Never get them

I am not there yet but I have read that the herb Black Cohosh helps those symptoms.

To treat the menopausal symptoms HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is helpful. Consult your doctor, you would get the required advice.

Hot flashes relate to your body decrease in estrogen secretions. You may consider Acupuncture or hormone treatment. Be awared that Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is now viewed as not good for women although for years we have been using HRT for the treament of hot flashes. Herbal products have helped some females. Eating extra red meat may help (but makes you gain weight). Remember calcium supplement may help a little bit too! Best wishes!!

There is a natural hormonal therapy. Also a fan, wet wash cloth, or ice. These will all help since it is a reaction to a loss of hormones.

was on hrt for 3 yrs had to stopped after the big media medical report, tried natural supplement i.e. Estroven, progestine cream, melatonin & now benadryl a night. The main culprit for me is sugar & carbs....no sweets after 8:00 p.m. Make sure your bedroom is cool with a good fan and a glass of water with ice nearby and the extra light cotton nightie to replace it after you wake up dredge in your sweat. It's tough but count your blessings when you only wake up once during one night! Hang on!

well im in the perimenopause (im 43) so im nearly there. even though ive just had a hysterectomy and they left my ovaries i still get hot flushes which make me feel sick. im not allowed to take hrt cos there is breast cancer in the family.

ive heard that black coshe (not sure of spelling) is good even though i havent tried it.
