About a month ago I started having hot flashes. Pretty fequently, but fortunately of short duration. I started taking dong quai 3 times a day. Have you used this herb and has it helped? Also, do I now have hot flashes for life...or do they come in spurts with a break every now and then? What can I expect?

Cathy,

There are many things you can do to help alleviate hot flashes.  They are caused from hormone fluctuations.  How long they last, how often they occur etc. is an individual thing--each woman is different.

I would suggest that you visit the rest of the site where you will find a wealth of information on this subject, as well as what you might expect in the future.  I would start with the Recommendations page, which you can go to at http://www.dearest.com/recommend.htm    or you can access it through the drop down menu at the top of any page on the site.  I hope this helps.

Debbie: Thanks for your reply. Actually I had already been to that very site and have ordered one of the supplements. I am still interested in hearing the experience of others specifically using Dong Quai. Many thanks.Cathy

Yes,  I did try this for hot flashes...it didn't like my body..When I took it ..I woke up in the night with a terrible headache and I vomited.  So I tested to see if it was the Dong Quai and did not take it again for 3 days. Then I tried it again and had the same headache and vomited that night....I am one of those lucky people that don't have any headaches at all.  So I knew it was the Dong Quai.
