    Hi,

    When I had night sweats my gynaecologist suggested Remifemin , which you can buy at the chemist as it is all natural . It takes a few weeks to work but I found it helped me .  Give it  a try .

    I tried Remifemin and they did not help me. But now I am on Blackmores Muilt Vit for Women and they seem to work.

    Hi, I am suffering really badly with hot sweating seems like every 20 minutes, they are really bad and wake me at night and I carry around a damp face washer during the day.  My problem is that because I have a history of DVT's I am unable to take HRT.  I tried Remifirin quite a while ago and gave it months to no avail.  I am now trying Black Cohosh which my GP suggested, I have even increase to two tablets a day but nothing seems to be helping.  Has anyone else had any luck with natural medications.  PS my mood swings are deplorable as well.

    Hi , I do get hot sweating, but not really bad. And I have a cup of sage tea and that seems to help, you have one cup of sage tea about three times a day.  I hope that is of some help. Tracey.

    I have increased my cardio exercise. This has helped reduce my sweats and all other symptoms. I doubled my cardio and have decreased coffee & alcohol. Just this has decreased my sweats by half (I counted about 16 over a 24hr period). It has reduced my sore joints, depression & most other symptoms. I am still working on the 5kg I put on at the start of my menopause. It has been a tough couple of months since I started but am determined that it will not take over me. I am also seeing a naturopath & he has put me on Ninja Red (concentrated berry juice), magnesium, zinc & B6. These have increased my energy levels. I have also increased my vegetable intake.

    Jean Hailes for Women’s Health is a leader in women’s health, supported by funding from the Australian Government. We provide trusted and easy-to-understand information to … View Profile

    Simple lifestyle changes such as regular physical activity (try for 30 min. moderate intensity on most days), healthy eating, not smoking and reducing alcohol intake can help many women to control symptoms such as night sweats and hot flushes.
    Many women choose to try complementary medicine approaches such as herbal remedies (which should be prescribed by a qualified naturopath or herbalist with expertise in women's health) or acupuncture, but so far there is very little evidence that really proves any of these are effective. Jean Hailes is involved in a large controlled trial of acupuncture for hot flushes, so we may have more information soon…Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is highly effective and safe for women at menopause, unless you have a specific medical history that puts you at risk (as one other commenter mentioned). Ask your doctor to talk you through possible risks and benefits for you.
