There' s a great product called the ChiliPad: : http://www.chilitechnology.com It’s a bed chiller! It’s a mattress pad that is cooled with water, and you can set it on a timer for different temperatures (anywhere down to 46 degrees!) and you can also get a dual zone one that sets different temperatures for each side of the bed. Comes with a remote control which is great when I’m groggy and don’t want to get up to change the temp. I too refuse to go on HRT, and having a drug-free mechanical solution to the problem has been a life-saver for me. ALSO – I got fewer hot flashes during the day because of getting a full night of sleep. I wanted to add another menopause tip - for dealing with hot flashes.

Lavender oil can help balance the hormone level as well, and is cheap. If you can afford it, Neroli oil (from orange blossom) and Rose oil (very expensive) are very effective in dealing with the mood swings. can buy these 2 oils diluted in jojoba oil which makes them a bit cheaper. Any of these oils can be added to massage oils or added a few drops into a bath. Lemon and peppermint oils can help with hot flashes.

You are doing a good thing by educating yourself on the topic and learning what you can. That will help. There are too many people out there who don't know what to do and part of the problem is that they don't know what they're dealing with. Another important thing is to just support her. It's not an easy time but be kind and understanding. Sometimes women just need to cry even if they don't know why. Try to be patient with her if you find yourself not understanding.
