Hi T.,
I am 52 and I have been taking the Isagenix nutritional program for 2 1/2 years now and I feel great! Besides loosing 40 lbs, 75 inches, and down 3 dress sizes I have so much energy, sleep better, and I have not suffered from sympoms such as yours. It is a nutritional cleanse which cleanses out impurities, so your body functions better than ever before. One of the products is called ionix supreme. It has adaptogens in it, and has been very beneficial to women and men. One of the things it does is help with anxiety and supports improved moods. I have heard many stories of women who have not experienced hot fashes since on this product. If you would like more information, let me know. L. Lapp ###-###-####

Hi T.,

When I was reading about your situation. I had flashbacks of my mom going through the same situation. I introduced her to a product called Phyto Prolief by Arbonne (Pure, Safe & Beneficial). It's a natural balancing cream that you use on your soft tissues. This natural balancing cream is enriched with botanicals, designed to help restore balance. It's conveniently packaged in a metered pump to take the guesswork out of measuring. PhytoProlief is light and greaseless, free of colors and fragrance.

My mom said it has cut her hotflashes down by half. Results vary with each individual of course. Should you have any interest I would be more than happy to point you in the right direction. We offer a 45 day money back guarantee should you feel this product does not help.

Good Luck in your search. ;o)

Try soy. My mother didn't want to take the chemical medications either. She started to take a soy pills that she found at her local drug store. I guess they worked well for her. I kept myself very busy and at a great distance from her during that time of her life :) We both survived :)

I started getting some night sweats and hot flashes but not to the same degree as you. However, my mom had always said that raw almonds helped her, so I tried it. I know this sounds crazy but the symptoms went away completely. Then, I stopped eating them as often and the symptoms started to come back. I am back eating them everyday and am feeling better. My mom said to eat about 25 of them, but I like them so much that I am sure I eat more than that. Give it a try for a month or so - it can't hurt. I know they can be expensive - if you have a Fresh and Easy store near you, they are pretty reasonable. I have heard that Costco carries them (in the baking section) but I haven't looked yet. Best wishes.

Have you tried Reiki? It's a gentle hands on treatment where a Reiki practitioner gently lays hand on you to balance your body's energy system, Reiki heals by flowing through affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy, it allows your life force to flow in a healthy and natural way. While healing comes through the practitioner's hands, the client is the actual healer. We are alive because a life force is flowing through us. Life force flows within the physical body through pathways called chakras, meridian's and nadis. The life force nourishes the organs and cells of the body supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow of life force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of the physical body. Reiki is a positive gentle relaxing treatment, that enhances your body's own natural healing mechanism, it heals on all levels, physical, emotional, mentally, and spiritually, and the Reiki energy goes wherever it is needed in your life. If you would like to know more about Reiki or would like to schedule an appointment with me, you can reach me at ____@____.com

Hi T.,

Perhaps going with a holistic way of healing for menopause would benefit you at this time as you are ready to go a different route. You can consult with O.M.D for Acupressure, Natural or Chinese herbs you can find at Wild Oats or Wholefoods or any organic store, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). You can learn more about EFT on their website: http://www.emofree.com/. If you go to the Email link and then to the "Newsletter Archives" you can do a search for Menopause to read successful cases using EFT.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions on natural healing approach.

Blessings of love, joy, peace and happiness to you.

Hi T.,
I went through early menopause at age 36 and I wouldn't take hrt's either. I took "Change-O-Life" by Nature's Way. It works great but you have to take it consistantly for several weeks to really notice a change, and at a couple of months it really helps. I thought that after several months I didn't need it anymore so I went off of it, and my hot flashes came back with a vengence. I didn't realize how well it was working. It won't make them disappear completely, but the difference is trememdous, at least for me. I got them at "Lacata's" in the Orange Circle, in Orange, CA. But I'm sure you can order them online, or get them at another health food store. Hope this helps. Good luck,
V.

Try Arbonne's Phyto-prolief cream. You put on a pre-measured amount at night (very little). I have heard wonderful things about it...it even helps with PMS, that's what I use it for. I have heard people say it helped A LOT with hot flashes and really helped them sleep. Arbonne's products are made from herbal and botannical ingredients and are pure, safe and beneficial.

Try Evening Primrose Oil. You can get it in a Vitamin Store. It helped me for years and some of my friends in the early stages of menopause.

Hello T.:

There is a very good natural product for menopause. It's called CLARY SAGE - 15 ML Clary sage (Salvia sclarea) essential oil contains natural phytoestrogens. It has a mellow, warm, herbal scent that is uplifting and relaxing, making it a perfect choice for supporting a normal, healthy attitude during PMS. It is also supportive for menopausal women.* Clary Sage has an approximate ORAC of 2,209,727 (TE/L). TE/L is expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent per liter.

