Hot flashes? anyone know a herbal remedy that works? Tried black cohosh, but it made no difference. Have you tried anything that worked for you.
there are few things I can say.
is first black cohosh. It's good for hot flashes, but you take him for two months at a time with one month break between each cycle.
agnus castus is a hormone balancer best it can be taken as soon as women start their period.
sage leaf is an herb dryin which means it prevents the sweat glands on the production.
and red clover as this will give you the return you lose estrogen.
Go talk to a counselor at Holland and Barrett - one of the first things we learn in our training and one of the most requested topics.
Estrogen patches is what worked for me
You may find it useful, but agnus castus 300 units of vitamin E per day have been shown in studies to be most helpful for hot flashes - significantly reduces or eliminates. Although not herbal, may be worth trying.
I treat postmenopausal women with homeopathy and find the right homeopathic remedy for them - even if a challenge, works wonders. Jump to http://www.homeopathy-soh.org/ to find a local practitioner
it could be your thyroid .. go see a doctor. breathe deeply, antidepressants, medication nerve
I tried black cohosh. He worked for a while, but no more.
My doctor suggested HRT but it is only delaying the inevitable. You still have to go through so hot when you stop the HRT and you really can go on HRT for 2 years.
I prefer to finish now.
Hello.
There are many treatments HRT not on the market - I'll put a link.
The most effective ones contain plant estrogens - though in practice there is little difference between them and HRT - the people who use, for example, black cohosh are at risk of adverse effects even that HRT.
A prescription only med - clonodine - can help a little, but the best treatment is HRT - HRT has risks of course very important and I am prescribed much less of it now than I did five years ago.

I suffer from hot flashes, and I find that if i dont wear sleeves tree - its easier to cool when I have a flush! I also found some using sleeping on my pillow, helped me sleep better and have less hot sweats. Good luck! xxxxxx
Oh dear, in the few weeks I was told "responses of health:" I had my eyes really opened. I had no idea that this high percentage of people are naive enough to believe in myths, patented drugs pot, illegal drugs, illegally purchased prescription only drugs, charlatans and just plain crooks, purporting or pretending that they can correct them.
The problem is that to be admitted to the market most of these preparations should prove that you're not very likely to drop dead soon after you take them! Once this is established, they appear to be legally able to do any wild and unsubstantiated claim that they love!
Sorry to say this, but it is unlikely that you'll benefit unless you turn to more conventional drugs. HRT is unpopular, you do not give your age, may not begin until you are 50 years or more. Although it is now regarded as one response to a short-term use.
Other options are clondine and B-blockers. Go see your GP and a cat.
Try to get the dye Sage It can run on a cheap
but it works.
Also try drinking apple cider vinegar in the water you may need to add the honey if you do not like the tangy taste
I spent a fortune on herbal remedies for hot flashes stop you name it I tried for 2 years nothing W.
