From the article: Hot Flashes
I sometimes find relief from hot flashes by standing in front of a chilly air conditioner. How do you get relief from hot flashes? Share your non-pharmaceutical tips for relieving hot flashes.
Hot flashes
- I here Soy Pills work well. You buy them in the vitamin store. My friend reccomended that to me.

Hot flushes
- I bought a femi magnet, you attach it to the inside of your knickers near the pubic area and it works, from 12 a day down to none or just the odd one. Bought it from Boots but they are on-line if you search.

Boniva!
- My doctor put me on Boniva for Osteoporosis and voila! my hot flashes have completely disappeared. I went off the Boniva for a couple of months due to a weird side effect of having a very itchy scalp and the hot flashes were back with a vengeance. I'm back on Boniva, now. I'd rather deal with an itchy scalp than hot flashes day and night! I'm very thankful for Boniva.

hot flashes at night
- I was beginning to notice that I would get a severe hot flash right after getting back into bed from going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Now I drink about 8 ounces of cold water when I get up to go at night and I don't get the flash afterwards or if I do it is very minor!

Hot Flashes
- My ob put me on effexor. Patients with depression use this (I don't have depression ). It works great for hot flashes and it not a hrt. I tried everything and this works wonders. from 10 flashes in the day to maybe 1-2 very mild ones.

hot flash relief
- I use satin pillowcases, especially in the winter when you get hot, and your pillow is nice and cool.I also, stick my head in the freezer. Both work like a charm....

Try ground fax seed (flax meal)
- Had 3 hot flashes AN HOUR for several months, a friend told me that her Naturopath recommended flax seed in your cereal or oatmeal in AM and again in Yogourt or !?!? around 1-3 PM. WORKS perfectly....Hot flashes are gone. Three or 4 times I forgot to have my flax and yes, they came back....only a few...but as long as I eat the flax I am fine. Apparently it converts to a chemical in the colon that resembles estrogen and fools the body!! TRY IT!! NOT the oil though, the ground seed.

hot flashes
- I have a heavy paper plate at my bedside. It makes a great fan when the hot flash hits. I fan myself until the flash subsides, which is usually very quickly.

I think I'm doomed
- My mom is 81 and she STILL has hot flashes! I'm 53 and have had night sweats occasionally in, I think, the past 20 years, but now my menstral cycles are changing and after my recent cycle the hot flashes are really bad, especially at night. Everytime I wake up... wait... here it comes... UGH! Whip off the nighty! (And hope hubby doesn't notice.) Thank goodness cold nights are back! I decided I'll just wear an old bra and undies to bed. But I have to say that even though I go thru this several times a night, I don't feel sleepy during the day. Thank you for the suggestions. I will try to dring more fluids, at least.
