I have had night sweats off and on for a couple of years, but every night for the past 2 months. For three of those weeks I was traveling and in different beds and covers, so it was definitely hormonal and not overheating. I thought it would take a few weeks for this to work, if at all, but on day three and also now on day four, no night sweats. I… Read more ·  2

am amazed. I can’t think how it could be placebo as nothing else has changed. My husband says the nights are colder, but after 2 consistent months I find it hard to believe this is the difference. Like I said, shocked and sceptical, but I will take the win for now. Only downside is it is harder to get out of bed in the cold mornings when I am not damp and cold.

Mehh…. May work for some :( – Wife is suffering with roughly 5 or 6 hot flushes a night from early menopause. Had high hopes for these tablets but they have done squat. Wife has been on them for about 6 weeks and absolutely no change at all. Sounds like there are some positive reviews which is great news for the people taking them but no help for the wife. Anyhow the wife is going to the doctor today to see what alternatives there are. Show details

Got flushed increased – Took this years ago and it didn’t work, now nearing the end of menopause and can’t get my estraderm patch in Australia. So was advised to try this again. Took it for 2 weeks, lower abdominal pain, hot flushes INCREASED!!!!! from 8 during day time and 6 overnight, headaches and bloating. No good for me. Show details

Miracle herb! – I’m 47 and I’ve been tolerating peri menopausal symptoms for quite a few years now (night sweats around my cycle, heart palps, anxiety etc) but about 2 months ago they suddenly got ten times worse to the point where it was greatly affecting my quality of life!! 3-4 sweats a night (and terrible sleep!) and similar during the day, plus anxiety etc.… Read more

So I decided to finally start trying Remifem. Amazing!! I reckon it took about 5-10 days to work for me. I’ve only been on it for a month (1x morning and night) and I feel like a new person. The most noticeable differences are: Improved sleep (straight 6 hrs instead of waking up every 2 hrs) Headaches and brain fog have disappeared No more night sweats Hot flushes almost non existent No more anxiety /irritability Greatly reduced bloating/ gas/ digestive issues My skin appears to have improved as well (back and shoulder blemishes have gone) Heart palpitations have settled I hope it keeps working for me because I feel great!!

Took 3 weeks to kick in, BUT WOW!!! – Like my title says, it took a while to work, but once it did, WOW!! - I've gone from 12-20 severe hot flushes a day to maybe 1 or 2 barely noticeable ones!! I'm 52, and about a month ago, the hot flushes arrived...with gusto. I was getting them every hour or so, 24 hrs a day. Thankfully, I hadn't began to experience much depression or change… Read more

in mood yet, apart from the dreaded realisation that this debilitating spontaneous combustion could now be part of my daily life for several years! I was dreading going to bed, even though I was completely exhausted,...and specifically dreading winter, knowing how much I feel the cold, how would I cope with being hot then cold then hot then cold all the time? Anyway, once Remifemin began to work, I can honestly say my life was restored to normal. Stick with it if you don't get great results straight away, I know some people do, BUT, my doctor assures me that most herbal based remedies for any issue take up to 5 weeks to properly work, as they work by changing the way your body reacts to an issue, rather than addressing the actual Issue. I would even forgo my beloved coffee if I had to choose between the 2!! ( thankfully, I haven't had to do that yet!)

Changed my life (and others around me) ! – I am currently in the early stages of early menopause suffering night sweats, grumpiness and generally feeling like crap. Read up on Remifemin and after taking it for 2 weeks I started to feel better. Night sweats has ceased and my general outlook felt much sunnier. I have been taking Remifemin for about 3 months and I feel fabulous :) It… Read more

worked a treat for me. Highly recommended !

UPDATE November, 2018:

I have now been taking Remifemin for approximately 9 months and I feel GREAT ! I did stop taking it for a week about 2 months ago and I just starting feeling awful. Stressed, short tempered, on edge all the time and also the dreaded night sweats had returned. I went straight back on the tablets and after a couple of weeks I generally felt better about myself and started sleeping more soundly (without sweating during the night).

