I replaced regular milk with soy milk for my morning cereal. My hot flashes were not that bothersome. It also helps to have a ceiling fan in your bedroom.

Thanks. i'll give it shot, as repulsive as soy milk is.

I'm told by my naturalpathic friends to take 2or 3 handfuls of edamame daily to help hot flashes.All soy is supposed to help.Personally the soy milks give me too much gas..Not so with edamame, and tofu..
