EPA Omega 3
Effects of ethyl-eicosapentaenoic acid omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on hot flashes and quality of life among middle-aged women

improved the HF score relative to placebo. These results need to be confirmed
by a clinical trial specifically designed to evaluate HFs in more symptomatic
women.”
Black Cohosh – side effects aren’t good
Pilot Evaluation of Black Cohosh for the Treatment of Hot Flashes in Women
The reduction in mean daily hot flash frequency was 50% (95% CI, 34%–65%), while weekly hot flash scores were reduced 56% (95% CI, 40%–71%) at completion of the study. Overall, patients reported less trouble with sleeping, less fatigue, and less abnormal sweating. No patients stopped therapy because of adverse effects. Conclusions. Black cohosh appeared to reduce hot flashes and had a low toxicity. The efficacy found in this trial seems to be more than would be expected by a placebo effect (20%–30% hot flash reduction in previous trials).

Licorice Root
Effects of Licorice on Relief and
Recurrence of Menopausal Hot Flashes
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3832176/
“Findings showed that licorice root is effective in reducing the frequency and severity of hot flash. Comparing the mean frequencies of hot flash in the weeks before the therapy, 8 weeks of therapy and 4 weeks of follow-up through ANOVA with repeated measurements, there was found a significant difference in the licorice group and no difference in the placebo group. In other words, licorice could decrease daily hot flash frequencies during 8 weeks while no decrease was found at the same period in the other group. In addition, the significant difference in the licorice group was seen from the 1st week, increased significantly in time and continued until the 2nd week after the therapy as the recurrence took place from this stage.”
