One of the most common questions I hear from women is:

“Is there a natural way to reduce hot flushes and night sweats?”

The answer is yes — and science backs it up.

Research shows that women who lose even a small amount of weight can reduce hot flushes and night sweats by up to 40%. That’s a powerful, natural solution — no medication required.

Why does weight loss help hot flushes?

Carrying extra weight makes it harder for your body to regulate temperature. During menopause, hormonal changes amplify this effect, leading to more frequent and intense hot sweats. By improving diet, staying active, and supporting emotional wellbeing, you give your body the balance it needs.

The natural approach that works

• A Mediterranean-style diet rich in whole grains, fruit, vegetables, and lean proteins

• Regular physical activity, such as walking, swimming, or strength training

• Prioritising good sleep and stress management

These steps don’t just cool hot flushes — they also improve bone health, heart health, and overall energy.

The takeaway

If you’re looking for a natural remedy for hot flushes, focusing on sustainable weight management may be one of the most effective tools available. Even small, steady changes can make a meaningful difference.
