<![CDATA[Hot flashes]]>My cousin who is undergoing menopause is experiencing symptoms relating to hot flashes.

Being ignorant & clueless about it, I did some research on the internet.
But I would appreciate if friends here could share valuable experiences and ways to overcome them so I could better advise my cousin.

TIA.

When these hormones are decreased it causes gland in the body, the hypothalamus, which acts a thermostat has difficulty determining whether we are hot or cold.
Which caused in Menopause. Some women suffer only mildly , while others find they are hot and drenched in the cold of winter.

Friends have suggested evening primrose oil, so my cousin is trying it out.

Wonder primrose oil helps?My friend is having this problem too and has heavy menses and didn't stop.She doesn't want to take hormone replacement tablet as may cause cancer.Wonder TCM helps?

Thanks for sharing

According to my cousin, her condition improved after taking the primrose oil.
