Natural menopause remedies

I am burning up from hot flashes during the night. I know that there are prescription medications for menopause, but I'd like to try a natural remedy before I head to my doctor. The herbs I've heard work for menopause are dong quai, red clover and black cohosh. Has anyone used these herbs? I'm hesitant to just go to my health food store and drop a bunch of money on stuff that might not work. I don't take any other medications, so I'm not worried about drug interactions. Thanks.
