Can Homeopathy for Hot Flushes During Menopause Really Help?

As a homeopath working with many women in perimenopause and menopause, hot flushes are one of the most common symptoms I hear about. For some, they’re a mild nuisance; for others, they can be frequent, intense, and disruptive to daily life, affecting sleep, work, and confidence.
So, How Do These Sudden Waves of Heat Come About?
During menopause, hormone levels in the body shift. Oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone all decrease, and it’s these changes, particularly the drop in oestrogen, that can trigger hot flushes.
When this happens, the blood vessels near the surface of the skin widen to help release heat, which is why you suddenly feel that rush of warmth.
Hot flushes affect around three-quarters of women during menopause, and for some, they can even continue beyond this stage. This is where homeopathy for hot flushes during menopause can offer gentle, tailored support, helping women find relief.
If you’d like a fuller picture of homeopathy as a natural menopause approach, here’s my main guide.
How Stress Can Influence Hot Flushes
Stress and anxiety can play a surprisingly significant role in how often and how intensely hot flushes occur.
When we’re under stress, our adrenal glands release cortisol, the body’s “stress hormone.” While cortisol helps us respond to immediate challenges, elevated levels over time can interfere with the production of other important hormones, including oestrogen and progesterone.
Lower levels of these hormones can make the body more prone to sudden changes in temperature regulation, which may make hot flushes feel stronger or more frequent.
In other words, the more stressed we are, the more noticeable and disruptive these flashes of heat can become.
This is one reason why many women find that combining homeopathy for hot flushes during menopause with simple stress-reducing practices, like gentle movement, or breathing exercises, can make a real difference in easing symptoms and improving overall comfort.

Homeopathic Treatment for Hot Flushes
Research has shown that homeopathic treatment for hot flushes during menopause can be highly effective. In this study, around 90% of women reported either a reduction or complete disappearance of their symptoms, with some noticing changes within just a month of starting treatment.
In my practice, I take a personalised approach. Alongside the remedy most suited to your hormonal balance, I often incorporate homeopathic liver support and adrenal support remedies. These help the body manage stress and hormone fluctuations, which can make hot flushes less frequent and more manageable.
Many women who come to see me are looking for a natural, gentle way to navigate the changes of menopause, rather than relying on conventional treatments.

What Happens in a Homeopathic Initial Consultation with Me?
Homeopathy is always tailored to the individual, taking into account both emotional and physical symptoms.
In our initial consultation, I’ll ask you detailed questions about your menopausal experience, including:
How often do you have hot flushes?
How severe are they on a scale of 1–10?
How long do the hot flushes last, and where do they start?
Are there particular times or triggers that make them worse?
Do you experience night sweats, and if so, how often and how severe are they?
Are you noticing other menopausal symptoms, such as joint aches, fatigue, or brain fog?
How are your stress levels on a scale of 1–10?
How are you feeling emotionally?
These questions help me understand your unique pattern of symptoms so that the remedies prescribed are personalised to you.
In follow-up appointments, we review any changes, reassess how you’re feeling, and make adjustments to ensure your treatment continues to support you effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions about Menopausal Homeopathic Treatment
How long does it take to improve hot flushes and other menopausal symptoms?
This varies depending on the severity of your symptoms, stress levels, lifestyle, and medical history. Many women notice improvements within a few weeks, though gradual progress is more usual. Homeopathy works with your body to restore balance gently over time.

The first consultation is a detailed assessment of your health history and menopausal symptoms. Follow-up appointments usually occur every 4–6 weeks, allowing us to monitor your progress and adjust remedies as needed.
I also offer a Homeopathy for Menopausal Treatment Plan, consisting of four appointments in total, with check-in's between appointments, so that you feel supported through menopause.
