Hot flushes:

Quite a lot of support for vitamin E in helping hot flushes. But one reader writes in saying homeopathy can eliminate hot flushes, instead of just alleviating the symptoms. Usual hormonal remedies are Lachesis, Sepia, Sanguinaria, Oophorinum. Another reader goes to a kinesiologist for advice on vitamins and minerals that help to regulate thyroid activity and core body temperature. She also finds eating regular small meals and drinking plenty of water helpful.
