For women, Menopause is one of the biggest phases of life, adapting to the declining of ovaries in the uterus that has the power to entirely change your body mechanism. Like puberty, menopause is a natural phenomenon which also brings along several side effects such as depression, acne and more. But yes, it can all be controlled by the magical therapy of homeopathy.

Once a woman reaches the mid age of 40 or 50, the ovaries produce less oestrogen which results to irregular periods and slowly, an absolute Stop to Menstruation. Or you may simply say, it is the winding down of a woman’s natural ability to conceive and bear a child. In most women, Menopause strikes at an age of 50, but in a few it may also get initiated at 40.

During Menopause, women undergo through several symptoms including:

• Profuse sweating

• Mood swings

• Vaso-dilatory heat flushes (most common in almost 75% women)

• Sleep pattern disturbance

• Vaginal dryness and painful intercourse

• Dry skin, hair loss

• Urinary tract infection

• Lethargy

These symptoms slowly change into severe health conditions, including:

• Osteoporosis (bone thinning)

• Heart diseases

• High cholesterol

The only possible treatment to restrict the menopause symptoms is by controlling the estrogen production in the body, which tends to decrease with our ageing. And, this can be achieved with the aid of prescription medicines or also termed as the Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

However, there is a small glitch in consuming these hormonal medications, particularly due to their undesired side-effects. The efficiency of these medications in the long term use is a matter of great concern, especially die to the possible side-effects that may include:

• Bloating

• Weight gain

• Depression

• Vaginal spotting for 3 to 6 months due to the intake of estrogen.

• Undiagnosed Vaginal bleeding

• Gall bladder disease

• Acute liver disease

How Homeopathy can help?

Homeopathy medications are designed to work on all the aspects, including:

• Diet

• Shock

• Stress

• Synthetic Progesterone and estrogen hormones

Homeopathic medications when consumed with an appropriate diet, right nutritions and herbs can magically help rebalance the estrogen levels in the body (female hormone) which otherwise is disturbed by HRT. This is one reason why homeopathic medications are considered as the safest treatment for menopause. They stimulate natural hormonal balance without the consumption of harmful medications.

Most commonly prescribed homeopathic drugs

Graphites, Kali Carb, Ignatia, Cimicifuga, Lach and Pulstailla are some of the very basic homeopathic medicines that are prescribed by doctors to treat the symptoms of menopause and bring back the hormonal balance in the body. However, the percentage of the medicines depends upon the condition of the patient and the treatment procedure followed by the doctor.
