To: debbie c. about menopause symptoms question?

you asked this:


Do menopausal symptoms ever go away?


Symptoms such as hot flashes, will I have these for the rest of my life?





I answered you %26amp; chose my reply as best answer but you'd asked what herbs I'm using for these symptoms. But the way this answer place is, I couldnt find any other way to reply except this way, so hoefully you'll read this.





The herbs I use are these:





black cohosh (root), 540mg, 1 capsule 3 times a day.


dong quai (root), 565mg., 2 capsules 3 times a day.





Unfortunately, it's been my experience if you try to get these strengths at the big food stores that don't specialize in organics %26amp; herbal supplements, the strengths are very low- 40mg only and not effective because of this. There are lots of places that sell these (%26amp; others) like Wild Oats Market (here in Denver) %26amp; Vitamin Cottage %26amp; others. The website for this brand I use "Natures Way" has a list of stores at:

or you could go cold turkey and stick it out for 10 years. That works too.
