    Hot flashes deplete our bodies of the B vitamins, vitamin C, and magnesium and potassium, so it is helpful to increase our consumption of these nutrients, and don't forget Calcium.

    Cold washcloths and fans help some women if the heat is the main iisue. Whatever you can do to **relax and distract** if you are having heart palpitations will help. Music, TV, talking to your hubby if he is awake and willing. Just do very low key things to keep your mind calm.

    Other things to try:

    Vitamin E, 600 to 800 IUs daily with vitamin C. When flashes subside, take 400 IUs daily. However, it may take 2 to 6 weeks before the effects are really felt. Women who are diabetic or taking high blood pressure medication or with rheumatic heart conditions should take vitamin E under a doctor's supervision. It's also advisable that women with a history of hypertension not take dosages higher than 200 IU of Vitamin E at a time.

    Bioflavonoids in supplements of 250 mg 3 to 5 times daily can help relieve hot flashes.

    If they really get bad and last so long you are not sleeping or very uncomfortable, of course ask your OB-GYN or other doctor about it.

    Try Estroven. You can buy it at most drugstores. It is in the vitamin area. It really helps.

    Natural remedies can greatly support hot flashes. The following herbs are especially helpful:

    Cimicifuga racemosa (Black cohosh) This herb is a supportive ingredient for the nervous system and has been used over the ages as a remedy to provide support for female gynecological health. (This ingredient has also been researched for its ability to support routine temperature regulation in the female body. Black Cohosh has also been studied for its ability to routinely support estrogen balance in the body.

    Pulsatilla vulgaris (Pasque flower) This herb has a natural tonic effect on the nervous system and is also a soothing and supportive herb for the female reproductive organs.
