hi Lightwinds
I would definitely recommend Organic Maca......it has taken away my hot flushes completely. It is absolutely wonderful and very cheap. It is a remarkable little vegetable

Hi cmn
I am studying reflexology at the moment (AOR) but haven't yet come across the 'linking movement' for menopause you talk of. What is this please? I have a lady interested in being a case study who suffers with hot flushes, so would be great to know!
Thanks
love and Peace

Hi!
Have you tried homoeopathy at all? If your tiredness kicks in about 3pm - can I suggest you give homoeopathic Sepia 30c a try. Take just one remedy and wait and reassess about 2 weeks later. If you'd like to PM me, I'd be happy to try to help on this - menopausal symptoms are very successfully treated with homoeopathy if you can get the remedy right ;)!
Hope they ease soon.
Kindest regards

Hi
I take soy isoflavines with black cohosh and it really works as well as the HRT I had before.
I was a bit worried when I read the posts about Soya and stopped taking it, but the flushes returned and I decided I felt better with it than without so restarted. I did stop using Soya milk though.
As to the fatigue, I would make sure you dont have too much sugar or carbs and see if it helps.
The reflexology linking is the repro's and pituitary to help hormone balance, I think.
What is the Maca stuff Yasmin.

RE: Hot flushes
Hi all
I would be interested to know more the Maca products as I am desperately looking for something to stop hot flushes. (I'm having one now as I type this!) I want to my local homeopathic chemist to see if I could get something but they suggested I saw a homeopathic doctor who look at my lifestyle and do an holistic diagnosis before recommending anything to take. I haven't had a chance to see anyone as yet. (Needless to say I don't want or intend to go on HRT).
I am now in my second year of flushes and I'm sure as they continue, I feel weaker when they are upon me.
Great being a women, innit!
Love Sue

RE: Hot flushes
What about acupuncuture? Also, somebody I know just got a new natural tablet from the health shop and she said she felt instantly better, no hot flushes and also helped with all the other stuff, mood swings and the lot. I am seeing her tomorrow so will ask her what it is and let you know.
You can also get natural progestrone cream and plant oestrogen rather than HRT.
RE: Hot flushes
