Hello and I sympathize. Been there, done that.

Hot flashes occur in many, but not all, women undergoing menopause.

The following alternative health care tips help a great deal toward providing support for the menopause symptoms one of which is those hot flashes!

Eat a diet consisting of 50 percent raw foods and take a protein supplement to help stabilize blood sugar. Add blackstrap molasses, broccoli, dandelion greens, kelp, salmon with bones, sardines and white fish to your diet.

Severely limit intake of red meat, fried foods. A high-fat diet
produces high estrogen levels, and when you go through menopause, there's a big drop in these hormone levels, setting off a tremendous number of hot flashes.

Avoid dairy products-limit consumption to small amounts of low-fat yogurt or buttermilk. Dairy products and meat promote hot flashes. They also contribute to a loss of calcium from the bones.

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, sugar, spicy foods, and hot soups
and drinks, they can trigger hot flashes, aggravate urinary
incontinence, and make mood swings worse.

They also make the blood more acidic, which prompts the bones to release calcium to act as a buffering agent. This is an important factor in bone loss.

Substitute garlic or onion powder for salt when cooking. Consuming salt increases urinary excretion of calcium.

Drink 2 quarts of quality water each day to help prevent drying of the skin and mucous membranes.

For itching in the vaginal area, use vitamin E cream(with no fragrance added) or open a vitamin E capsule and apply the oil.

Black Cohosh is an herb, can be obtained at your local health store and taken as directed helps to reduce hot flashes.

Whew! That is a bit much isn't it? I hope this helps.

Live long and live strong....

There are all natural hormones that work for me. I am 66 and still have hot flashes. I tried everything. Go to a naturopathic physician. She put me on BI_est & progesterone cream. This is all natural made from plants.
i may get a hot flash when i eat the wrong foods. but not at night . i would be having them every 20-30 minutes. i could seep again
