I am suffering with the menopause. I've been having constant hot flushes and night-sweats and I really don't want to go on HRT. I've tried Menapol along with safe leaf and red clover. Nothing seems to work. Can you please help me?

If you have not tried our Menosan sage tincture it may be worth a try; you can take up to 4 times a day, the last dose being just before bed.

I would also suggest a liquid magnesium and a vitamin B Complex.
Stress is a huge issue in the menopause and even minor day to day stress can trigger more flushes. These supplements are known to support the nervous system.

Check your diet too - caffeine, fizzy drinks, high salt and sugar foods, and processed foods can be a contributory factor as can dehydration, so make sure that you are drinking plenty of plain water every day as well.

Acupuncture can be really effective for flushes/sweats so it is worth looking into!

Daily relaxation is very important so do try to get 30 minutes of me-time - not easy, I know, but it can make a difference very quickly!
