I would love to have you talk about Estrovera in one of your posts (www.estrovera.com). I was advised to take this early in perimenopause six years ago by my (former) Ob-gyn. Its active ingredient is Siberian rhubarb. I was/am hesitant to take any kind of MHT because I am at high risk for breast cancer. The thing is, it seemed to help at first for my worst symptom, which was brain fog, not hot flashes. But now I am wondering if that was just placebo effect. It didn't seem to do much for my hot flashes one way or the other, but they weren't bothering me that much. The brain fog eventually went away (for the most part, lol) but it bothered me that I was only able to get Estrovera from her office, and it was costing me about $1/day because of course it was not covered by my insurance. I tried researching it but didn't come up with much. Eventually I dropped it, and her, and got a new Ob/gyn that I trust much more. My hot flashes are about the same, maybe a little less, now that I am fully menopausal.
