Guest guest Posted March 12, 1998 Report Share Posted March 12, 1998 From Austin I have had two patients on Tamoxifen after breast cancer who have both suffered terribly with hot flushes and night sweats. I have not had any success in helping them. I have tried Carduus to support the liver with Tarax rad, Cimicifuga, Salvia, Vitex and cooling herbs like Artemesia, Mentha pip etc. I am reluctant to try phyto-oestrogenic herbs like Trifolium because I understand according to a study quoted by Dr Low Dog, it binds to oestrogen receptors in breast tissue and black cohosh doesn't. In any case how viable a strategy is it when you are up against such a powerful oestrogen blocker as Tamoxifen? Has anyone successfully treated this problem?
