Homeopathy & Hormonal Changes During Perimenopause

During this period, hormonal fluctuations can create a rollercoaster effect that affects mood, energy, and physical well-being. Many women have found that homeopathy can help alleviate the symptoms related to the changes in hormone levels such as hot flashes, irritability, fatigue, mood swings, headaches, and so on.

When to Consider Homeopathy for Menopause & Perimenopause

Supporting women’s health includes supporting them through different stages in their lives. One of the challenging aspects of this life transition is that the symptoms that accompany it can vary from woman to woman. The intensity of these symptoms and the impact that they have on a woman’s life can also vary from woman to woman. Because perimenopause and menopause is a personal experience that every woman goes through, finding the best treatment for menopause and perimenopause symptoms can be more successful when it includes personalized care.. 

A common issue that many women experience is feeling dismissed and alone. Many women have reported not feeling properly supported in the medical field. Because the symptoms vary and are not specific, it is common that the impact of this transition on a woman is not considered and often forgotten. However, its impact is very real. And it is possible and important for women to have access to support so that they can go through this life transition with greater ease and grace. 

For many women Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a very helpful option. However, for others, the side effects of HRT are quite intolerable. And still for others, their health history requires that they don’t take HRT. Also, many women prefer an alternative natural approach. In such instances, homeopathy can be a great alternative as a standalone holistic treatment, or as a complimentary to your overall treatment plan. When searching for the best homeopath for menopause and perimenopause, the experience of the physician in providing homeopathy for menopause and perimenopause is an important factor.

What is Premature Menopause?

Premature menopause refers to entering menopause before the age of 40. It means the ovaries have stopped functioning properly and are not producing normal levels of estrogen and progesterone, leading to the end of menstruation and fertility much earlier than is common. Certain medical disorders or procedures may lead to early menopause such as Autoimmune Diseases, Genetic Disorders, Cancer Treatments, Certain Surgeries, Certain Infections, and Epilepsy to name a few. Primary ovarian insufficiency is the term used to describe early menopause that happens without a medical or surgical reason. If you have concerns about possible early menopause, consult with your gynecologist. Being proactive about your health in this matter is important because early menopause may increase the risk of other health issues such as osteoporosis, heart disease, cognitive decline and mood disorders, to name a few. While the diagnosis and treatment plan should be in collaboration with a medical doctor, a homeopathic physician can offer a helpful complementary role in treatment to support alleviating symptoms related to this transition.

Can Perimenopause be Prevented or Delayed

Perimenopause cannot be prevented. But lifestyle changes and holistic support can help delay some of the symptoms, lessen their severity, and acquire new strengths and capacities to better engage in the next phase of life.

It is very important to start eating better and increase engagement in physical activities. Avoid the temptation to just ‘give up’ and instead ‘get up!’. Adopting healthy life practices is also important. A lot of women experience a renewed sense of self if they are able to manage this transition with optimism and dedication.