For me, Remifemin is an affordable, drama free way of controlling the side effects of my Menopause adventure !

Thumbs Up! – Bang! Started hourly hot flushes only 6 weeks ago and really, really wasnt coping, day or night. I totally take my hat off to all menopausal women before me, and what they must have suffered through. Back to topic - within a few days of taking 2 per day, i noticed a difference, and a week later i am barely noticing the remaining flushes that i am… Read more

still having. Slept through the night last and im so happy. I am so grateful this product exists - thank you from the bottom of my perimenopausal heart x

Pretty damn good! – I was surprised how fast these started working! A few days maybe- I just went from regular hot flashes to barely any! One thing I have noticed is that I’m feeling a little bloated and am having trouble losing weight whereas it was easier before I started them. I still would definitely recommend though!  Show details

Definite no from me! – Didn't work for me at all. Of the several side effects listed on the box, I experienced several of them - nausea, vomiting, unusual tiredness, loss of appetite, stomach pain! Stopped using it immediately & wouldn't recommend. Shame, so wanted this to work. Show details

Disappointed – Took this for 8 weeks one in morning and one at night with no changes at all to occurrence or severity of hot flushes, so was disappointed. Had hoped for some relief but none arrived. Medication not inexpensive so for me was waste of money. Show details

Two stars is a bit tough, but did nothing for me – Used this for about two months, morning and evening. Think it may have helped me go back to sleep but didn’t seem to relieve any of my hot flushes / night sweats. Pretty disappointed really as I’ve had them for a couple of years and so over them. Seems to work for others. Show details

I think it's working – I started on this product Monday; it's now Thursday I've had no hot flushes - Tuesday I felt like I was going to have them- but it then stopped - feeling less hormonal anxiety - more calm + sleeping like a baby. If this continues, I'll be back to my old self in no time :) Fingers crossed. Show details

Kept Me Awake Most of the Night! – I've been on this a week which I know is early days. However, since taking it twice a day as directed, I've been unable to sleep and I'm wide awake most of the night. I seem to have lots of energy through the day which is very odd as I'd expect to be exhausted through lack of sleep. I'm a little disappointed after reading the good reviews but maybe it's just not for me. Show details

Assisted with the start of hot flushes – I have not yet been diagnosed as peri-menopausal but I must be getting close (54 soon). I started getting hotter body temperature wise this summer and I have noticed hot flushes start during the last 3 weeks. I also move from one side of the bed to the other during the night trying to find a cool spot to continue sleeping. I started these… Read more

tablets about 4 days ago and I'm taking 1 in the morning and 1 at night. My hot flushes were about 4 to 5 a day without the sweaty face (thank God) but sine the tablets I think I've only had 2.

I am also sleeping better at night. I still stir but not to the extent that I was of tossing and turning to different parts of the bed. If everything keeps going this way I'll stay on them as in just a few days they've made a change for me.

I got a packet of 200 on special luckily - $29.99 from Chemist Warehouse (a saving of $24.95 apparently).

Hot flushes gone – My mom in Germany recommended this product and I am glad I found it here in Australia, too. I was suffering from severe hot flushes, 20-30 times a day, and cause for sleepless nights. I still can’t believe they are GONE and it is such a relief as it really affected my wellbeing. It took almost exactly 4 weeks till it kicked in, definitely worth trying!!!! Show details

Amazing!! Flushes gone in 3 weeks – I started to see a reduction in hot flushes after week 1, then by week 3 gone completely, amazing!! I take one tablet in the morning and one late afternoon, I found if I took it too late I had weird dreams. This product has made a massive difference to my days. I’m still kept awake periodically at night from menopausal itching!!! Take this consistently and I’m sure it’ll work for anyone. Show details

I came off HRT when Remifemin was recommended to me – Unfortunately after two months and upping the dose to 3 a day I have not seen an improvement. In fact the last week has seen my hot flushes and sweats becoming more regular and much stronger. I'm going back to HRT with a heavy heart. Show details

Worked straight away – I work in the healthcare industry and usually turn my nose up at herbal remedies. For the last year I have been experiencing symptoms of menopause most notably night sweats where I have had to get up and change drenched pj’s and pillowcase. I also suffer from heart palpitations, irritability, anxiety and headaches. I didn’t want to start HRT so… Read more

decided try Remifemin never thinking they’d actually work. After a week of use I haven’t had any night sweats, have slept for a full 6 hours before waking and have noticed that my usual monthly migraine has not happened. I doubt this is a placebo affect as I wasn’t expecting much in the first place. Definitely give them a go if you experience these symptoms.

