Plus would you be sooo kind as to give me some herbs you have taken THAT WORK FOR HOT FLASHES??? Thanking you in advance!!!
I have been taking over the counter estrovene for about 6 months and when I first started taking it, it worked but here lately (the past week or two) it seems to not be working. I am fearful of hormones because my grandmother had breast cancer, my mother died 9 years ago from breast cancer and both of them took hormones during their menopause. My question is does any woman going through menopause now have any suggestions, herbal alternatives or any clue as to how to learn to live with these hot flashes and night sweats. They are so bad that I wake up 3 or more times soaking wet with sweat. Thank you .
I’m having severe hot flashes and night sweats. Trouble staying asleep and now depression.
i’m already started on black cohosh & dong quai. i just want to know if i can add any more to this? they must be in pill or capsule or gel form only. i need several menopause symptoms relieved: hot flashes, mood problems, insomnia occasionally, & urinary incontinence.
thanx.
My wife is going through the change, has been for sometime now. She can’t take hormones because of cancer risk. I have read there are herbal medicines that can help her with mood swings, hot flashes, etc. Has anyone experienced good results with any herbal medicines, if so which ones?
HRT isn’t an option. What herbal/homeopathic or vitamin treatments have you found that work for you? What cools down your inner thermostat? Are there any herbal teas you have tried that work well for that. Does losing weight also help?
To the awful person who posted 2nd on here (Yahoo Sucks 6) - why bother!!! And, just for the record, if you are female, then one day you’ll know what this is like and be needing this help too - so be warned - it’s not nice!
On a happier note, thank you so very much to those of you who have posted an answer so far. You have been very helpful and I appreciate it. xx
perimenopause…CANNOT TAKE AN ESTROGEN…too much cancer on my mother’s side….i have only had about 5 hot flashes which were not VERY BAD AT ALL…How worse will it get…and what do you recommend herbal wise for me to take daily????..also will i still be able to work????
What to use? Black Cohosh, Licorice, Chasteberry, Red Clover, Soy??? This is all getting very confusing.
I just turned 40 and getting hot flashes already. I did some research and during pre menopause the Estrogen drops way down, so I figured, ok… I will use a natural Estrogen replacement like soy or something. Soy did take my hot flashes away but I don’t trust soy because it can cause hypothyroidism. I am now trying Black Cohosh. I know that my weight gain has to do with my hormones not being balanced.
Anyone with experience with any of the above please advise, I will be truly grateful. Thanks 
Also, I don’t know what my body needs, does it need Estrogen? Does it need Progesterone? Does it need both? I’m so confused…
I’m 35, and in surgical menopause. I’ve always had a bit of a weight challenge - typically about 20 pounds or so - but now I need to lose 40 pounds! I’ve done Weight Watchers and Atkins in the past, and they’ve worked like a charm. I’m working out and staying physically active, but ever since I’ve been on the Premarin since last February, I absolutely CANNOT drop the weight. I’ve only lost 5# since April. What gives?
I’m considering an over-the-counter herbal hormone replacement therapy, rather than the Premarin (I would prefer to wait until the end of the summer to avoid the oppressive hot flashes!). Has anyone else experienced weight loss challenges thanks to hormones, and what did you do?
