Flax Seed



Share Emailz

Flax seeds, red clover, black cohosh, dong quai, vitamin E and many others have been used to combat hot flashes. I would recommend talking with your ocologist before taking any of these because some of them are phytoestrogens. There are some antidepressants that can cut hot flashes too but some should not be taken if you are on tamoxifen or an AI. I would check with an oncologist to see what might be a good option for you. I was on tamoxifen and my oncologist suggested vitamin E twice a day and it helped me.
