How do I cope with hot flashes.?

They are driving me insane. Especially at night. It is non stop all day long. I spend half my time removing and putting on sweaters and covers. I am not getting much sleep at all.

I don' like the idea of replacement hormone therapy (and my doc says so too). I am looking for something nautual if possible. This has been going on for the last 10 years (I'm 60) and shows no sign of stopping; in fact they are worse.
