Natural Alternatives to taking Tamoxin?

I am 33 and was diagnosed late last year with Stage IIA cancer. After my surgery, chemo and radiation, I have just started using Tamoxifen and Zoladex (a jab once every 3 months). I am having hot flushes more than 5 times a day - so much so that I felt like giving up on Tamoxifen totally as it seems less bearable than the nausea and tiredness experienced during chemo & radiation. Am also considering traditional chinese medicine (TCM) as this is rather prevalent where I come from. Anyone tried TCM before?

Anything I can do to alleviate the situation with the hot flushes?
