Homeopathy can be very effective in the treatment of symptoms of
\nmenopause and perimenopause. Ruth Appleby is the author of Menopause,
\nThe Common Sense Approach. She is a registered homeopath of 24 years'
\nexperience with a busy practice in Blackrock, Co Dublin. This extract from her
\nbook outlines the most common homeopathic remedies and their use in
\ntreating symptoms of the menopause.
\nHomeopathy is a truly holistic medicine. If a woman consults a homeopath
\nwith menopausal problems \u2013 say hot flushes only \u2013 the homeopath will still
\nlook at the person as a whole, and not just prescribe a remedy for the hot
\nflushes. This is called a constitutional remedy.
\nIf we prescribe in this way, the overall imbalance will be treated, the woman\u2019s
\nhot flushes will go and her overall health will be improved. Sometimes, we
\ncome across women who have no other problems in their life, who just
\npresent with some specific menopausal symptoms; in these cases,
\nprescribing on those symptoms alone will solve the problem.
\nIt is preferable to be treated by an experienced homeopath, but there are
\nsome remedies that you could try yourself. I have given details below of some
\nof the more common homeopathic remedies prescribed during menopause.
\nYou may have some, not necessarily all, the symptoms that I outline below. I
\nhave suggested the 30c potency as a good potency to use. If you follow the
\ndirections below for recommended dosages and repetitions, you will do
\nyourself no harm.
\nAre you ready to hear about some remedies that can help?\u00a0Here\u2019s a
\nsnippet from 8 good ones. Can you see yourself in any of these?
\n1. Calcarea Carbonica<\/strong>: The woman going through menopause needing this
\nremedy will likely have a difficult time assimilating calcium in the body. Cold,
\ndamp and sweaty. Feet and hands may be cold and clammy. They are
\nsusceptible to night sweats, and the full moon can keep them awake too.
\nUterine polyps or cysts are possible and periods are heavy and last a long<\/p>\n

time. This woman easily puts on weight and feels worse from exertion and
\nthe pressure of clothes. Having sex can be exhausting to them too.
\n2. Pulsatilla<\/strong>: The woman needing this remedy will notice that her symptoms
\nare changeable. Things shift and change and move around in her body. She
\nis often pretty emotional. Weeping comes easily. Pulsatilla is a wind flower,
\nand if you think about yourself in this way, you notice a sensitivity. Things
\nchange as the \u201cwind blows\u201d, so to speak. Women can be either very sweet,
\nor super irritable. Periods are scanty, late and may be painful. There may be
\nclots. Being suppressed is not helpful and can cause problems, so not having
\nsex is not good for these women.
\n3. Sepia<\/strong>: The word for Sepia is stagnation. Everything is not moving, and it\u2019s
\nnot good. So they need to move to feel good. Exercise is super important for
\nwomen needing this remedy. Irritability towards children and partners are
\ncommon due mostly to an over concern, or overwork. Pelvically there can be
\na weakness, a dragging down or bearing down sensation. Sex can be painful
\nand may be due to vaginal dryness. Sometimes there is bleeding after sex.
\nSometimes there is great desire for sexual contact, but mostly there is an
\naversion to it.
\n4. Lachesis:<\/strong> This remedy is a big one for menopausal women. Great for hot
\nflashes, and left sided symptoms. Left ovarian issues. A woman who needs
\nthis remedy feels better bleeding. So emotionally, and physically things feel
\nworse just prior to her period beginning. Once she starts to bleed things feel
\nmuch better. During menopause if she\u2019s not bleeding freely there is more
\npain. She is highly sexual, and likes to move.
\n5. Cimicifuga:<\/strong> Here is another remedy for sensitive woman with a tendency to
\nplump up. They love conversing about a variety of different subjects, and
\nhave a tendency to wander, feeling better by doing that. A dark cloud of
\ndepression may envelop them. There is actually more pain with more flow
\nduring menses. Their periods during perimenopause can be heavy, dark and
\nclotted. But while the pain may be worse, they actually feel better
\nemotionally.<\/p>\n

6. Sulphur:<\/strong> Hot and sweaty. Hot head, hot feet. Lot\u2019s of night sweats.
\nBurning, itching vulva or vagina and both sitting and sex can be painful. Her
\nuterus may feel like it\u2019s bearing down on her, and that\u2019s worse by standing.
\nCycles get further and further apart, there is little blood, but it may be foul
\nsmelling, burning causing vaginal soreness.
\n7. Aurum muriaticum: Are you having heavy periods due to fibroids? This
\nmight be your remedy. (of course, so could Sepia, Calcarea, or Lachesis, so
\nlook at other symptoms you are having too.) \u00a0There is a perfectionism
\nevident in women needing this remedy. They perform well. During
\nmenopause they may notice heart palpitations, their hair falling out, and
\nwhile their head may feel hot, their hands and feet may be cold.
\n8. Murex:<\/strong> This remedy is similar to Sepia for women in menopause, but while
\nSepia has little sexual desire, Murex has a high sex drive. In Sepia, the
\nperiod is generally light, and Murex has a heavier period. Both may have the
\nsensation of a bearing down uterus or prolapse. There may be more anxiety
\nand depression in menopause with forgetfulness being a more prominent
\nfeature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
