Hello. I am new to this site and just learning to navigate through all the posts.I am going to be 53 in May. I tried several things and nothing seemed to control the night sweats and hot flashes. After reading a book about all the side effects that presciption drugs have on the immune system I did not want to take anything that wasn't natural.I went on a quest and found a natural remedy. It is called oil of evening primrose. It works for me. I take it with a glass of vanilla flavored soy milk once in the morning and once at night. I have stopped having night sweats and hot flashes.
