Any Tips?

Has anyone got any good tips on how to ease the hot flushes during the menopause? I have tried evening primrose oil capsules which was recommended by my doctor as an alternative to HRT and been using capsules for just over 3 months but they don't seem to be having any affect whatsoever. I don't really want to go on HRT if I can help it, but the way I am feeling at the moment I am more than tempted, the heat is unbelievable. I would say that I am incredibly lucky in that this is my only symptom. Can anyone recommend anything else that I could try to relieve this heat? Thank you.

My Mum did thai chi (apologies if spelt wrong) and she said that helped her sweats and moods, even after trying hrt.

Meoooow (best cat impression I could do, sorry!)

Have you tried speaking to someone in holland & barrat or a health shop/chinese health place, dont know if they'd be any use but may be worth a go

Thank you everyone. Thanks Lacey, I really wanted to avoid HRT if I could because of the health implications and I had heard that once you stop taking it you go back to having the hot flushes again.

I am going to try all of these suggestions here lol, one of them might work!!!

closer than you think

when I get a bad attack of hot flushes, usually about 4am, my man will go and sit in his car with the aircon blasting then get back into bed nice and cold !

I've read that black cohosh or red clover helps but just because a remedy is "herbal" or "alternative" doesn't mean it doesn't have side effects too, these things have massive warnings against them also.Lots of people also recommend soya.

I know people who've tried all three of these with varying degrees of success.

Hope you find something that works, in the meantime always make sure you have a bottle of water, don't wear man made fibres and carry a small fan.

Thank you for this advice. I have a huge stand alone fan which does help. Will try the water too and clothing.
