How to counteract heat in a 70 year old woman?

Hi,What exactly was the reason for the hormone to be discontinued? And how often does she suffer from hot flashes now?

?

Thank you for the information. I do understand that her doctor wanted to stop the hormones.In a small study done a few years ago, about 1 in 3 women saw an improvement in their symptoms after taking vitamin E every day (about 100mg per day). I think this would be an interesting avenue for her to start with, especially since it is one of the few over-the-counter treatments with a little evidence of effectiveness.Tell her to try taking it for at least 2 months before concluding it doesn't work. She should also inform her treating team (physician, pharmacist) if she is taking anticoagulants, as there may be drug interactions with vitamin E.Tell her to try it for at least 2 months before concluding that it does not work.