What a relief – Going through menopause without taking HRT was my own choice, I suffered with very bad insomnia, only getting about 2 to 3 hours sleep, with hot flashes constantly throughout the day and night was debilitating, I was irritable, moody and felt as if I was going insane, I'm a runner and run 5kms every day and this was not helping me sleep, I tried… Read more

other products and nothing worked at all, I decided to give Remifemin a go and see if they helped, I started taking 2 in the morning and 1 at night, have been taking them now for almost 3 weeks, I have noticed that my sleep pattern has improved greatly, I'm now sleeping about 6 hours every night and my hot flashes have decreased by half, I'm delighted, what a game changer, I feel much happier in myself and have so much more energy, wish I had found these earlier.

I feel human again – I started taking Remifemin two weeks ago after having my ovaries hypofunction after a hysterectomy. The night sweats, sleeplessness, anxiety and tears made me feel like life had instantly become a nightmare. Within three days of taking it I noticed no night sweats and the anxiety wasnt as intense. By the beginning of week two I was sleeping 6… Read more

hours, a major plus on the two hours I was having prior. I also noticed emotionally I felt better than I have in months. So happy my GP recommended this product to me

Really worth a try – I actually felt instant relief from hot flushes. I take remifemin plus one in the morning and one at nighttime. During the day they were very effective, but I found that night just not enough relief, though still better than not taking. But for me getting through a day at work without horrible hot flushes was great. Definitely worth trying this product.

Best product ever – This stuff is awesome. I was waking in the middle of the night with hot flushes and my sleep was broken. After taking this product for a week I haven't had ANY more hot flushes at all. My sleep still isnt the greatest but not waking to a hot flush is so good. I will continue to take this product while it continues to work.

Worth a go! – I am just now 50, and having gone through Menopause with HRT for the last 5 years, believed I was finished. Then about 6-months after finishing the HRT, it all came back. The constant tears, sleepless nights with night sweats, multiple hot flushes throughout the day. I have just started a new job and was terrified I would lose it due to the… Read more

emotions. Tried Remifemin, 1 tablet, twice daily. Been on it only a week and already the symptoms are starting to ease, the most noticeable is sleeping all night and no more tears. Hoping it will last so I do not have to go back on HRT. Fingers crossed!!!

Worked for my symptoms – I was waking up every night due to hot flushes because of menopause, so I bought some Remifemin. I’m happy to say that after only a short time, my hot flushes stopped. This product works for me.

Back to normal! – I am 49 and have suffered 12 months of debilitating dizziness and balance issues. I had not had a day off work in five years prior, and I was very active and fit. The dizziness was constant and debilitating, I had to take 3 months off work and gym, feeling too ill and fatigued. I saw my GP multiple times, a vestibular physio and a top migraine… Read more

neurologist, I tied a few migraine meds and vestibular exercises, which only resulted in feeling worse. I felt hopeless and emotional and began to think I’d never shake the dizziness and fatigue. I’d always been such a high energy girl. Finally after 11 months I decided to try Remifemin after going some reading and having a colleague recommend it. I started with one tablet twice a day but increased to two tablets twice a day and after 4 weeks I just can believe how much better I’m feeling. The dizziness has lifted and my energy levels are returning. I’m getting my mojo back and feeling amazing. Fingers crossed this continues. I’ve expedited no side effects Amazing! I’m so grateful

