Hot flashes: Hot flashes come from the lack of estrogen. There are several things to try otc. Black cohash helps some. There are a few warnings on it. Soy or phytoestrogens from the health food stores help some. Your doctor could try you on medicines that are not hormones that may help. Ask about an ssri or Clonidine at low dose.
