Has anyone used pepermint oil for hot flashes. I just learned that if you put some on the back of the neck before bed time that it helps with night sweats. There is also a spray you can use for daytime relief . I wished I would have known about this during treatment my hot flashes were so intense then . My freind says it really works. My hot flashes have subsided . I thought it might help some one out

@A MyBCTeam Member Thanks for the tip. I am just getting into essential oils. We oil-up my 2 yr olds feet at night so he will sleep longer! ha ~ Danielle

I'll let mom know. She hates spiders. We get Scorpions here so that may work.

I got a peppermint oil in a small bottle with a roller ball to apply. It did not help me with the night sweats but it did work for the hot flashes during the day, I just put it on the back of my neck 3 or 4 times a day

I don't know about scorpions, but I know we had some great big spiders, kind of a giant darker version of a garden spider. Since I started using peppermint oil, I hardly ever see one. Which is good since I am terrified of them.
