I've kicked up my exercise routine to a higher intensity cardio workout for 20 minutes 3 X a week; no more hot flashes. I noticed this last year after going back to daily walking only; hot flashes returned. Now I'm back to walking and the bike on alternate days; everything under control.
A client swears by acupuncture after 3 years of hot flashes.
Of course, massage therapy helps reduce the stress and increases circulation (I want to do a study on MT for hot flashes in the near future; me thinks we could cure global warming).

I'll tell you a funny story about hot flashes.
I'd a chair massage gig at a mothers group last year and there were 2 other chair massage therapists there. The Moms were coming in for 5 minute chair massages for about a 2 hour straight stint and the 3 of us were in the same room. What happens as soon as I'm set up? I have a hot flash that was like a tsunami and I look like I'd just run a marathon. Man, it was embarrassing. The women would traipse into the room, look at the 3 of us and hope that they weren't going to the dripping drowned rat in the middle.
The mothers group asked me back anyway for another session, but maybe it was out of sympathy!
Walking helped me - I don't have them all that frequently though - maybe once every couple of months (more of a "peri").

Our chiropractor recommends a supplement called "Progestease." It's a liquid in a small squeeze bottle and you put it under your tongue.
One man came into our office to pick up a bottle for his wife and his comment was "I don't care if we have to sell our house and our business, she better never run out of this again."
I cracked up. Apparently he thought it helped her quite a bit.

Peppermint oil in the inside of the wrist and elbow help me during a flash. Sadly, when I kicked up my exercise routine, my flashes got worse although I feel much better, so I'll live with a few hot spells. I dress in layers and drink lots of fluids. No sugar or wheat also helps me. Have fun!
