What is a natural remidy for night sweats??


Answers: You could try the herb Sage Leaf. It has a balancing effect on the sweat glands - if you sweat too much it will bring it down, and if you don't sweat enough it will bring it up. It takes at least four weeks to work though. You can purchase it in health food stores, two capsules in the morning and two in the evening. Hope this helps.
You didn't state if you are getting night sweats from peri-menopause or menopause itself. If this is the reason you are getting them you might want to try a bio-identical hormone cream if you are NOT on estrogen replacement therapy.

I purchase mine from www.askdrnancy.com There is a short questionaire you can fill out to determine which cream will work best for you. The one for night sweats contains red clover. The cream is very inexpensive and one jar will last a long time as you use a very small amount of it. I have used the cream for about a year now and love it!
First you need to find the cause and there are many..
find a good internal medicine doc and make certain it is not pulmonary or something else.
I suffer with hot flashes and get completely sweaty. I have tried everything the doctors recommended and have found that while there really isn't a cure there are some things that can help. I found a source for pj's that evaporate the sweat really quickly. I can even wear the tank tops to exercise class and am much drier than the others there. On top of everything else, I live in a sweltering climate and wear the tank top out. I used to wake up every night soaked and now there are nights when the pj's dissipate the sweat fast enough that I just sleep through it. I tried a few different brands of pj's and the ones that worked the best and were the most comfortable are available at www.cooljamaz.com
Good Luck... I wish there was more for us. But at least this is something.
Also, some people swear by black cohash but I don't really like to take anything...
I had bad night sweats. It turned out I had cancer - non Hodgkins lymphoma to be exact. It could also be a thyroid problem though, or just that you are sweaty naturally. Good luck. If you feel tired all the time, have any pain or lose weight with no diet, see your Doctor.
