My mom turns 50 this year. She is waking up at night with hot flashes….textbook she calls them. Soaking her nightgown with set…getting feverish….then it comes down ith chills and she is freezing. They make her get headaches and nausea from another planet! She has no prescription drug coverage, and I told her that hormone replacement therapy wasn’t a great option anyway because her mom had breast cancer….and over time HRT can lead/may cause cancer in women. Are there any over the counter herbs or products she could try? She is a great mother and an even better grandma to my son. We have another grandbaby on the way and she is getting depressed because it is really hindering her life. She is embarrassed and out of options. THANK YOU!

Many of the pills have very bad side effects. just wondering if there are any pills or vitamins, herbs, teas… ETC, anything that helps with weight loss and is not unhealthy. im trying to help out a friend who is overweight and very undetermined. Gym and eating healthy unfortunately are not options. please help.

I need to lose at least 40 pounds so I can have a slim and lean sexy body. I also lack the energy level I used to have when I was lighter. I tried some diets and exercise, but without lasting effects. So, how can I lose that weight naturally and with herbs without compromising my nutritional health in the process? Please give an advice of some good solution/method on the internet on herbal weight loss that will work.

Can you share some of your knowledge, thanks*
amounts and what it does would be great*

GREEN TEA: promote heart health, ward off cancer, fight obesity, lessen free radical damage to the cells, and even slow the progression of age-related cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease
CINNAMON: it also contains many health benefits such as: Anti-Clotting and Anti-Microbial actions, Blood Sugar Control, it boosts Brain Function, it’s Calcium and Fiber protect against Heart, and CAYENNE: Many herbalists believe that Cayenne is the most useful and valuable herb in the herb kingdom, not only for the entire digestive system, but also for the heart and circulatory system. It acts as a catalyst and increases the effectiveness of other herbs when used with them.

I’m thinking of trying St. John’s Wort for my depression; I don’t feel comfortable taking prescription meds. Anti-depressants increase your risk of suicide until the age of about 24 and I’m only 18. I’m really just looking for a natural alternative. I know if I go to my doctor with this question she’ll immediately say "Take Prozac because Pfizer gives me ,000 a year to prescribe it to everyone!" Kaiser Permanente and natural remedies do not mix well.

In my research I found that St. John’s Wort can interfere with birth control pills, but I haven’t found any info about it and depo? Is depo a progesterone only form of birth control like the pill? Do my chances of getting pregnant increase if I take this?

Also, are there any other natural remedies for depression? I mean supplements and herbs, I’ve tried exercise and meditation to no avail.
