Question
My Robert has night sweats so bad that the sheets need to be changed at night.  Could you give some reasons and possible medical herb compounds that might help this condition.  He is 65 years old.

Answer
Hi Martha,
I do not know of a herb to solve this problem.
It may be related to hormones. There has been a lot lately about andropause- a male version of menopause.
Have robert see his doctor to discuss this problem.
Thank you for using Allexperts
Sincerely,
