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!
That is a great idea BUT some people's skin is very snsetive to peppermint oil. I have in the past made a solution of Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap and water in a spray bottle, it was used as a camping soap, it cleans as well as refreshes, spray on and wipe off with a clean dry towel.
You can do the same with peppermint oil or add a few drops to a damp washcloth, just mind your eyes, wash your hands very carefully and don't get the oil near your eyes. I can deal with peppermint oil so I put it directly on with my hands,
it also keeps the mosquitoes away. Peppermint, lavendar and tea tree oils should be a staple in the Rx. cabinet.
where do you find the flax oil?
You can get flax oil @
The Good earth Natural Foods Co. in Leonardtown or any natural foods store. Capsules are available at any pharmacy but I find the oil is better, never heat the oil or cook with it, you can however put it in oatmeal, salad dressing or smoothies.
Flax oil and evening primrose oil are even better for your hot flashes, add them to your smoothie!
You're such a prevert and I love it!