Remifemin made me smile again – I WAS suffering terrible hot flushes several times a day. The only way i could cool off was to lay on the tiles..just like the dogs do when they are hot. A friend recommended remifemin so l decided to give it a try....Best thing ever. The tablets took about 3 weeks to work but yeeha...no more hot flushes! I definately recommend it! ....Beth

I'm back to my old self again – I've been taking remifemin now for over 4 years now and I will never stop taking them. I was recommended to try remifemin by my chemist after my doctor said that I was starting pre-menopause and I was getting hot sweats etc. I wasn't sure it would work at all but to my surprise it did and pretty much in the first week. I take 2 tablets in the… Read more

Remifemin Plus works just give it time – I was skepital at first because nothing was happening but it said it could take 2-4 months to work, so I persisted. Sure enough after 2 months there was a decrease in my symptoms, at least 50% for my hot flushes and night sweats, now 3 months on and they're pretty much all gone, so happy.

Saved my life – I just want to say that after months of continuous sweating & headaches and all other symptoms, but the sweating profusely was horrendous, it got to the stage I didn't want to go out anywhere. I went to my doctor who run blood tests for any thyroid problems, which all came back fine. He then asked me a few questions & suggested HR therapy, which I… Read more

didn't want to take.

He then suggested something natural and mentioned Remifemin.

So I was desperate. I went and purchased them from chemistwarehouse 100 tablets for $22.50 I am almost speechless because of the almost instant relief I have experienced. They litrilary have saved my life. I would recommend anyone suffering from similar problems to try them. No more sweating profusely when out, it's all stopped.

I'm 52 & have been suffering for some time but it got unbearable.

I'm so glad I found this product. It's truly amazing & better still all natural.

Thank you Remifemin!

December 15th 2017 Update: Unbelievable results

I've now been taking this for over 2 months & I am astounded by the results. I was in a constant sweat it was horrendous, mood swings, but mist deblitating was the constant sweats. I almost got to the stage where I didn't want to go anywhere, but since taking Remifemin Menopause Symptom Relief, all the sweats have gone to my total amazement. My doctor suggested HRT I said that I didn't really want to go on to that, do he then suggested something natural. I went straight to chemistwarehouse and bought some. I wish I'd mentioned that I was having these symptoms earlier.

Highly recommend that you try this, I noticed a difference within a few days, that's how bad it was.

2nd time lucky? No way – I tried it at the beginning of menopause which was not helping. I switched to hrt for 2 years reducing dosage to about a quarter with great relief. My partner was really worried I'd get cerncer so I went "cold turkey" for 2 months Sleep deprived and desperate I thought I'd try again. One month later I don't feel any difference, still sleepless and fatigued.

I was skeptical but desperate for help – Im 47 and due to a hysterectomy a few years back, I have gone into full blown Menopause including weight gain, hot flashing and horrible anxiety which is completely out of character for me. The nights were the worst and at best I was surviving on about 4 hours sleep due to constant night flashes. This then affected my moods and I felt like a… Read more

Someone at work suggested evening primrose oil so I headed to the chemist to buy some. Thankfully the Naturopath on staff talked me into (and she really had to!) trying Remifemin and combining it with Evening Primrose and St Johns Wort . It took 2 full weeks to work but I have to say, I am down to one flash a night and I'm sleeping really well. I feel so much better and have also now included Magnesium and Thyroid assist (Iodine & Selenium) and I'm starting to lose the weight around my middle already after only 1 week of use.

I can't believe that taking these natural supplements have helped me so much and I just know that the Remifemin is the main contributor to this.

The doctor was going to prescribe me Livial and now I feel like I can avoid HRT altogether. Please give them a go as you may just be as surprised as I have been.

Unfotunately not for me! – I started using Remifemin after it was recommended to me by a friend. I believe it relieved me from the hot flushes however I also develop a very dry and bloody nose, which is something I never suffered from before. I therefore stopped using Remifemin and after about a month, which was the time it took for my nose to heal, things are finally… Read more

back to normal. This is not a symptom I have read about anywhere but thought it may be worth mentioning.
