Herbs and menopause
Good article about treating menopausal symptons, such as hot flashes, with herbs:
"Women have successfully used herbs and vitamins for hundreds of years to ease hot flashes during this natural transition. Research shows that 70 per cent of Chinese doctors still turn to herbal treatments, and up until the 1920s, herbs were regularly used in Western medicine.
One of the more popular herbs is dong quai, which is a primary ingredient in a number of Chinese herbal formulas. It works like oestrogen, by promoting hormonal balance. There are also phytoestrogens, which are weak oestrogen-like compounds found in tofu and other soy products, as well as Vitamin E. Herbs like black cohosh and to a lesser extent red clover, are also very well-documented for relieving hot flashes.
You should constantly evaluate how you are caring for yourself. If you smoke or drink, quit. Eat moderately and exercise or walk regularly. To ease the discomfort, dress in fabrics that “breathe”, such as cotton. Linen is also a good option. Being aware of factors that can trigger such an episode, such as hot coffee or spicy food, also helps. Sometimes, the simplest remedies can ease the discomfort, such as drinking cool water or juice, swimming, or taking a cold shower. "
