I'm having hot sensations during the night and I'm not sleeping. I'm also having headaches that are proving hard to live with. I'm 48 years old and I had a partial hysterectomy when I was 31, my ovaries were left in. Could this be the menopause? How do I treat the headaches?

If you have your ovaries then you very often have the menopause at roughly the same time you would have had it had you not had the operation, if that makes sense!

So it is possible that you are approaching it now. You could try the sage for the heat and you may also find a magnesium supplement helpful for the headaches.

Acupuncture can often be effect for this so it is worth looking into as well.
