Doctors will recommend hormones, but you may want to go to a naturopathic doctor to try alternative remedies. What worked for me (and I was getting hot flashes all day) was a combination of Flax seed, fish oil, and Black Cohosh. Recently I added Dong Quai, a chinese herb. I also stopped drinking wine (alcohol definitely caused hot flashes).

I take one called multi pollen that balances your hormones. It would give you immediate relief and is very safe as it is the same as eating a food item. If you are interested go to Nurtrimost.com.

After my first kiddo, I just could not use them anymore as they made my monthly migraines twice weekly. I really wish there were some kind of supplement to help us out with these. I know they make them for when you are in menopause, but how about us sufferers of the pre-menopause symptons. Kristen – Birth Control Pill are not an option for me.

Makes western medicine almost taste yummy - but it _worked_. I had heaps of energy, and I stopped being so clammy.

I have been getting them since my last kid at 35 and yes, they are a pain in the you know what. Your doctor will probably tell you that it is a hormonal thing and suggest birth control pills to even out your hormones. I did not want to go back on the pill what so ever so I really just put up with night sweats and open a window. Sometimes I feel like I have actually had a workout in my sleep as drenched as I am but unfortunately there is not a whole lot that can be done, that I know of anyway. Hang in there. Teri,
