Hot flash relief post radical hysterectomy

[Guest guest]

Hi, All--

 

Since both ovaries are removed, the hot flashes are more fierce. Any

recommendations for herbal formula(s) appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Marianne

I follow TCM very closely in these cases. Ask how she feels when she does NOT

have a hot flash, if she says " cold " consider Er xian Tang, if she says " warm " ,

consider Liu wei di huang wan with additions or Da bu yin wan; if she has liver

fire, use Long dang xie gan tang first, before enriching the yin.

This is a situation where I have found raw herbs to vastly outperform powders,

if you have a raw herb pharmacy, use Gui Ban liberally. Although I prefer a

vegetarian pharmacy, my understanding is that these turtles are not killed for

their shells, and I found nothing that effectively substitutes for their use.
