Homeopathy and Women: Balancing Periods, Fertility, Menopause

Homeopathy treats women’s health concerns by considering the whole person and the menstruation, fertility and menopause phases. It is based on the idea that well-diluted substances encourage the body to heal itself. The goal of this approach is to understand the body, mind and feelings of each patient, helping to bring balance.

Menstrual Problems

Homeopathy may help relieve various problems to menstruation. In cases of dysmenorrhea, the homeopathic medicine Pulsatilla can be used to relieve cramps and emotional effects and Belladonna may be chosen for strong and sudden pain. If a woman suffers from PMS, homeopathic remedies are usually selected for irritability with Sepia, mood swings using Natrum muriaticum and fatigue with Sepia. For both missing periods and periods that are not regular, Pulsatilla and Calcarea carbonica are common remedies used in homeopathy.

Fertility

There is evidence that homeopathy could help with problems associated with fertility. Balancing hormones and promoting general health may aid a woman’s chances of becoming pregnant. For patients with PCOS, a main reason for infertility, homeopathy tries to balance the menstrual cycle, reduce the number of cysts and manage the symptoms of acne and hair growth. Most remedies in this type make use of Pulsatilla, Sepia and Lycopodium. If stress and anxiety are the reason for infertility, using Ignatia or Gelsemium can be helpful.
Menopause

A major symptom of menopause, the end of menstruation, is hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and fatigue among other problems. It is believed that homeopathy works gently on the symptoms in question. For example, Lachesis is often used for both extreme heat flashes, while Sepia may be appropriate for irritation and fatigue. Ignatia can also help with emotional lability and grief from this particular life stage. Homeopathic treatment during the menopause focuses on physical discomfort, emotional wellness and mental health of the woman to allow her greater transition into this life stage.
