The menopause is one of the main reasons that women visit a homeopath. A survey by the Bristol homeopathic hospital reported that the menopause was one of the most successful conditions treated by homeopathy.
The menopause is not an illness but another stage in life that women have no choice in but to pass through. “Passage to Power” by Leslie Kenton is an uplifting book which looks at the menopause as a positive phase whilst nowadays many women seem to dread approaching menopause.
There are things that can help menopausal symptoms for example healthy eating and regular exercise however it is worth considering homeopathy as a serious alternative before taking HRT which, in common with the Pill may cause long term health problems.
Homeopathic remedies helping the menopause
There are many homeopathic remedies which have been tried and tested to help with the menopause and which have no side effects.
Homeopathic remedies have been successfully used by women all over the world to treat menopausal symptoms. The reason homeopathy is successful is that even with common menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes tiredness irritability etc homeopaths look at each individual person.
One reason cited for taking HRT is the prevention of osteoporosis but prevention probably begins thirty or forty years before the first fracture and may be linked to early diet and overall bodyweight. In fact to prevent osteoporosis HRT needs to be taken continuously for the rest of a patient’s life.
An adequate amount of calcium in the blood does appear to be essential in maintaining strong healthy bones but taking in calcium does not necessarily produce calcium in the body. It would appear the maybe lifestyle has a lot to contribute to osteoporosis as the highest rates of this disease are to be found in Europe and North America which also have the highest consumption of dairy produce in the world.
It is difficult to self prescribe a homeopathic treatment for menopausal symptoms because despite the similarity of symptoms each individual is different. However there is homeopathic one remedy which is always worth trying for the menopause is “Sepia” something which is useful for many female ailments.
