Menopause And Hot Flashes, Anyone Tried Something That Helps?

My mom is 48 and going through menopause. She gets these horrible hot flashes and I would like to know of something she can take “AT HOME” that could possibly help. I’m sure she could get prescribed something and all, but her appointment for the doctor isn’t for another 2 months, so just wondering if anyone knew of something she could take or use?

I am 46 and done with menopause. I used natural progesterone cream to balance out my estrogen/progesterone.
Here are the benefits I experienced:
no hot flashes
weight loss around the abdomen
no more irritability
no more sadness
return of sex drive
no more fatigue
dramatic increase in energy
dramatic increase in ability to handle stress
no more bloating
To sum up, I feel better than I have ever felt in my life. As mentioned earlier, menopause is natural and normal. It should not make us sick and certainly does not warrant the use of drugs-menopause is not a disease to be treated with man-made chemically altered hormones or antidepressants.
Every woman, since the dawn of humanity, has gone through menopause. Menopause is a natural event in every woman’s life. You’re not sick, but you sure don’t feel good!
Grandmother called it “the change of life.” It’s simply the body deciding you don’t have to get pregnant anymore. Whee! That’s the good part.
Unfortunately, the transition from being a fertile woman to a healthy, happy non-fertile woman has some uncomfortable symptoms. You know what they are. You’re probably experiencing them.
I have been taking Black Cohosh, which comes in a capsule, you can buy it at most drugstores, and at health food stores. It works very well for many women, and also works fast.
Yup, I agree with the nurse. Taking natural source like Black Cohosh is safer and effective. You also can get some natural products like Monazac. It is also quite popular among the menopausal women.
