Black Cohosh - tincture or herb

The Wild Yam Root acts like progesterone in your body

it reduces the hot flashes and helps to balance the estrogen .

Answer 3

put your feet in cold water it will cool you off

Answer 4

St John's wort is good but check against other meds....

Answer 5

Vitamin E and Citrus Bioflavonoids. My mom takes them & says they really work.

Upon more research of this, I found out that you shouldn't take Vitamin E if you have rheumatic heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes.

Answer 6

there are evening prim rose oil capsules that are sold at health food stores and you need to take 3-5 at once in the evening before sleep, the caps do not interfere with eating or other drug you may take
