I really hope it helps you Bizi

Good luck Bizi.

I will be looking to see how it works.

After reviewing the scientific evidence, the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database, concluded that evening primrose oil is “possibly effective” for treatment of breast pain (but may not be effective for severe, long-term pain) and for treatment of osteoporosis when used in combination with calcium and fish oils. The review also found evening primrose oil “possibly ineffective” for treating PMS, ADHD, eczema, and hot flashes and night sweats due to menopause. The review found insufficient evidence to rate effectiveness of evening primrose oil for treating chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, complications of pregnancy, Sjogren’s syndrome and concluded that more evidence is needed to assess the possible benefit of EPO for the treatment of cancer, acne, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, high cholesterol, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Nutrition and Supplements – Herbs for Menopause
Try the following natural remedies and menopause treatments, including herbs:

• Soy foods. The isoflavones in soy foods help balance hormone levels and have some estrogenic activity. There is ongoing research about the safety and efficacy of isolated soy isoflavone supplements. While the initial results look promising, we currently recommend using natural soy foods rather than supplements. Choose from tofu, soy milk, roasted soy nuts or tempeh.
• Flaxseed. Substances called lignins in flaxseed are important modulators of hormone metabolism. Grind flaxseed daily in a coffee grinder at home and use 1 to 2 tablespoons a day.
• Dong quai. Dong quai (Angelica sinensis) is known both in China and the West for its ability to support and maintain the natural balance of female hormones. It does not have estrogenic activity. This is one of the herbs for menopause that should not be taken if a woman is experiencing heavy bleeding.
• Black cohosh (Cumicifuga racemosa). One of the best-studied traditional herbs for menopause, black cohosh is used to help alleviate some symptoms of menopause, and is considered an effective hot flash remedy. Black cohosh seems to work by supporting and maintaining hormonal levels, which may lessen the severity of hot flashes. Many women report that the herb works well but it isn’t effective for everyone. While any therapy that influences hormonal actions should be a concern, black cohosh does not appear to have estrogenic activity and thus may be safe for women with a personal or family history of breast cancer.
• Vitamin E. A daily dose of 400 IUs of natural vitamin E (as mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols) can help alleviate symptoms of hot flashes in some menopausal women.
• B vitamins. This group of water-soluble vitamins may help women deal with the stress of menopausal symptoms.
• Evening primrose oil or black currant oil. These are sources of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that can help influence prostaglandin synthesis and help moderate menopausal symptoms.

This is what I am waiting to come in:

If you're looking to supplement your diet with some soy, vanilla soy milk is pretty tasty…

Yes thanks for reminding me that soy milk can definitely help.
So thank you. I will get some, may take it at night before I go to bed.
I have never had soy milk before is the vanilla sweetened?
I had one hot flash last night that woke me up. not bad though, had to take off my leggings!
We keep the house cooler during winter days with the heat set on 68.
So will get some prim rose oil and soy milk.

The vanilla soy milk I drank had to be sweetened, I just don't know with what. I was drinking it at a time when I wasn't concerned about those things. That was years ago. I'm sure there are different options now. If you can get it unsweetened, you could always sweeten it yourself with a high quality plain stevia.

I bought some silk vanilla lightly sweetened with stevia.
I will have some tonight.
I did not get the primrose oil...have enough things to take....
geesh!

I drank 8 oz of the soy milk, tasty!
See if that helps.

I'm glad you liked the vanilla soy milk! Awesome you found it with stevia!
