Thank you to Earth Clinic. I'm 52 and after a year of solid hot flashes ("flushes" for you Brits) when I was 48, they subsided suddenly. I was in a fairly dull relationship then which eventually ended. My periods are more erratic than ever, but that's to be expected. After a long "dry spell" I am now in a vigorous new relationship. To my shock and embarrassment, my hormones must be being stimulated because for these three weeks, I'm having almost endless hot flashes - all day and frequently (6-8 times at least) per night! Desperate for relief! Took black cohosh at night for a week - felt no difference. Today, I just gagged down my first 1 Tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar in 8 oz of room temp water. Boy, I sure hope it works! It's an awful taste, but perhaps like wheat grass juice, that depends on one's body chemistry. I'm going to take another 1 T on an empty stomach right before bed. Here's hoping! Thanks for posting your article and to everyone who commented. I am inspired by your stories.
