Hi!
A friend of mine seems to be having good results using Evening Primrose Oil, which was suggested by her family doctor. I believe she is also using Black Cohosh. Both are natural supplements. I think Vitex (Chasteberry) is also supposed to be good for menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes. I am using Vitex for PMS, and it has helped. My PMS is not gone, but it is certainly not as bad as it used to be. I seem to recall having read that a supplement of soy isoflavins may also help with menopausal symptoms. Now, the thing that one has to keep in mind is that a natural supplement is certainly not going to work as quickly as a prescription medication.
I hope you find something to help you.
