Balancing Menopausal Mood Swings with Homeopathy

Menopause is a natural stage in a woman’s life. But that doesn’t mean it’s always easy.

Many of the women I work with describe it as feeling like a stranger in their own body. One minute they’re fine, and the next, everything feels too much. The tears come easily. So does the frustration.

“I just don’t feel like myself anymore,” is something I hear often.

Mood swings during menopause are common, but they’re not something you have to just put up with. Many women find that exploring homeopathy for mood swings during menopause can be the first step towards feeling calmer and more balanced.

You can read more about homeopathy for menopause in my complete natural support guide.

Why Mood Swings Happen

A big part of it comes down to hormones. As your oestrogen and progesterone levels naturally drop, they can affect the brain chemicals that regulate mood, like serotonin. This can lead to emotional highs and lows that feel completely out of nowhere.

• Lack of sleep – hot flushes and night sweats can keep you up awake, leaving you tired and irritable

• Life pressures – teenagers, older parents, work, relationships, can impact mood

• Physical symptoms – joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, weight changes

• The emotional shift – the realisation of entering a new phase of life can trigger emotional responses

Common Signs of Menopausal Mood Swings

Irritability: Frequent annoyance and anger over minor issues.

Anxiety: Unexplained nervousness and worry.

Depression: Persistent sadness, hopelessness, and lack of interest in daily activities.

Tearfulness: Increased tendency to cry easily.

Sleep Disturbances: Difficulty falling or staying asleep, which can intensify mood swings.

Homeopathy for Mood Swings During Menopause: A Natural Approach

Homeopathy looks at the bigger picture, how you feel physically, emotionally, and mentally.

We take the time to talk about all your symptoms, not just one. I use a range of homeopathic remedies to support menopausal mood swings, carefully selected to match your symptoms. My approach is to also use organ support remedies to support your liver and your adrenals.

The liver is essential for detoxifying and clearing excess hormones (like oestrogen) and metabolic waste, which helps keep hormone levels balanced during menopause.

The adrenals take on extra hormone- and stress-regulation duties when ovarian function declines, so nourishing them helps stabilise stress responses, energy and mood.

"There were things I might have hesitated telling a doctor yet I felt comfortable sharing all information in our calls.

She was non-judgemental and understanding and exuded confidence that she could help. And help she did.

We focused on one thing at a time and at each call, I could see the progress.''

Which homeopathic remedies help mood swings during menopause?

Homeopathic remedies are chosen uniquely for you. Some commonly used ones for mood swings include Sepia, Lachesis, and Ignatia. The remedy that helps most is always the one that matches your whole symptom picture. You can explore more in my article on Top Menopause Remedies.

How long does it take for homeopathy to help mood swings?

Every woman is different.

Some notice subtle shifts within a few weeks, while others find improvements build gradually over a few months. Regular check-ins mean your remedy can be adjusted to keep your emotional balance moving in the right direction.

Do I need to see a homeopath or can I choose the remedies myself?

You might be wondering whether you can safely choose homeopathic remedies on your own or if it’s better to work with a professional.

While you can explore some general remedies independently, a professional homeopath can look at your unique symptoms, emotional patterns, medical history, and lifestyle to find a remedy that truly fits you. Because of this, you’re far more likely to see improvements.

The ongoing support you receive while moving through menopause is just as important, giving you guidance, reassurance, and a sense of being fully supported as you go through menopause.
