My mother reached menopause. She said she never had the side effect youre referring to but she thinks that a healthy diet helped. She buys only organic food, even condiments like sugar and flour are all organic. She eats a lot of wheat and fiber. The only other preventative is to take estrogen pills. Hormone pills will continue your menstrual cycle, but at least you wont get liver spots and the hunchback that old age causes!

There are many alternatives to prescription medications. Black cohosh is traditionally used to treat symptoms like hot sweats. The St. Johns Wort is used to treat mood swings that can happen during menopause but yes you do have to be carefull if you are on other medictations. Your doctor can check for contraindications. Look for complexes that have red clover, vitex, sage, black cohosh and wild yam. These ingredients are common for helping with the symptoms associated with menopause. Other things that you can take on a daily basis for overall health are a good omega 3 fatty acid which can help with many things from mood to immune system,  healthy hair skin and nails and joint health. Also look for a good calcium magnesium supplement. Good luck

Make sure your heat is turned down to around 68 and take a warm bath/shower. When your body temp drops it helps you sleep. Also, lavendar & chamomile are relaxing herbs. Try getting some essential oils or lavendar pillow/bed spray.

It is normal to prescribe low-dose hormones or low-dose hormone birth control pills to women going through menopause to relieve some of their symptoms, such as hot flashes.  \n\nThere have been a variety of studies questioning the safety of hormonal treatment for women.  There is a link below providing a summary of some of these issues.\n\nIf you are concerned, you should discuss this with your doctor or seek a second opinion.\n\nI have also included a link to information about premature menopause, generally defined as menopause occuring in women under the age of 40.  There is no way to reverse menopause once the process has started, so the birth control pills your doctor prescribed are presumably meant to help with your symptoms.

1.) Fill sink with hot water, add 2 tablespoons of Vicks vaporub, lean over sink, put towel over head, breathe deeply. \n2.) Microwave beanbag filled with flax seed and lavender (available at most bath & bed stores) put it on the back of your neck, or on your forehead, be careful though, it'll be HOT!\n3.) Mint tea, a little honey, a little lemon, and a pinch of cayenne pepper!\n4.) Get a humidifier and put it near the bed\n5.) Take a long hot shower or bath\n6.) LOTS of water and gatorade, flushing the body with water helps everything "move along" especially unwanted snot. \n7.) Put Vicks or Mentholatum under your nose\n8.) Bed rest, your body heals while it rests. \n9.) Try the Neti Pot (link below)\n10.) Saline nasal spray or drops\n11.)Avoid over-the-counter antihistamines, these dry you out, which makes the cold last longer\n12.)Oral decongestants like Sudafed can be used, but be sure to drink lots of water, and don't use it if you have thyroid problems or heart issues, it's kind of like taking speed!\n13.) Don't use antibiotics to treat a cold. Antibiotics aren't effective in combating a virus. The common cold is caused by a virus. Using antibiotics unnecessarily could lead to antibiotic resistance in the future.\n14.) Cough suppressants may be used safely for a cough. (Use the “DM” variety if the cough is dry). However, coughing is a natural defense mechanism to protect your lungs, so use these medications sparingly.\nHope all this helps! Feel better!

I started having hot flashes at age 37.  I take wild yam, standardized extract, and I haven't had any hot flashes since.  It has been seven years.  The wild yam has also shortened the length of my periods.

Hot showers help a lot; so does Thera-flu. It is the  OTC med ( a powder) that you mix with hot water and drink.  If you add a little sugar or honey, it tastes like hot lemonade.   Chicken soup or broth makes me feel better.

There are several different options if you want to go natural. The first link below is to Puritan's Pride, an excellent website for vitamins and herbs. I know Black Cohosh is good for you when you lack estrogen. The other link may be helpful too. There are also foods rich in estrogen and some that take away your estrogen. The second link will give you a full list of both. Hope it helps. God bless!

A hot water bottle on your tummy always seems to help me. Also, try to avoid fatty foods before and during the period.
