Can yoga and meditation reduce hot flushes?

Yoga and meditation may help some women cope with hot flushes by reducing stress and improving overall wellbeing, though direct effects on symptoms are modest.

Clinical Context

Yoga and meditation are safe, accessible interventions that can complement medical treatment. They may help with sleep, anxiety, and mood during menopause.

Evidence-Based Approaches

NICE encourages holistic and lifestyle approaches alongside medication when needed. Women should consider yoga and meditation as part of a broad management plan. See NICE menopause guidance.
