7 Non-Hormonal Menopause Treatments Available in 2025
Healthy’s Summary
Looking for non-hormonal menopause treatments that actually help? You’re not alone—and you’re definitely not out of options. In 2025, more women are ditching traditional hormone therapy in favor of natural, lifestyle-based, or tech-driven alternatives that feel safer, simpler, and more in tune with their lives. Whether you’re dealing with night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, or just that nagging “off” feeling, there are effective options beyond estrogen. From herbs to high-tech cooling wear, today’s top picks are rooted in science and lived experience.
Where to start, if you’re not feeling ready for hormonal treatments?
That’s the question so many women are asking in 2025—and the good news is, the answers are getting a whole lot more interesting. Non-hormonal menopause care has moved way beyond “just deal with it” territory. We’re talking smart tools, ancient remedies, and even therapy sessions that help your brain talk your body off the ledge.
Some of what’s working right now might sound a little unexpected. (CBT? Really?) Others, like herbs or supplements, have been around forever—but are now backed by a little more research or better dosing guidance.
What are the best non-hormonal menopause treatments in 2025?
1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Hot Flashes & Sleep
Surprised to see therapy on this list? Honestly, this one surprised us too—but the research backs it up. CBT has been shown to reduce the distress caused by hot flashes and help with menopause-related insomnia. It won’t stop the sweats entirely, but it can make them feel less disruptive. Think of it as brain-training for your body’s new rhythm.
2. Black Cohosh—A Longtime Herbal Ally
Black cohosh isn’t new, but it’s definitely having a moment again. This herb is often used to ease hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. Studies on its effectiveness are mixed—but many women swear by it. Just make sure to use a trusted source, and talk to your doctor if you have liver concerns.
3. Cooling Wearables & Tech
Enter: menopause tech. From cooling pajamas to temperature-regulating rings and necklaces, high-tech gear is making waves in 2025. These wearable solutions respond to body temperature shifts in real time, helping reduce nighttime overheating or sudden day sweats—without meds.
4. Gabapentin (Low Dose)
Originally developed for seizures, gabapentin is now a quiet hero for menopause. Low doses at night can reduce hot flashes and improve sleep. It’s non-hormonal and often well-tolerated—but like any med, it’s not for everyone. Ask your provider if it could be a fit.
5. Mindful Movement—Like Yoga or Tai Chi
When everything feels off-kilter, slow, intentional movement helps rebalance body and mind. Regular yoga or tai chi can ease anxiety, improve sleep, and help with joint pain or stiffness. Bonus: it gives your nervous system a much-needed reset.
6. Vitamin E & Omega-3s
Some women find relief from vaginal dryness and hot flashes with these anti-inflammatory supplements. They’re gentle, generally safe, and can also support heart health—something that becomes even more important post-menopause.
7. Pelvic Floor Therapy for Pain & Dryness
Sex changes during menopause, and not always in ways we’re ready for. Pelvic floor physical therapy can help reduce pain, improve blood flow, and make intimacy more comfortable again. No hormones needed—just informed support.
