Abstract
Hot flashes and night sweats—collectively
referred to as vasomotor symptoms (VMS) affect a large proportion of women
during the menopausal transition and post-menopause, often degrading quality of
life, sleep, mood, and productivity. While hormone therapy remains the most
effective treatment, many women either cannot or prefer not to use hormonal
options. This article reviews evidence-based non-pharmacological strategies for
managing hot flashes and night sweats, including lifestyle and behavioural modifications,
mind-body interventions, dietary and botanical approaches, and
environmental/behavioural cooling techniques. Strengths, limitations, and
practical implementation tips are provided. Though the evidence base for
non-drug approaches is still evolving, a multimodal strategy tailored to the
individual can meaningfully reduce VMS burden and improve well-being.
