I am 50 and have been in menopause for about 14 months. Since April of last year, I have experienced periods of INTENSE hot flashes and night sweats-sometimes 30 within 24 hours! These periods last 6-8 weeks and then the hot flashes reduce in intensity and occurance gradually over the next 10 weeks.ou can expect the hot flashes and night sweats to last for years after the onset of full menopause. The herbs are not causing the symptoms and HRT is supposed to help reduce them.
