My hot flashes were eliminated almost overnight by drinking soy milk. Hope I'm explaining this properly, but this is what I understand:
Soy contains isoflavins (isoflavinoids?) that mimic estrogen, which is what your body is missing during menopause.
I had no idea how much to take so I decided to start out drinking 3 small glasses a day. The 1st day I experienced the usual hot flashes. The 2nd day I noticed a lessening. After a few more days they stopped entirely. Slowly I drank less and less soy milk.
This was all experimental, and my own experience.
Eventually, after maybe 3 months, I stopped the milk and experienced no more hot flashes.
I hope you find something that works for you!
