See Judy I didn't forget.....The two herbs recommended most was Dong Quai (this is a Chinese herb that is used for hot flashes, Menopause, and Menstrual problems, PMS) I would have never been able to get through menopause without the use of this herb I recommend this one highly. It can be purchased at your local health food store. The second one is black cohosh (this one should only be used for 6 months then 1 month off and back on for 6 months.) I've used this one but I found the dong quai to work better. The third option is to drink aloe vera juice (make sure though that it's the kind you can ingest) this would definatly be my last choice as it tastes awful) All these can be purchased at the health food shop.
