it can also be an anxiety thing. so working with whatever is causing anxiety can help balance out the night sweats too. I agree with the female balancing herbs...black cohosh, vitex, red raspberry leaf, red clover. I'd also ty adding passion flower and chamomile at night just to ratchet down. good liver balancers, including stinging nettles and dandelion leaf (or any part of the dandelion plant, really) are also good constititional remedies that an be really hekpful with imbalane causing night sweets...but it takes a while for them to really make some cahnges.stay away from stimulating herbs such as maca, ginseng, anything caffeine containing.

and make sure our bedroom is sufficiently cool.

It is also a symptom of several tick-borne infections, which are known to be spreading incredibly rapidly since we've had some of the warmest years on record and they've mostly happened over the past 20 years (ie so some species of ticks are spreading to places they weren't as common before and their numbers are higher because they're not going dormant in the winter like they used to in some areas).

Other infections can cause night sweats besides tick borne infections. And, they often get mistaken for menopause- both the sweating, and a lot of other symptoms such as fatigue and pain.

Night sweats are one symptom sometimes found with LYme Disease, babesiosis (really common thing in the Northeast, huge number of people have it but most are asymptomatic, but the Red Cross is finally starting to panic about it being in the blood supply), and bartonella and ehrlichia infections.

I was thrown into menapause at an early age, so went thru the premarin treatments, found out how bad it was for my health, so began poking around trying to find something that would supplement the premarin while at the same time, do the same thing and reduce or illiminate the symptoms of night sweats, attitude, hot flashes, (which, by the way, are great in the dead of winter, but horrible in the heat of summer lol ) etc.

I found an ayervedic supplement which helps. (If interested int the product name, pm me and I will discuss it further)

What it does is balance the endocrine system which helps regulate hormonal balance.

Because it helps balance the endocrine system, it also helps regulate my thyroid which is a wonderful side effect.

I have had thyroid problems for over 10 years now and the combination in this herbal supplement really works for me. I don't know how it would work on anyone else. Plus its spendy.

I have tried the sage, the black cohosh, blue cohosh, wild yam, and numerous other single herbs as well as numerous other combinations of herbs. Each herb is great. But some would alleviate some of the symptoms, or rid them for a few days, but eventually the symptoms crept back so had to find something more permanent.

So far, over the last 20 + years I have searched, this is the only one that has touched all the symptoms and has helped to maintain stability for me.

I have been taking this product now for over 10 years and the results have been consistent.
