Menopause & Perimenopause
Hot Flushes; Sleeplessness; Irregular Periods; Headaches; Depression - the list goes on…..
What a fun time we have ahead or are currently experiencing at the moment!
Are you finding all of a sudden you’re experiencing “out-of-the-ordinary” symptoms as you approach the menopausal stage? Or maybe you’ve been experiencing them for some time and just not sure what to do about it? Then maybe Homoeopathy is your go-to???
Have you ever asked yourself why some menopausal-stage women experience quite severe hot flushes and some maybe not at all? Or maybe there’s a friend of yours that has noticed they’re getting regular headaches that never used to appear before, while others don’t have the headaches but they’re finding their mood is all over the place?
It’s because, as you already know, we’re all individual and therefore experience each stage of life differently dependant on our current lifestyle, our personal & medical history. These “individual” symptoms are what makes Homoeopathy so effective in helping women that are experiencing the menopausal symptoms - no matter what stage in the process they’re up to.
As a Homoeopath, every patient is seen as an individual, so the remedy that is prescribed is ALWAYS based on, what we refer to as “The Symptom Picture”. What do I mean by that? Well….a symptom picture is made up of all YOUR very own Mental, Emotional & Physical symptoms that you are experiencing at that given time. So basically, not a one remedy fits all scenario for all patients - no matter what condition they are experiencing. Patients will often experience any one condition differently and this is where Homoeopathy comes into its own and “tailor-makes” the response to help your body find re-balance.
Sepia & Lachesis, as seen in the pic above, are both fantastic “Female” remedies that are often well indicated at this stage. Let’s have a look at some more of the commonly prescribed remedies as well:
