Answer 2

I been there done that and it was hell. I tried all alternate therapys too. Make sure you get on natural progesterone cream usp. Make sure if has USP beside the name then you know it is pure and by the drug companies and not diluted. If you read Dr. Lees books he recommend this for any women after 40. If helps regulate the periods too. It did help me. Next, have some soy products everyday. I use Chocolate Silk Soy Milk. It tastes like chocolate milk (not bad). Or you can crunch on roasted soy nuts or eat tofu. This helps. Next, at night lower your thermostat. I keep mine at 60 at night and it helps. Everyone else needs to pile the blankets on though. Talk to a herbalist or at least someone at the Heath Food Store and see what they recommend. Everyone tells you something different but you can try different things and see what works for you. After the period with the hot flashes expect insomnia. It just about killed me. You lay wide awake night after night and every third night you get some rest. I was worn out. It is all caused by the fluctuation of hormones. Those who take hormones don't get these side affects but they can cause cancer. So which is worse. Please be persistant in finding a remedy don't be passive like I was it can ruin your disposition too.

Hot flashes are a symptom of a deeper issue, probably menopause. Homeopathy does not treat symptoms (or shouldn't). It is a medical system that treats people and homeopaths prescribe on what we call the "totality of symptoms". Just "getting rid" of a symptom is what we call suppression, it will manifest in some other form later.
Over the years I have used as many as 10 different remedies to bring different women easily and successfully through the menopause. I am always saying this : you need to have a consultation with a qualified homeopath.

Answer 5

Lots of women swear by soy. Another respondant said soy supplements, but it's said the actual source is best. Shakes made with silken tofu, soy milk, etc. In Japan, where they eat lots of soy and soy products, there is no word for hot flashes.

Answer 6

I was once told by an OB/GYN nurse to try vitamin E and Black Cohosh, since my problem turned out be not hot flashes but high blood sugar I never got a chance to try it. However may be worth a try.

Answer 7

Taking a soy supplement has helped me with night sweats. It works with Calcium tablets + soy, or soy supplements alone. Took about a week or so, but it did help me and a friend I recommended it to try.

Answer 8

Absolutely! Men and women should research Maca and other hormone alternatives. We need to educate ourselves.
