Patrick -
Thank you for the photos, so . . yes, the ring is present around the outside of the iris, I highly suspected, so few of us without this anymore. In general, it may mean that the body is having to work harder to break a sweat, and, yes, hot flashing will be ever so not comfortable for awhile. Anything that addresses the cleaning up or thinning out of the lymph system, any activity that makes us break a sweat more regularly ( sauna, exercise, being outdoors in the sun.. ) will begin to help. Cold showers, year round is what took things to the next level for me. I will never go back to warm/hot showers. It is the one thing I would recommend, along with diligent attention to the lengthening of the breath. Proper hydration, cleaning up the diet, attention to the quality of foods consumed - eating more raw than cooked foods : fruits, vegetables, salads, smoothies, nuts&seeds, etc.. With few exceptions, such as the potato, we lose a lot of our nutrition through cooking and as we age deficiencies can make or break us.
So - when the body wants/needs to release waste through ANY of the gates : the eyes, nose, mouth, ears, peri-region and skin : support rather than suppress the process. Get everything in there that needs to come out -- out! by all means. It is really fun, actually, once you get into the swing of it. You begin to feel so good! so much better than you were. And stronger! You begin to feel your adamantine nature. It truly is a rush. The more your wife works to promote the sweating, the easier the body will sweat and the more pleasant the flashes will grow to be. I'd fathom that at a minimum, 50% of the difficulty with hot flashes is we ourselves working against them, trying to stop them, because we do not like to sweat, or it is inconvenient and we are concerned for how may look or be perceived. Work with the body, and not against it and it will be a glorious home to live in truly for as long as we wish.
If any of this sounds feasible, I am here to talk.
