Question
KAren,
My wife age 46, stopped taking Premarin.
She tried Black Cohosh but had a reaction. Soy did not seem to help. She started taking Progesterone and Primrose and that helped a lot with the hot flashes. She still gets a few, maybe 5 per day.
Any recommendations for anything else to completely eliminate Hot flashes and help her sleep more soundly ?

Answer
Dear Ed,

Blessed Thistle will sometimes serve as a balancing herb and may be helpful in your wife's case.  She might also consider taking a dose of Passion Flower before bedtime to help her sleep.  Both these extracts are available from my website at http://www.grannyherb.com/

If I may be of further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best Regards,
Karen
