If feeling hot at night is your main symptom, then you can usually sort it out using an extract of sage.
It comes in tincture or tablet form but I would suggest starting with the tincture form, as it often gives swifter effects than the tablet and you don't want to wait one more night than you have to without sleeping well!
Take 15 drops in a little water or juice at tea time and then 30 drops before you go to bed. You don't need to eat anything with it.
You may also find that avoiding eating a heavy meal late at night calms this, so maybe consider eating your main meal at lunch time and having a lighter evening meal, finishing it at least 3 hours before bed time.
Caffeine sometimes triggers flushes/heat, so keep your caffeine intake - coffee, tea, and fizzy drinks - to a minimum, and ensure that you are drinking plenty of water to rehydrate yourself.
Dehydration can cause feelings of anxiety, which then makes the symptoms worse.
