Menopause is not a disease, but a natural transition to a new stage in a woman’s life. Some go through this period of serious changes without much difficulty, but others experience a series of unpleasant symptoms: hot flashes accompanied by redness and sweating, sleep problems, sharp weight gain, increased nervousness and sudden mood swings, problems with concentration, decreased sexual desire etc. These complaints can last for years and negatively affect a woman’s self-esteem and quality of life. Homeopathy as part of holistic health care offers some solutions to relieve symptoms. Here are some of the most commonly used homeopathic remedies during menopause. Sepia: This remedy is suitable when hot flashes make a woman feel very weak. They can also cause tremors, palpitations, nausea, exhaustion. Emotionally, the woman feels depressed, nervous, exhausted, indifferent to the happy moments in life and even to her loved ones and family. She lacks sexual desire and interest in life in general. Her condition improves when she increases her physical activity – sports, dancing, exercise, etc. Lycopodium: Recommended for hot flashes that spread upwards to the face, accompanied by sticky sweat and redness. Symptoms worsen with increased anxiety, in a crowded place or in a stuffy room. Sleep disturbances are observed, as well as indigestion with bloating, increased gas formation. Emotionally, the woman is irritable, depressed, anxious, stressed. Pulsatilla: A suitable homeopathic remedy when symptoms change constantly. For example, one heat wave may be mild and barely perceptible, and the next extremely intense. Women who need Pulsatilla feel better if they are out in the open and in the fresh air. They can be over-emotional and tearful during menopause. Thuja: A suitable remedy when there is weight gain in the abdominal area, fluid retention, cellulite. Emotionally, the woman is anxious, very worried about her health. And more: a suitable remedy when the woman has undergone long-term treatment with conventional medications, after years of taking contraceptives, etc. Important: The application and individual dosage of homeopathic medicines is recommended to be determined by a homeopathic doctor.
