Question:
What is a natural way to cure night sweats?
I had a complete hysterectomy in 1998, and I'm done dealing with HRT, due to all the bad effects it causes, and it never did help with my night sweats anyway!! Is there anything out there I can take for them that is natural?
Answers:
I entered peri-menopause and I simply refuse to take HRT. You are a smart girl to discontinue them but you do need some sort of help with your symptoms.
What I use is a Bio-Identical Hormone Cream which comes from wild yam. I order mine online at www.askdrhelen.com. If you go to her website (Dr. Helen Pensanti) there is a simple questionaire that you can fill out and it will tell you which hormone cream is the best suited for you. It is very inexpensive and I have never had a problem with ordering from them.
My periods were coming once every 3 months and since I started using the cream, approx. 6 months ago, I now have regulated back to a once a month menses. You rub a small amount of the cream, approx. 1/4 tsp., on your inner thighs or inner arms. I believe it states that if you have problems sleeping or have night sweats you can rub it on your face and the back of your neck. I personally don't get the hot flashes.
Also, if you have questions you can click on to the section where it says "contact Dr. Pensanti" and you can write questions to her and she will respond back to you. I have gotten very prompt responses when I have written to her.
A jar of her Phyto-Progesterone cream runs about $18.00 - $20.00 and one jar lasts me about 4-5 months because you use such a small amount. I have had NO side effects from this product and I am very pleased with it.
Do a little check on her website and read through her material. I hope this helps you to feel better soon! Good Luck!
