Hello everybody. I am so pleased to have somewhere to talk about this, I cannot believe what a taboo menopause symptoms are until I had them! My fingers are crossed because 2 weeks ago I was desperate, I was having hot flushes hourly that left me agitated and drenched in sweat. I had tried some herbs and remedies but no relief. I desperately did not want to go on HRT but was waking every hour and exhausted, plus I never felt clean due to all the sweating!
I came on here and read all the posts and decided to give myself a month to sort it out and to blast it with everything. bizarrely, I had hot flushes for around 2 months before xmas, but I was also ill then with pneumonia and the doctor said that they were not hot flushes, but the infection. I thought he was right because they disappeared round about xmas, but returned late February. the only thing I used back in December was lavender oil to try to reduce the agitation that I was feeling when they occurred.
well, thanks to all the advice on here I got a ladycare magnet, took 1000 gm of starflower oil and 1000 gm of evening primrose a day as well as menopace. Nothing had changed after a week and then I remembered the lavender. I bathed in it, I have a roller applicator and I put it on my pillow at night.
no kidding, within a week I am flush free.
I don't know if this is coincidence, and obviously I don't know what helped or if they just came to an end, but they got weaker and weaker and although sometimes I feel a slight sensation of warmth on occasions I barely notice it. the night ones took a bit longer but I have now had 3 nights without waking. I feel I have my life back and I am so grateful
