Dear Bob Liebert,

It has been determined that I am premenopausal, I have hot flashes like last night where I felt like my whole body was running a temp of 104 degrees. What can I do to ease it up? Is there anything? I just could not get my mind or body to relax then it hit like a ton of bricks and I was up all night . I manage a store and going to work dragging just doesn't cut it. I also am on a heart pill called Inderal 10 mg.

Dear Friend,

I would suggest using the Passion Flower extract as an aid for sleeplessness with mental unrest, lessening hot flashes, and for whenever tension brings on symptoms. The MNPS Formula taken daily will help with hormonal balance. Sometimes a cooling herb like Elder Flower and/or Chickweed can make a difference where one feels hot much of the time.

Yours in healing,
Bob Liebert, herbalist
