I have been having hot flushes and night-sweats for over 15 years. I have tried every herbal remedy but to no avail. I've had HRT for 5 years and the symptoms stopped but 8 years ago the doctor advised me to come off it. Since then the flushes and sweats have returned with a vegeance. I wake up several times a night, very damp, and I have at least 10 hot flushes a day. Can you suggest anything? I will be turning 60 in September. I exercise every day, walking my dogs at least 3 times a day. I am not overweight, neither do I smoke or drink coffee. I need help.

Menopause-like symptoms after all this time may be an indication of adrenal stress rather than hormonal. 

In this situation, it is very important to do supportive work for the adrenals such as a high strength multi-vitamin with extra magnesium.

Liquorice tea can be helpful as well.

I would also suggest acupuncture as it can be very effective for adrenal stress.

Studies have shown that daily relaxation can reduce symptoms quickly so make 30 minutes of relaxation a day a priority.

Low iron, low vitamin D, and low thyroid can also cause similar symptoms so it is a good idea to ask your doctor to test for these if they haven't done so already.

In the meantime, you may find Menoforce Sage Tablets helpful for the flushes.
