Home Treatment for hot flashes

To cure hot flashes you will need to take such plants which keep the body cool like, chickweed, violet and elder. Plants such as dong quai, dandelion and yellow dock, increase oxygen utilization in the body. Black Cohosh (not advisable for pregnant or nursing women) is rich in phytosterols while others like, fennel, unicorn root, red clover and wild yam root are useful herbs in the treatment of hot flashes.


You can take these as supplements or in the form of infusion as they supply vitamins B & C, magnesium and potassium to the body. The herb dong quai, if taken as an emmenagogue, relives emotional and upset duress apart from being a natural cure for hot flashes.

Take 15-25 drops of the tincture of the herb motherwort 3 to 4 times a day.


Continue this for 3 months but if you experience menstrual flooding then avoid its usage. It also relieves anxiety and insomnia and is very effective as an alternative therapy for reducing the frequency and severity of hot flashes.

Licorice is another powerful herbal cure for hot flashes. Consume 100 mg of licorice root a day but not for more than a month. After that it would be prudent to consult your physician.
