Hi Lady Deb,
Thank you for your question, and I would like to conduct some more research before answering your question.
Most of the information that is published regards treating the symptoms of night sweats and hot flashes due to menopause. Night sweats are also a side effect of cancer treatments (such as what you are experiencing).
There has been research regarding supplements for women to take to remedy night sweats, but the majority are related to menopause, and not night sweats as an effect of cancer treatment. Either way, these supplements have not been proven to work, and some have even been shown to be harmful.
If you do receive any recommendations for OTC or herbal supplements, even if they are touted as "100% natural", "herbal" or "healthy", please talk with your doctor and/or pharmacist before adding them to your current regimen, as there is a possibility of adverse drug interactions.
Let us do some research into possible solutions, and we will be in touch soon!
In the meantime, have you visited EmpowHER's Night Sweats site? There are women discussing their symptoms, and possible treatments for night sweats (again, most are related to menopause), as well as recent medical news regarding night sweats. You can view this page by clicking: EmpowHER: Night Sweats.
