PM me the recipe. I am having horrible ones at night. I now also have this little battery operated fan at work (thanks to sisturd) that you can put cold water in. I'm getting close to the menopausal thingy.

PS: I hate bananas, so it has to be other fruit.

I'd be interested too! I started menopause right after my son was born and I still have hot flashes and the migranes are killing me.

My night sweats started at 35 and they keep getting worse. Black cohash root and soy have done nothing. I will have to try this.

Flax oil and evening primrose oil are even better for your hot flashes, add them to your smoothie!

Not to freaky, just enough to still be a lady but just freaky enough to arouse a man's attention.

Oh YUCK! I would rather keep my hotflashes!


A friend of mine showed me that putting a little peppermint oil on the back of my neck and on my chest helps with my flashes. Keeps me fairly cool!
