After six months of chemotherapy for breast cancer, I was placed on tamoxifen. My hormonal changes and hot flashes have been debilitating. I perspire, turn red, and nearly faint most of the time. My oncologist has prescribed everything he could think of, and nothing was working. A friend recommended that I try this product, wild yam root, and much to my amazement, I now suffer hot flashes only once or twice a day for a few seconds. I can finally sleep through the night and continue my teaching job. What a miracle!
