Aromatherapy: Clary sage essential, used in a home diffuser, may help ease the hot flashes,says San Francisco herbalist Jeanne Rose, chair person of the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy and author of aromatherapy: application and Inhalations . For portable relief, she suggests carrying a handkerchief scented with a drop of clary sage and inhaling whenever you fell a flush coming on. Keeping the handkerchief in a plastic bag, so the smell doesn't dissipate. Ayurveda: For hot flashes, David Frawley, O.MD., director of the american Institute of Vedic Studies in Sante Fe, New Mexico, recommends swallowing a teaspoon or two of aloe vera gel before esch meal and before going to bed at night. " It's very cooling to the whole system," he says. Be sure to purchase the aleo vera gel that is intended for external use; ask your Ayurvedic practitioner or herblist to recommend a brand that won't have a laxative side effect. It's avalable in most health food stores. "For most women, the emotional issues surrounding menopause are at least as difficult as the physica systoms," says eve Campanelli, Ph.D., a holistic family practitioner in Beverly Hill, California. She recommend the remedy Walnut. " Menopausal women are entering a new phase of their lives, and Walnut help them achieve emotional balance the transition," says Dr Campanelli.

Answer 3

I use soy products and cut back on sugar. I found that almost eliminating sugar works best for me. Drink a lot of cold beverages as that also seems to help, as do sugar free Popsicles.

Answer 4

Exercise, avoid caffeine and excess sugar but most important... Talk to your doctor and read everything you can find on the internet. Soy in addition to the other recommendations might work.

Answer 5

I did a cleanse program from a company that also has specific things for men and women. I'm 23, and my mom is actually going through menopause right now and taking what they call "Essentials for Women" and says that it's controlled her "heat waves" better than anything else she's taken. She won't take anything synthetic, so I take her word for it. Email me through my profile link if you want more info on any of this. Good luck!
