As the menopause can also make you feel very tired, this is something I have tried and found very useful.
Rhodiola is used to combat fatigue and is one of those herbal remedies where you can tell whether it's going to work within days rather than weeks. You sort of feel a lift and know whether you will benefit from it in about 4-5 days.
One precaution is that if it helps you, don't be tempted to increase the dose as this can actually cause anxiety.
I found out the hard way.
In fact since I am quite sensitive to herbs etc, I only use 100mg of Rhodiola Rosea, on an empty stomach, in the morning.

Could having a slice of cake help hot flashes?
I discovered the menopause cake recently, claiming to help menopause problems.
It is supposed to be high in phytoestrogens as it contains linseed and soya flour.
Apparently some women find it a great help whilst others do not benefit.
Now I happen to be a bit lazy, so I ordered some from a a website called bake-it.com which is based in the UK.
If you would like a recipe for it, you can get it at menopause cake.
In my case, I couldn't tell for sure whether it helped as I had started other supplements at the same time and then gave up after 6 weeks or so, but you might want to try it and see if it helps you.
