HORMONES – Cycle, Fertility, Menopause

The treatment of disturbances in functioning and regulation is a domain of homeopathy. This is especially true for female hormone balance, which reacts very sensitively to environmental influences but is also closely related to the state of mind. Since Hahnemann‘s time we know of remedies such as Pulsatilla and Sepia which have a special effect on the menstrual cycle, fertility, pregnancy, and the menopause.

The list of “women’s” remedies has grown and grown, now including many minor remedies and entire remedy families that have proved useful for dysmenorrhea, premenstrual syndrome, or in the menopause. In many cases remedy selection with the approved indications is insufficient, and the simillimum is only found via the totality of symptoms, the life history, or the vital sensation. From the menarche to the menopause, we look at a range of different methodologies and typical remedies, using numerous cases of menstrual difficulties, unfulfilled wish for children, or cycle-dependent mood disorders. We aim to demonstrate the key role of homeopathy in the treatment of hormonally caused female complaints.
