New natural solution for hot flashes

1. Why do hot flashes disrupt daily life?

Menopause is a natural stage in a woman's life, but it comes with many inconveniences. Among them, hot flashes are at the top of the list: they are those sudden sensations of intense heat, often accompanied by night sweats, palpitations, and insomnia.

A 50-year-old woman is the center of the image, seen in profile. She is holding her head in her hands because she is crying. She is suffering from menopausal mood swings. She is sitting at a desk.

These symptoms affect quality of life daily:

Increased fatigue due to lack of sleep.
Stress and irritability linked to hormonal fluctuations.
Social embarrassment when a hot flash occurs in public.

It is estimated that more than 80% of menopausal women suffer from hot flashes. Yet, few natural and effective solutions exist today.

2. The limitations of traditional solutions for hot flashes

Hormonal treatments: effectiveness but risks

For years, doctors have prescribed hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to reduce menopause symptoms. While it remains effective, it presents increased risks of breast cancer and cardiovascular diseases, making it unsuitable for every woman.

Existing natural methods and their limitations

Many women turn to natural solutions such as:

Sage or red clover herbal teas.
Soy isoflavone-based dietary supplements.
Relaxing essential oils.

Although these methods may provide slight relief, they often remain insufficient against intense and recurring hot flashes.

3. Héra: an innovative natural solution for menopause

The French startup Athana has developed a unique solution: Héra, the first portable cryotherapy device designed to relieve hot flashes without hormones, without chemicals, and 100% natural.

How does portable cryotherapy work?

Cryotherapy is a scientific method based on exposure to cold. With Héra, this technology is miniaturized into a compact device that delivers controlled cold down to 5°C.

Simply place the device on a thermosensitive area (neck, face, wrists) and in less than 10 seconds only, the effect is immediate:

Body temperature drops.
The sensation of heat disappears.
The body returns to a natural thermal balance.

Héra is placed on a pink stand with captions indicating: patented cryotherapy technology, portable format, long-lasting battery. The image is clear and informative.

Scientifically proven benefits

6. Athana’s ethical and sustainable commitments

Athana is not just a simple tech startup: it is a company committed to transforming women's health while respecting the planet and society. Every step, from design to the commercialization of its products, is based on strong values.

Eco-responsibility: preserving the planet while innovating

In a world where the ecological impact of technological products is often overlooked, Athana chooses eco-responsibility.

Héra devices are manufactured from recycled plastics to limit the use of virgin resources.
The local production in France reduces CO₂ emissions related to transport.
The packaging is designed to be minimalist and recyclable, avoiding the superfluous.

This approach aims to prove that it is possible to innovate in the medical and technological field while respecting our environment.

Social impact: supporting integration and inclusion

Athana believes in the power of innovation to transform not only women's health but also society. A portion of the Héra device assembly is entrusted to workshops employing people with disabilities.

This commitment allows:

Offering employment opportunities to people often excluded from the job market.
Participating actively in an inclusive and solidarity-based economy.
Giving extra meaning to every product sold, by contributing to a social mission.

Useful innovation: products designed for real life

Athana refuses "gadget" innovation. Every research project, prototype, and product developed must meet a concrete need of women.

Héra was designed in collaboration with doctors, engineers, and users to guarantee a truly effective device.
The goal is to improve women's daily lives, not just to offer a trendy product.
Customer feedback is taken into account to continuously improve the technology and adapt it to real needs.

Thus, Athana proves that it is possible to put technology at the service of humanity, without compromise.

Scientific transparency: sharing to advance research

One of Athana's strongest commitments is its desire to contribute to medical and scientific research.

The data collected via the Héra app is anonymized and secured.
It is then transmitted to laboratories and researchers specializing in women's health.
This approach allows for a better understanding of menopause, the development of new solutions, and the acceleration of medical advancements.

Unlike other companies that keep their results confidential, Athana relies on transparency and scientific collaboration.

7. Why was Héra created?

The story of Héra is above all a personal one, born from an urgent need and filial love.

The founder of Athana, Thaddée Caron, saw his mother suffer for years from intense hot flashes linked to menopause. Existing hormonal solutions were risky, and natural alternatives too limited to restore her true quality of life.

Faced with this situation, he decided to take on a challenge: to create an innovative, natural, and safe solution capable of effectively relieving millions of women worldwide.

For two years, Thaddée surrounded himself with engineers, doctors, and designers to develop Héra, a unique portable cryotherapy device.

Héra was therefore not born in an anonymous laboratory, but from a family history and a deep commitment to women's health.

9. FAQ: Menopause and natural solutions

1. How to naturally relieve hot flashes?

Hot flashes are one of the most common and disabling symptoms of menopause. Several solutions exist to alleviate them naturally:

Adjust your diet: prioritize foods rich in phytoestrogens (soy, flaxseeds, chickpeas), and reduce caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods that aggravate hot flashes.
Adopt a healthy lifestyle: practice regular physical activity and focus on relaxation (yoga, meditation, breathing).
Try medicinal plants: sage, red clover, black cohosh... some women find partial relief, although results vary.
Use targeted cryotherapy with Héra: this innovative device provides immediate relief in just a few seconds, without medication or hormones.

2. How long do hot flashes last?

The duration of hot flashes varies greatly from one woman to another:

On average, they last between 2 and 7 years.
For about 20% of women, they can persist for more than 10 years.
In rare cases, some women report symptoms even after the age of 70 or 80.

Their intensity is not constant: they may be very frequent at the beginning and then gradually decrease. Natural solutions like Héra help reduce the discomfort they cause in daily life.

3. Do all women experience menopause in the same way?

No. Every woman experiences menopause in a unique way:

Some only feel small, occasional hot flashes.
Others suffer from a combination of symptoms: insomnia, night sweats, joint pain, mood swings, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, anxiety...
The age at which menopause occurs also influences symptoms: premature menopause (before age 40) can be more abrupt.

4. Why avoid hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?

HRT (hormone replacement therapy) remains effective for some women, but it also carries documented risks:

Increased risk of certain cancers (breast, endometrial).
Cardiovascular risks (thrombosis, stroke).
Possible side effects: headaches, nausea, bleeding, leg swelling.

Many women now prefer to turn to natural solutions like Héra, which offer immediate relief without hormonal side effects.

5. Is Héra reimbursed by social security?

Currently, Héra is not reimbursed by Social Security or health insurance plans. However, the startup Athana offers:

A “30-day money-back guarantee,” allowing you to test it risk-free.
A 2-year manufacturer’s warranty.
A permanent promo code (MENO10) for 10% off.

Even without official reimbursement, Héra remains an accessible alternative compared to the repeated costs of certain ineffective medications or supplements.

6. Can Héra completely replace medical treatment?

No. Héra is not a medical device, but a natural wellness solution. It:

Effectively relieves symptoms related to hot flashes.
Improves daily comfort and quality of life.
Can be used in conjunction with medical care.

It does not replace a treatment prescribed by a doctor for complicated menopause, but it constitutes a natural and innovative alternative for anyone wishing to avoid or reduce hormonal treatments.
