The menopause and the peri-menopause create a very significant transition in a woman’s life, and like any transition it can present some challenges, challenges which can be felt not only physically but also mentally and emotionally.
The word “menopause” is no longer taboo, thank goodness, and there is no reason why it needs to be handled alone. There are numerous homeopathic and natural ways of helping the body and the mind through this change. There is a place for HRT and I know that it suits a lot of women, but if you want to avoid HRT’s side effects and the animal cruelty involved in its production, you have nothing to lose by first exploring the natural approach.
A great place to begin is to improve your liver health. The liver is responsible for getting rid of the excess oestrogen that the body is trying to remove in mid-life. If the liver is under functioning and cannot detox the body fully, the result can be weight-gain, bloating and headaches as well as insomnia and flushes. Therefore, just by cleaning up your diet, drinking plenty of water and trying to reduce stress, all of which are a huge blessing to your liver, you’ll feel better.
In addition to this, the homeopathic remedies Sepia, Lachesis and Aristolochia Clematis, to name but a few are extremely helpful in addressing the wide array of menopausal symptoms you might be facing, from flushes to depression, from hair loss to anxiety, from burning tongue to simple exhaustion. With homeopathy, your individual and unique set of symptoms will indicate what remedies will suit you best.
Putting it all together, the menopause is a natural process that can be experienced naturally. Feel free to get in touch for more information.
