Hot Flashes
Many women experience the discomfort of hot flashes and night sweats as they enter the "change of life" with menopause. If you are one of them, and you would like some relief that does not involve taking hormones, you have some natural options. One is an herb used traditionally for centuries called Black Cohosh. It is available as a standardized preparation called Remifemin. Another newer option is a botanical supplement derived from the Siberian rhubarb plant known as Estrovera. Both of these have been used extensively in Europe, and are now widely available in the U.S. market.
