Looking for remedies for hot flashes and night sweats from tamoxifen

My local health food and vitamin store had quite a few “tries” but none of them made any difference for me. The one thing that has helped is a small fan on me all night. During the day I have a roll on with lavender oil in jojoba oil that I put on my hand or wrist and sniff right when I feel it coming on and it lessens them I think. I mostly use it in the summer when they can come and stay for hours.

Black cohosh was recommended. Not sure if it will work.

I am taking Tamoxifen for a month and do not have hot flushes. But fatigues and anxiety is getting worse.
As a
Holistic approach Is any body try Mistletoe injection as a cancer treatment help ?

I can find some information about studies in Europe but no approvals for use in the United States.

@auksst @auntieoakley @monigue @ptown :
When looking for and evaluating complementary therapies, I usually turn to NIH's National Center for Complementary and Integrated Medicine (NCCIH) website https://nccih.nih.gov/

In the section "Health Topics A-Z" current therapies and conditions are listed explaining the most recent evidence, cautions and potential of future studies.

Here is their information on
- Black Cohosh https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/black-cohosh
"The research is inconsistent on whether black cohosh helps to reduce hot flashes that are related to breast cancer treatment. People with breast cancer should avoid using black cohosh before talking with their health care provider."

- European Mistletoe https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/european-mistletoe
"European mistletoe is not a proven cancer treatment. It should not be used as a treatment for cancer outside of clinical trials."

Additionally, here are the search results on NCCIH for "hot flashes" https://search.usa.gov/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&affiliate=nccih&query=hot+flashes&searchsubmitbutton=

Thank you! Thank you!

I will check these out. Thank you. I have been having severe joint pain (pain scale 10) and then within a day or two it's semi gone. No one can tell me if it's the Tamoxifen.

Since my oncologist told me not to use soy products since I no longer want to take Tamoxifen, I think they want no estrogen in your body, natural or not.

I had chemo for breast cancer 29 years ago and went right into menopause with typical Sumter such as hot flashes, moodiness etc. i could not take estr, but my doctor recommended Effexor- low dose- and it definitely helped.
Antidepressants and other meds are still used, I believe.

I drink at least 2 liters of water every day. If I drink less than the 2 liters I have more hot flashes. I also sleep with a fan on at night.
