Natural Menopause Relief with Homeopathy: A Real Client Experience

Posted on by under Women's Health & Hormones

Menopause can feel like an uphill battle. When C.A. came to see me, she was struggling with unbearable hot sweats, dizziness, sleepless nights and the frustration of trying to balance work and life while feeling completely drained.

She had undergone surgery for fibroids in 2018 and had hoped for relief, but the symptoms of menopause quickly took over. Her doctor prescribed antidepressants, but they only offered minimal improvement. With a family history of breast cancer, she was hesitant to try HRT and felt stuck without options until a friend suggested homeopathy and introduced her to me.

A Personalised Approach to Healing

From our very first consultation, I wanted to ensure that C.A. felt heard. We spent time discussing her experience in depth, addressing not just the symptoms but the emotional and physical toll they were taking on her. I prescribed a homeopathic treatment plan tailored to her needs, and C.A. committed to following it closely, keeping track of her symptoms and any changes she noticed.

From Exhaustion to Empowerment

The results were remarkable. Over time, C.A.’s sleep improved, her hot sweats eased and she found herself able to go about her daily life without feeling constantly overheated. She could shop comfortably, focus at work without needing to cool off, and even her friends noticed how much brighter and more energetic she had become.

Now, C.A. is passionate about sharing her experience, encouraging others to explore homeopathy.
“Just go and have a go, try it. It certainly worked for me, and I’m continuing to do so.”

How the Moon Affects Your Hormones

Posted on by under Women's Health & Hormones

Lunatic (crazy) comes from the Latin ‘lunaticus ‘or ‘moonstruck’.  Folklore has us all affected by the moon’s phases, but more recent scientific research has noted that more outdoor criminal activity takes place at the full moon. Moreover, there is a clear relationship between the change in the moon’s gravitational pull and bi-polar patients’ manic-depressive cycles.

Women’s menstrual cycles can also be influenced by the moon’s cycle, and many cultures have associated them with fertility.

In my practice, I am regularly told that ‘my period always starts on the full moon’, a characteristic symptom which I include to narrow down the remedy I shall eventually prescribe.

In other cases, the advent of the full moon affects some so negatively that they dread the monthly depression, paranoia or insomnia.

Homeopathic treatment has greatly helped those suffering from symptoms before or during the full moon.

Homeopathic treatment is holistic and individualised and as such remedies will differ according to a person’s totality of symptoms.

A Good Night Sleep with Homeopathy

Posted on by under Women's Health & Hormones

You’ve tried all the usual tips for sleeping soundly, yet sleep still eludes you, or you wake up un-refreshed or, even more frustrating, you are wide awake much too early and cannot get back to sleep.
Try a homeopathic remedy: Homeopathy is a form of holistic medicine that works on the principle of treating ‘like with like’ and is administered in minute doses. It is gentle, non-addictive, side effect free and can be used safely and effectively at any life stage.

Each human being is unique and homeopathic remedies are prescribed according to each individual’s symptoms.
Thus when treating chronic insomnia, it is recommended to treat the whole person, rather than just the specific symptom of sleeplessness. These are the most commonly used remedies and their indications:
 Arsenicum album (Ars): sleeplessness from worry and anxiety (especially about one’s health) with a fear of dying. Wakefulness after midnight, especially 1-2 A.M. Restless, gets out of bed. Can only sleep with head raised. Hard to fall asleep after waking.
Coffea cruda (Coff): Coffee is well known for producing sleeplessness but because of homeopathy’s ‘like treats like’ effect, it will relieve insomnia when given in crude, or especially homeopathic form. The types of symptoms it relieves are those produced by coffee. Wide eyed at 3 A.M. with overactive mind, excessive joy, feeling excited. Worse for suprises; strong emotions; narcotics.
Ignatia Amara (Ign): Sleeplessness from a recent disappointment or grief.  Waking easily from sleep. Waking from the jerking of a limb. Itching of arms with yawning. Child wakes from sleep with screaming and trembling after being reprimanded before bedtime. Worse for: Coffee.
Kali Phos (Kali p.): Sleepless after worry, excitement or from nervous causes. Constant dreaming of fire, robbers, ghosts, falling. Twitching of muscles on falling asleep. Awakens with a fright.
Nux Vomica (Nux-v): insomnia from worries about business, too much stress. Irritability from loss of sleep. Falling asleep before normal bedtime and then waking at 3–4am. Waking at 3-4am with alert and active mind and then falling asleep as daylight approaches only to then wake with difficulty, feeling tired, weak, and not wanting to get up. Worse for: stimulants and narcotics
Passiflora Incarnata (Pass): A very useful remedy for sleeplessness, but it should be given in mother tincture, i.e. 10 to 30 drops a dose. Restlessness, exhaustion, and sleeplessness.
Sulphur (Sulph): Waking between 2 – 5am and unable to go back to sleep. Difficulty in falling asleep from itchiness of skin or perspiration. Drowsy by day and sleepless at night. Worse for: becoming hot; atmospheric changes.
Method:  About 1 hour before going to bed, take 1 pill of the remedy in a 30c potency (strength) that most closely resembles your individual symptoms by letting it dissolve under the tongue. Homeopathic remedies are highly sensitive so avoid handling the pills and store them in a cool place and away from strong smelling substances.
If you are experiencing other (un)related symptoms and the remedy matching your particular symptoms does not alleviate your sleep problem, please consult a professional homeopath who will take your case history and treat you holistically.