Check into Ayurveda! There is a wonderful book on Ayurveda for women over forty and deals with menopause specifically. The problem is I lost my copy of the book and can't remember the author or title--ugh! I bought it on Amazon, so if you just use search words like Ayurveda for women it should come up. I believe that the title says something with the age forty in it. I also know that there is an Ayurvedic clinic in Costa Mesa that I was thinking of going to. Once again, you will have to google it. Have you tried Yoga? Check into Iyengar Yoga (books also!) since this form of Yoga deals with specific health issues. Yoga Works in Costa Mesa has Iyengar teachers. Make sure you eat as much whole, organic foods as possible and avoid processed as much as possible! I am turning forty this month, so this is an interesting topic for me! I hope to glide gracefully through menopause!! I wish you wellness and some sleep!!

Dear T.,

I'm 53 and for the better part of a year endured the same night sweats and hot flashes. A few months ago, following the online advice of the herbalist Susun Weed (yes, that's her real last name), I started taking the herbal tincture Motherwort several times a day, and to my delight the night sweats have stopped almost completely and the hot flashes are fewer and farther between. I've also noticed a distinct leveling out in my mood. The improvements have been gradual and subtle, which are the only kind I trust. Susun Weed has a website--susunweed.com--and I highly recommend her book "New Menopausal Years: The wise woman way." You really can feel better without drugs. Take care. M.

Chaste Tree (1 - 3x/day) and it usually takes a few weeks to see a difference. You can get it at local health food stores, etc.

Calcium, this is the one I recommend is cheap and well balanced helps as well to relax the body, which balances it out. My doctor sells it at her office:

Hi T.,
I went into early menopause at 44. I took Prempro for awhile, but I was afraid of long term side effects. I began ordering Phyto-Prolief from a company called Arbonne. They're a completely botanical and vegan company and it is a pre-metered dose of Progesterone. It's made from Wild Mexican Yam. It has helped me tremendously. It also has phytoestrogen herbs ie. Black Cohosh, Dong Quai, Evening Primrose oil, Giseng and more. It retails for $34.00 (plus S&H)and lasts for a month. I signed up to purchase it wholesale along with about 380 other products that are also 100% safe, botanically based, FREE of Artificial dyes,fragrances and Petroleum.
Call me if you have any questions or would like more info.
Take care and hang in there,

If you go to a DO you can get a prescription for a natural form of estrogen called estriol. I have been battling the same premenopausal symptoms and found immediate relief with the estriol.
Also, for low progesterone there is a topical cream called Gentle Changes with activin (which is another natural form of progesterone). If you are in the South Orange County area I can refer you to an awesome doctor who is both an MD and DO.

I too have been going through the same problems. I take Estroven Maximum strength with a half glass of soy milk a day. I laughed when my doctor told me it would work, but in desperation, I thought I would try it. So, faithfully, daily, I take my estroven and soy milk. My hot flashes started diminishing, the night sweats still happen, but they are not enough to wake me up. Ask your doctor to prescribe a mild sleeping pill. Mine did, and I only take a half of one a night. I feel so much better in the morning, I get a solid 6 hours of sleep and do not have any of the side effects of a sleeping aid. This might not work for everyone, but I am a much happier person (my husband will attest to that), since I can sleep through the night and my hot flashes have drizzled. Giveit a try - what have you got to lose?

I went through an episode of peri-menopause a few years ago. Check out the website power-surge.com The message boards helped me. I used Black Cohash(has to be standardized). It takes 6 weeks to work, though some improvement after 2 weeks. I also increased my Vitamin E intake to 900 MG. There are other herbal recommendations, though I only required two. For more suggestions, check out the web site.

Hey T.,

Have you ever heard of Arbonne? They have a natural pregesterone cream that helps with menopause symptoms. It's called Phyto Prolief. If you go to Arbonne's website, they can connect you with someone who sells it in your area.

Good luck,

The only thing I know about which is supported by studies is Black Cohosh. I've been using topical natural progesterone cream for about 12 or 13 years. I am 54 and in "perimenopause" (that is, I'm almost there but not quite yet). I have only rare hot flashes, but I don't know how much of that is due to the progesterone (I started using it to avoid monthly migraines)and how much to genetics. Hope something works for you! N.

Chinese doctors can be very helpful - we see a woman in China town called serena at Hip Woo Hong - I don't have the phone number right now but if you can't get it at 411 let me know and I'll track it down.
Chinese medicine is truly brilliant it treats your whole system and targets the actual problem not just the symptoms.

