps retain moisture in the body, preventing dehydration.

Ingredients:

✔ ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
✔ 5–6 fresh mint leaves
✔ ½ lemon, sliced
✔ 2 cups filtered water
✔ 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions:

✔ Add the cucumber, mint leaves, and lemon slices to a large glass or pitcher.
✔ Pour in filtered water and let it infuse for at least 30 minutes (for best results, let it sit in the fridge for a few hours).
✔ Add chia seeds, stir well, and let them soak for 10 minutes before drinking.
✔ Enjoy this refreshing drink throughout the day to stay cool, hydrated, and balanced!
