Dear Danice,

I attended a lecture on women’s health last year, and heard you speak about some products you recommend for hot flashes, mood swings, and PMS.  I need it for hot flashes and my daughter needs it for PMS.  I’ve never heard of a Naturopath doctor before, but I enjoyed your lecture.  Thank you.

Dear Marlene,

My favorite product for mood swings and PMS is a product called FEMALE drops.  This product is offered by Dr. Richard Schulze.  He also offers FEM PLUS drops.  This formula has additional herbs to help you relax, so it’s best to take it only at night.  Dr Schulze’s web site is www.herbdoc.com.  His herbal formulas are outstanding.  I have used many of them myself over the years.  As for the hot flashes, the product I like best is called DIM. (Di-Indolylmethane) This is also a plant based product.  It is available from a company called Health Resources (www.healthresources.net) – wishing you relief.
