Ask Dr. Taz MD May 5th, 2014

Dear Dr. Taz,
I am 52, went through menopause when I was 38-years-old and am still suffering from hot flashes. What can Ido?  

Answer: 
The symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes are signs of hormone instability. A South American herb, Maca, has been found to be helpful.  Try taking 1 dropper or approximately 500 mg per day.  Also, evening primrose oil is helpful at 600 mg 2x per day. Finally, remember your liver and colon also have to work efficiently to help hormonebalance.
