Homeopathy is all about tailoring the treatment to you, taking into account not just the physical symptoms but also how you're feeling emotionally.
Did you know that homeopathy has a good track record in dealing with menopausal symptoms?
A study on the effectiveness of homeopathy shows the success of homeopathic treatments for perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms. The study found that homeopathy was found to be useful beyond placebo in relieving menopausal symptoms. These symptoms included hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, mood swings, palpitation, depression, insomnia.

My approach to treating menopausal symptoms
In my work with women going through menopause, I also focus on caring for the liver and adrenal glands, which are important for hormone balancing.
As the ovaries slow down, the adrenals help supply small amounts of hormones, and the liver clears away those that are no longer needed.
By nourishing your body with the right foods, stress-reducing habits, and liver and adrenal support homeopathic remedies, symptoms such as hot flashes, fatigue, and mood changes, can start to ease.
My homeopathic consultation process
The first consultation is an assessment where we go through your symptoms in a lot of detail. I like to ask a lot of questions about the menopausal symptoms that you are experiencing.
We then have follow-up appointments every 4-6 weeks. These follow-on treatments are important to ensure gradual progress. In the follow-up appointments, we discuss any changes and how you are feeling.
I want women to feel empowered with options. This approach offers a natural path through menopause.
