Help enclosed! Re: Help for HOT FLASHES?... Grrrr. SLASH. Strangled hair-raising scream... IT'SNOTFUNNY
YES! The Female Formula DOES help with hot flashes (that's not just the voice of the thousands who have used it successfully, but the voice of someone has experienced it's relief first hand...me! :o) And you will NOT have to wait weeks to see the benefits (yay!)

>>>NOTE: An EFFECTIVE OVERALL Female Tonic. It provides Women with Herbal Phytochemicals, that are NEEDED to create Hormones, helps to BALANCE the Hormones and CALMS the nerves.<<<
The "secret" here is that we're not giving the body various isolated hormones in a balance/ratio where we actually have no idea of what the actual ratio should be; instead, we're giving the body a complete array of 'hormone food ingredients' that it needs to create the ratio/balance that our body knows is perfect for itself.
>>>I'm under incredible, unbelievable, excruciating (i.e. bad) stress due to aging mom issues. Don't know if this is making things worse. <<<
Here's a big, thick, handmade quilt of love and understanding to wrap yourself in (and a fluffy pillow of 'peacefulness' for your weary head & brain). The 'aging parent' thing is something very few of us are prepared to handle (it bashed me to smithereens a couple of years ago). So I say "yes", it likely IS making things worse, and please do yourself a HUGE favor and get yourself a pound of organic Ashwagandha root powder (dosage 1-3 tablespoons daily). It is very beneficial for everything 'stress related' and a gigantic blessing for your hormones & adrenal glands (whenever we have 'stress' we NEED to support our adrenals!). You can order it from either of these two places:

Remember, one of the symptoms of adrenal stress is "hyper-reactivity". 'Sounds to me like you might be experiencing this a bit (???)...I know I did when it was rough with my mom. If so, the Ashwagandha/Female Formula combo will give you HUGE amounts of relief (there's a couple of herbs in the Female Formula that are beneficial for the adrenals, too).
Healthiest of blessings -

P.S. Regarding this? [Full disclosure here: I have been taking progesterone (wild yam) cream and DIM for months. I smugly thought these had it under control, since I've gone months at a time with no flashes. I know how you feel about supplements, Uny, but... GRRRRRRR]
Full disclosure rightbackatcha - LOL...cut that out, young lady!! I am GLAD that you're sharing what you're taking - there's no other way for me to even have a CHANCE at being a beneficial teacher/coach if you don't.
Please don't EVER worry about sharing the truth with me. We are all on different stairsteps of different stairways (hopefully all climbing to achieve the same goal - a healthy body/life). What you're taking is FAR superior to ANY pharmaceutical...it's just not as effective or as 'balancing' as other more natural options.
