  • Take Black Cohosh in tablets and in cream form on my wrist or back of neck. And crank up the AC. Stay away from all caffeine, chocolate and spicy foods. Also...
    - Sleep in a cool room.
    - Dress in layers, which can be removed at the start of a hot flash.
    - Have a drink of cold water or juice when you feel a hot flash coming on.
    - Use sheets and clothing that let your skin “breathe.”
    - Don’t smoke.
