Mood swings are one of the most talked-about — and misunderstood — symptoms of hormonal transition. For many of us, emotional shifts during midlife feel sudden, intense, and sometimes hard to explain. But they are common, real, and supported by science. And the good news? There are effective, natural ways to support your emotional wellbeing.

This guide explores natural remedies for menopause mood swings, backed by research and designed to work in harmony with your body.

Please do book time with your doctor if mood swings become an issue for you. Research shows that. HRT, if you’re able to take it, can be really helpful - and there are also other medical interventions that could be of help. Then, look to layer up: with attention to nutrition, how you’re digesting stress too… and botanical remedies which, when used at the right therapeutic dosage levels, can pack a powerful punch.

Why do mood swings happen during menopause?

Oestrogen affects serotonin, dopamine, and cortisol — all of which influence how we feel, think, and respond to stress. As oestrogen levels rise and fall during perimenopause, these neurotransmitters are impacted too. Add in sleep disruption, blood sugar instability, and midlife life stressors — and it’s no wonder our emotional equilibrium feels off.

Support your mood, holistically

Your emotions are not just in your head — they are a full-body experience. Discussion with your doctor, a focus on nutrition, the evaluation of smart supplementation - all are useful elements to add to your midlife toolkit. Consider lifestyle support too. There is a growing body of evidence around the potential of simple interventions:

  • Gentle movement, especially walking or yoga
  • Breathwork or meditation to regulate your nervous system
  • Blood sugar balance (avoiding caffeine or sugar spikes)
  • Building supportive community and connection
