Dana:
I think what everyone needs to keep in mind is that if all these alternative remedies were so good they wouldn't be considered "alternative". They would be considered "medications".
matildamouse:
I also thought it worked initially for the flushes but in the end I actually felt worse and the flushes just increased. I also tried sage, red clover and some stuff from the naturopath. All a waste of money. The only meds for me was HRT from my Dr which stopped the flushes.
breeze:
I used it off and on during peri. I certainly felt it helped but it should not be used continuously.
Worth a try.
CLKD:
If they were peer reviewed with double blind tests then many of these 'alternatives' would be on the NHS. However, as I said, if hormones take over then a lady may lose any feeling of benefit.
breeze:
The trouble is they won't get proper peer reviews because the 'big pharma' can't make any money from them.