I am an R.N. and i have researched this problem and i cannot take any meds due to breast cancer history in my family. Medical studies through John Hopkins University have linked consuming soy, which is a natural plant estrogen cuts down menopause symptoms. The soy products in the store are too processed to help you.
i use to have to change my shirts and sheets nightly. The soy i use is with Take Shape for Life and i eat the bars and shakes, and snacks I also lost weight eating the soy, but i can sleep better and I feel better. If you want more let me know.. ____@____.com

Hi T., I'm 37 years old and supposedly not premenopausal, but I suffer from hot flashes esp. early morning and at night. I gain some relief from herbal supplements like Evening Primrose Oil 1000-2000mg/day. Also Estroven otc prep is helpful and mostly natural. For specific herbs check with your local health food store, but i've heard that black cohosh, yam extract and red clover are helpful also. High soy intake has also been found useful to some women. Exactly how much you need, not sure. Good Luck, M.

For starters, let me applaud you for seeking alternative treatments for your menopausal symptoms. Although I personally have not experienced this turning point in my life, I believe Christine Northrup, MD has a phenomenal book out on natural therapies and it may reassure you that regardless of her medical degree, she supports natural therapies during menopause. You may also want to seek out a naturopath in your area as well. Good luck to you.

the herb "black cohosh" has helped with me.

Have you tried acupuncture or acupressure? There is a book called, "Acupressure's Potent Points" by Michael Reed Gach that has detailed instructions on how to help menopause symptoms with self-applied acupressure, as well as help with many other ailments. Just remember, the key to success with alternative therapies is consistent, daily self-treatment.
Good luck!

Did you try soy? Soy is supposed to be really good for Menopause. I don't know if they sell the pill here. But they have soy pills if you don't like to drink soy milk. But drink lots of it. The isoflavones in the soy milk help with the hot flashes.

You were asking about a product that is used for hot flashes. A friend of mine recommends the following as it has helped her.

It was a wild yam cream that I got from Puritans Pride. It’s really hard to put your finger on any one thing that might have helped. I was also trying to eat a lot of soy. Can be found at www.puritan.com

Hopefully this helps....After having to go through surgery for endometriosis they still could not get it all, so I had to go on to Lupron, which sends your body into early menopause. After getting off of that, my doctor, who is wonderful, prescribed a natural estrogen called "triest". I believe that you have to have a prescription to obtain it but you can get it from any compounding Pharamacy It helped me out a lot. Good luck.

I'd encourage you to search out an acupuncturist/Oriental Medicine Practitioner for advice about how to proceed. I know a fabulous one who could answer many of your questions, if not provide treatment for you if your geography matches. She specializes in women's health, menopause included. Please contact me if you'd like her information.

Hi T., I have accupuncture treatments for my symptons, & have had 99% relief. My doctor is located in Seal Beach, his name is Dr.Jung. He is very affordable, very commited to his patients well being. This may & may not work for others, for me personally it has with 0 percent side effects. Good Luck.

Hi T.,
I'm like you and wanted to try natural remedies for my hot flashes and menopause symptoms. I tried a variety of things but none of them worked for me. That doesn't mean they won't for you, everyone is different. I read something about low dose antidepressants relieving menopause symptoms so I finally tried it and it was like night and day for me. It worked almost immediately and got rid of all my symptoms. So even though I don't like the idea of taking an antidepressant I am glad I decided to. Good luck and if you don't have any luck with the natural remedies then give the antidepressant a try, it's worth it.
I'm 51 and mother of a 9 year old.

Dear T., I don't know what area you are in but I do know that when I went through menopause, I went directly to a reputable accupuncturist/herbalist and that got me through it with no problems and no medication at all. If you are in the Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills area, I highly recommend Dr. Po Chen of Integrative Medicine Inc. The phone # is: ###-###-####. Both he and his wife were doctors in China, his wife, Dr. Lee, is a medical doctor, he is an acupuncturist/herbalist. They are affiliated with St. Joseph's Hospital and have an impeccable reputation.

Hi T.,

Try looking into acupuncture. It can help with all your symptoms and the acupuncturist can recommend some herbs to take as well.

Good luck.

L.

ok this is actually pretty easy to treat! first of all... take a breath! A LOT of women are going through this and I APPLAUD your desire to use only natural remedies. There is a book called "What your doctor doesn't tell you about Menopause" by Dr. Lee. GET THIS BOOK!

I am working on my masters in holistic nutrition and what I have read and what i have recommended to some of my clients is that an increase in calcium to about 2000 mg has shown some great response. Take it at night about 30 minutes before bed so it has time to absorb. Also, I have read that 800IU of Vitamin E will help you sleep and keep your tissues lubricated. Make sure that your vitamin E is D-alpha-tocopheral. Do NOT get Dl-alpha. That's fake! In addition, Evening Primrose oil, a couple of capsules a day, have shown great results too.

I can't recommend any herbs until I know your specific situation but at least you can start with this. If you want to email me back and give me more of your health details let me know.
