Definitely sounds like peri-menopause. Chinese herb stores have great herbs

to reduce this heat. Also Plus by Manicol. It is a multilevel and a bit

expensive but really works well. Also liquid yam extract.

Have you had your thyroid checked. It is not uncommon for women who are

menopausal to have this. Many times it is undiagnosed.

 

An easy way to check to see if your thyroid is functioning properly is to

take an axillary temp BEFORE you get out of bed. Have the thermometer

handy. Place in armpit and wait 10 min. do this for a few days in a row.

If your temp is below 97.8 you probably have a thyroid condition and may

want to check it out further.

 

Kindest regards,

Dear Cathy,

If it is menopause, here is what worked for me. [i consider myself an

expert - 5 years of menopausal symtoms!]:

 

Lots of tofu. I found my diet was the biggest determinant of whether

or not I had hot flashes.

 

Getting enough sleep, generally anything that reduced stress

helped. There are many herbal and homeopathic remedies. I never found

one which worked for me, but I would still suggest trying that.

 

But tofu definitely did the trick for me.

 

Good luck.

Thanks, I'm already eating a lot of tofu and take a protein powder

daily made from soy, along with soy milk. My feeling is this is

kundalini, and the sleep problem is due to stress, though it's not

resolved with meditation prior to bedtime, nor is exercise during the

day, or anything else. My gut tells me it's due to kundalini knots

going thru the chakras and it's a symptom of my relationship

"challenges" over the last year.

 

nasmaste,

cathy

More menopause advice. some women swear by oatstraw. Can be taken as an

extract or tea.

I just started using a product with ganoderma luciderm in a coffee or tea mix

and also taking capsules. I haven't had night sweats or a hot flash since

and it's relatively inexpensive. You can e-mail me directly for information

on where to get it.

Best,
