Treating Menopause Symptoms with Homeopathy

Homeopathy medicines that treat menopausal symptoms are considered over-the-counter products which are natural and free of side effects. Specific medicines are indicated for hot flashes, irritable, and bearing down sensations. 

How does homeopathy help in Menopause?

A homeopath looks at the patient profile and decides on treatment that not only focuses on relieving signs and symptoms but also preventing or managing chronic conditions that may occur with aging. 

1. Declining estrogen and progesterone levels, as ovaries start underperforming, is the prime reason for hot flushes. Lachesis a fish derivative, steadies the levels of hormones naturally. Also Sepia is an excellent remedy to establish the normal flow in women 
2. Menopause affects vulval and vaginal tissue integrity which becomes thinner, more fragile, and sensitive causing a bearing down sensation. Uterine prolapse (weak pelvic floor muscles and ligaments) causes the uterus to slip down affecting women after menopause who've had one or more vaginal deliveries. Sepia works as a uterine tonic and helps maintain uterus health
3. At menopause, many women experience weight gain, particularly around the abdomen due to declining estrogen levels. On average, women gain 5-8% of their baseline body weight during this time. Graphites is useful for weight gain in menopause due to hormonal imbalances.
4. Menopausal transition causes loss of ovarian follicular function and results in shrinkage. Oophorinum is known for its clinical benefit in ovarian rejuvenation
