Many women are looking for natural treatments to alleviate the symptoms associated with menopause, menstruation, infertility, urinary incontinence, as well as pregnancy and the postpartum period. Homeopathy, which is a natural treatment, can be very effective in treating these symptoms.
When a woman is particularly troubled by symptoms such as hot flashes, dryness or mood swings, it is a sign that the body is trying to find a balance as the hormone levels shift. Some women experience these symptoms to a very small degree while others are almost debilitated by them. It is necessary to treat the imbalance within the body to alleviate the symptoms from within. This is what the homeopathic remedy does…it acts directly on the vital energy of the body to bring about balance.
Although menopause, pregnancy and menstruation are not illnesses, the symptoms associated with them are often classified as a disease and treated as such in conventional medicine. In Homeopathy, symptoms such as:
- Excessive nausea in pregnancy
- Excessive pain and bleeding with menstruation
- Hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia in menopause
- Irritability before menstruation
- Post partum depression
are not considered the disease… they are the body’s attempt to restore health on its own. When the symptoms persist and become bothersome, it is a sign that the body’s own healing mechanism is not working optimally and needs help. This is when you should seek out homeopathic treatment.
