What did women do for menopausal symptoms (i.e. hot flashes, etc.) prior to hormonal replacement therapy?


I am curious about what women may have done (prior to say thirty to forty years ago) because I have such incredible relief from extreme perimenopausal/menopausal symptoms (namely extreme hot flashes and mood changes) with the use of plant based hormones estrogen and progesterone.

I use a natural hormone estrogen called estradial. I also drink a lot of soy milk. I've had no luck with over the conter natural products. I guess a lot depends on if this is a natural menopause, or if it is from a surgical menopause. Sudden menopause from surgery is harder to control.

some find that soy helps...some docs will also suggest black cohosh (both can be found in the vitamin/herbal aisle). There's also supplements such as estroven that you could try.
