to kathleen: Great question kathleen. Could you please copy and paste it into the question area of the site(click on question tab and post new question). This way I can write out a longer answer, as well as link to other sites that are helpful in my explanation. Thanks.
Realizing every woman's body responds differently to hot flash treatments, besides the usual suspects (Black cohosh, dong quai, isoflavones, etc.), what herb or supplements have you heard of for successfully reducing/eliminating persistent hot flashes (once hour/every hour), in an otherwise healthy patient (exercise regularly, vegetarian, drink 70 oz water/day, etc.)
Thanks,
Kathleen
PS I would consider bioidentical hormones only as a last resort, because they carry risks, as do synthetic hormones, and side effects (eg, break through bleeding, which I finally seem to have behind me and don't want to risk adding one more symptom to the mix.)
Your Testimony makes me think of a "pyramid" of natural health. At the bottom are "exercise, rest, good nutrition, regular detoxification, ..." (ie. your list above). Then above that (and narrower) is natural therapies like bio-identical supplements (e.g. your natural progesterone), ozone, chelation, etc. Then above that and much narrower is non-bio-identical pharmaceuticals. Finally, at the tiny top is surgery.
