Perimenopause is a natural, gradual transition that begins several years before menopause.
It’s the body’s way of adjusting as the ovaries slowly produce less oestrogen.
Many women don’t realise they’re in perimenopause until they look back and notice the changes, irregular periods, disrupted sleep, or mood swings that seem to come from nowhere.
It can feel unsettling, but it’s also a time of transformation and opportunity. With the right support, this stage can lead to renewed energy, clarity, and emotional balance.
When Does Perimenopause Start?
Perimenopause usually begins in your 40s, though it can start earlier, even in your 30s.
It often lasts around four years, but for some women, it’s shorter or longer.
In the later stages of perimenopause, the drop in oestrogen speeds up. This is when symptoms tend to become more noticeable.
Once you’ve had no periods for 12 months, you’ve reached menopause, the next stage of your life.
Common Signs of Perimenopause
The first sign is often a change in your menstrual cycle. Your period might arrive earlier or later than usual, skip a month, or come with heavier or lighter bleeding than you’re used to.
You may also notice physical and emotional changes, such as:
Physical symptoms
Sleep disturbances
Fatigue
Hair thinning or loss
Digestive issues (nausea, bloating, constipation)
Emotional symptoms
Worsening PMT
Anxiety or low mood
Memory lapses and poor concentration
Feeling less like yourself
These symptoms can vary from mild to intense. Every woman’s experience is unique, which is why a personalised approach to care is so important.

Two Stages of Perimenopause
Understanding what’s happening in your body can help you navigate this time more smoothly.
Early transition – periods are still fairly regular, but timing or flow might change.
Late transition – longer gaps between periods, sometimes several months apart.
These stages reflect your body’s gradual movement towards menopause.
The Path Towards Menopause
When your periods have stopped for a full year, you’ve officially reached menopause. You can read more about natural support options in my homeopathy for menopause article.
At this stage, hormone levels, oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, remain lower but steadier. Some women find their symptoms ease off, while others continue to experience them for a while longer.
Whatever your experience, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Homeopathy can offer gentle, effective support to help you move through this stage of life with confidence and calm.
Homeopathy for Perimenopause
Homeopathy offers gentle, natural support during perimenopause. Rather than suppressing symptoms, it works with your body to restore balance.
In my clinic, I often see women who arrive feeling tired, anxious, and not quite themselves. After just a few weeks on the right remedy, they begin to feel calmer, more centred, and better able to cope.
“I’m feeling so much better under the wonderful care. My perimenopausal symptoms are really lessening after just the first month. I really look forward to more improvements in the coming months."
Every woman’s story is different, which is why homeopathy is always tailored to the individual.
Some commonly used remedies for perimenopausal symptoms include:
Sepia – for irritability, exhaustion, and hormonal imbalance
Pulsatilla – for weepiness, sensitivity, and changeable moods
Lachesis – for hot flushes, headaches, and emotional intensity
The right remedy depends on your full picture, physical, mental, and emotional.

Lifestyle Support During Perimenopause
Alongside homeopathy, small lifestyle changes can make a big difference.
These simple steps can help you feel more balanced and energised:
Eat regularly to maintain steady blood sugar levels
Choose organic foods and natural body products where possible
Support your gut with probiotics or fermented foods
Try gentle exercise such as yoga, walking, or swimming
Take time to relax, meditation, journaling, or simply being in nature can help
Consider magnesium-rich foods or Epsom salt baths to ease tension and improve sleep
Perimenopause is a good opportunity to prioritise yourself and nurture your wellbeing.
