I quit having any hot flashes at all when I changed my diet to all organic food, no pesticides, no hormones and no antibiotics. If I have meat with pesticides (like at a potluck -- because usually I'm able to avoid it), I'll have a hot flash within 10 minutes. I'm in my 50s and don't use anything else except progesterone cream.
