What herbs relieve menopausal night sweats?
I can recommend herbal teas, or black cohash or what-have-you, but they will not cure night sweats. You can alleviate your symptoms some, but if your estrogen is tanked, you will have night sweats and hot flashes, and the only fix for low estrogen is more estrogen. So, if you are bound and determined not to go that route, you can use cold compresses and bathe your forehead before you go to sleep at night, strip off your pajamas when you first wake up sweating and throw off the sheets, keep a fan running and, if all else fails, turn down the a/c until you are through the worst of it. I don’t know how long “the worst of it” will take with you–I couldn’t go six months without estrogen before I had an emotional breakdown and had to go back on anti-depressants after a decade without them, as well as becoming physically unable to have sex until I went on HRT, but YMMV.
