I am starting to have hot flashes. Is there any treatment or home remedy for this?

Speak to your gyno, you may have to start with HRT. If you prefer home remedies, go for herbal treatments.

Black cohosh is the most popular home remedies for hot flashes. This is more effective than soy isoflavones. Give it a shot!

Take supplemental bioflavonoids combined with vitamin C, and natural vitamin E in the form of d-alpha tocopherol daily. As for herbal remedies, Cool herbal teas can be sipped throughout the day.

Skip coffee and drink plenty of water. Eat nutritious diet low in saturated fat and increase your intake of soy containing foods. For severe cases, your doctor may prescribed estrogen tablets.

hot flushes can be triggered by a variety of stimulants such as: stress, hot weather, hot drinks, intense exercise, spicy/acidic foods, and hot tubs. plants rich in phytosterols, such as black cohosh would be a great remedy for hot flushes.

Dong Quai root is another one of the remedy for hot flushes. it may also improve other symptoms. give it a shot!

i have tried a lot of herbal medicines for hot flashes but nothing really worked for me. THERE IS NO PROVEN EVIDENCE FOR THIS. believe me, tried it may times.

katie - September 17th, 2009 4:04 PM

try adding soybeans, tofu, miso and other soy products to your diet. thse are doctors advice so this ought to be effective.

black cohosh side effects are not much different than other herbs and herbal supplements. i guess this is normal.
