Does anyone have any natural/herbal solutions for menopause hot flashes...that DO NOT have estrogen or hormone replacement stuff in them? I can not take either, but these hot flashes are making me crazy!
I researched a bit and found Licorice Root and Black Cohosh help the hot flashes, but they have phytoestrogens and plant estrogens in them. Are these the same "kind" of estrogen medically received?
I research but often can't understand what they are saying. So much medical mumbo-jumbo. In the end I will ask my Neurosurgeon for sure, but need something to ask him about and I have found, that most doctors say they don't know anything about anything that is not medical drug or AMA related.
Thanks for any comments about these two items

I'm not at that point in my life so I have no idea. Though I would say have you gone to a health food store and consulted a clerk there? They could atleast suggest some items for you to consider, then write down what they are and do further research on them before making your decision as what would be the best thing for you to try.
