HOMEOPATHIC HORMONAL BALANCING-
NATURAL
NO SIDE-EFFECTS
SAFE AND EFFECTIVE
Homeopathy works differently than hormone replacement therapy in that this natural
system of medicine brings the entire endocrine system into balance as part of treating
the whole being. What I mean by this is that the homeopathic remedy treats the totality,
ie. the mental, physical and emotional. So, in creating an equilibrium within the entire
system, the hormonal symptoms will calm, the body will have more energy, the mood will
rise and the mind will have more clarity.
How does this work? Homeopathy, meaning same disease, is based on
“The Law of Similars.” By taking the homeopathic medicine that creates the same
symptoms that your body is currently experiencing, it gently dissolves the matching or
corresponding diseased state because the body cannot sustain two like diseases simultaneously.
Here is an example, A patient is very irregular with her menses and she has continuous
hot flashes without thirst that were better on going outside. She is extremely moody,
yet better with company and affection. The remedy that she would do well on is called
Pulsatilla (Windflower) If Pulsatilla is taken in its crude form by a healthy person, the
same symptoms of moodiness, hot flashes, and irregular menses would appear. However, in
the homeopathic preparations, the toxicity is removed. So, there are no side-effects.
The state of the remedy would correspond to the state of this woman and she would feel
much more in control of her emotions, her menses would regulate and her hot flashes would
reduce.
From seeds to blooming petals, nature, on all levels, is in continuous transition. Below
are some familiar female cross points that homeopathy can address.
Further Examples of Homeopathic Hormonal Treatment:
PMS in Teenagers: Smiling little Lisa, age 14, goes to school one day happy as can
be, and comes home an obstinate, moody teenager. She had always been motivated with her
schoolwork. Now she has lost her motivation and really does not care about her grades.
Her periods are very painful and irregular.
After homeopathic treatment: Lisa’s periods began to regulate without the cramping
and bloating. That moodiness disappeared and she was much easier to get along with at home
and with her friends. Her motivation with school returned and she was able to get through
her homework without a fight.
PMS in Adults: Capable, confident Barbara, age 26, finds herself overwhelmed in
her career, unable to maintain healthy relationships due to her mood swings and
irritability. She has a predictable week just before her menses of causeless tears and
deep despair. Her cramps and fatigue are so intense that they require her to miss work
and stay in bed for a full day.
After homeopathic treatment : The first month after the remedy, Barbara noticed
that it was the week before her period and she was still feeling good. She was not weepy
or depressed. As the months progressed, her periods became lighter and she did not
experience the pain and fatigue of the past. She became stronger physically and emotionally,
so she had the energy to enjoy her career rather than become overwhelmed by it. Her
relationships improved because little things did not upset her as much. She was able to
focus on the positive aspects of her life, rather than what might be missing.
POST-PARTUM DEPRESSION: New Mother, Sarah, age 35, just gave birth to a beautiful
son. Instead of feeling excited and proud, she has fallen into a post-partum depression
full of doom and gloom and apathy for the things she normally loves to do. Sarah also has
been experiencing episodes of migraine headaches that she has never had before.
After homeopathic treatment: Sarah responded fairly quickly to her homeopathic
treatment. Her depression lifted as her hormonal state began to balance. She began to
bond with her new child and felt excited about his presence in her life. She finally
had the energy to care for him. Also, her migraines improved over the next three months
and have not returned.
PERI-MENOPAUSE: Julia, 47, is not feeling herself lately. Her periods have become
very irregular, varying between twice a month and nothing for three months. She is waking
exhausted, and the fatigue does not wear off as the day progresses. Recently, she has
experienced some free- floating anxiety that has left her feeling insecure and fearful.
Julia is also complaining of weakness of memory and difficulty focusing with her general
day- to- day tasks.
After homeopathic treatment: The first symptom that improved was Julia’s
anxiety. She began feeling confident again and the episodes dissipated. Then Julia’s
energy returned. She felt like exercising again. Her periods remained irregular, about
every other month, which is a normal in this stage of peri-menopause. However, she stopped
having two periods in one month. Her mind began to feel much clearer and she was able to
accomplish her daily tasks.
MENOPAUSE: Carol, age 56, does not feel the zest for life that she usually
experiences. She wakes feeling foggy, like a veil is hanging over her. Her grandkids
have come to visit and she feels guilty for not having the energy to play with them.
Two years prior, one of Carol’s closest friends passed away. She continues to mourn her
loss on a daily basis and feels the pain as if it just happened yesterday. Since this
time, Carol has also had several sinus infections and increased hair loss. Prior to this
loss, she was hardly ever sick.
After homeopathic treatment: Immediately following the homeopathic dose, Carol
experienced deep healing from the grief she had been feeling. She cried as she had in
the past, yet this time she felt great relief after the tears. Over the next six months,
the veil lifted and she began enjoying her life again. She missed her friend, but she did
not feel that painful grief that had been gripping her. Also, as her strength increased,
her hair stopped falling out and Carol did not experience anymore sinus infections.
Do any of these phases sound familiar? Each of these phases represents many of life’s
normal transitions. From infancy, through adolescence, menopause and the elderly years,
we ebb and flow through our changes. Even though these shifts are part of the natural
evolutionary process, females often struggle with the changing tides leaving them feeling
out of control and out of balance.
As you can see, each scenario had it’s own specific characteristics, even though the
phases are common. So, there are many homeopathic medicines for hot flashes, mood
swings, exhaustion and so on. It is always particular to how it plays out in your own
body. Your homeopath would work to find the correct homeopathic remedy that fits your entire
picture. Rather than suppressing symptoms with drugs, homeopathy can heal on a very deep
level while restoring the body to its natural vital state of health.
