What do want to: treat exactly. There are all kinds of herbal supplements that may help. I have had success treating with black cohosh and ginko. You may have to try a few before you get it correct. There are medical hormone replacements but try the other stuff first. This is a good page. https://www.southerncross.co.nz/group/medical-library/menopause-signs-symptoms-diagnosis-treatment

You are not alone!: 80% of women experience these symptoms. Hormone Replacement Therapy is most effective but has VERY significant risks. Behavioural approaches help: lowering room temp, using fans, dressing in layers of clothing that can be easily shed, and avoiding triggers (spicy food/stres). Alternative therapies are: weight loss, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), vitamin E, and hypnosis, herbal supplements.
