Can homeopathy help with menopause
It is estimated that 1.2 billion women worldwide will be menopausal by the year 2030. (Source: Research Gate)
Menopause is a natural part of aging in women. This is preceded by perimenopause. This is the phase where your body gradually starts to produce less estrogen and progesterone. These natural hormonal changes cause the body to gradually cease ovulation and in turn menstruation. The rate at which this happens is unique to each woman. And changes can occur at different times and for different lengths of time. Some women might experience perimenopause for a year or two and others for as many as 10 or 12. (Source NCBI)
The first sign that you are beginning perimenopause is usually irregular periods. You may miss one, have them more frequently or have periods of regular menses followed by irregularity. During the final one or two years of perimenopause, estrogen levels drop at a faster rate. And this usually brings about menopause. Usually, this occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 years, when a woman’s estrogen levels begin to decline. It is not uncommon for women to begin menopause before the age of 40. (Source: NCBI)

Why do you feel so different?
Well, aside from the huge part these hormones play in the reproductive system, they also play a huge part in your feelings of general wellbeing. As well as many other things, estrogen stimulates serotonin and beta-endorphins which are associated with positive mood states. It makes sense that as the hormone levels fluctuate, many women feel the effect strongly, and can feel depressed, anxious, and experience mood swings.
Menopause treatment
Homeopathy is a safe, complete system of medicine that can be very effective in the treatment of hormonal symptoms. It works by promoting the body’s own healing capacity. It sees symptoms as interconnected, working towards improving the overall health of the patient.
A study was conducted to find out the effectiveness of homeopathy in treating hot flashes in menopausal women. This included 438 patients with an average age of 55. Homeopathic medicines were prescribed to all patients. This study revealed a significant reduction in the frequency of hot flashes by day and night and a significant reduction in the daily discomfort they caused. 90% of the women reported disappearance or lessening of their menopause symptoms. These changes mostly took place within 15 days of starting homeopathic treatment. (Source: NIH)
