The best homeopathic remedies for menopause from hot flashes and not only

A small proportion of women endure the hormonal changes associated with the end of the reproductive period quite painlessly. But most experience certain, often significant, discomfort at this time. Climacteric disorders manifest themselves, first of all, in hot flashes, which are complicated by nervousness, tearfulness, weakness and rapid fatigue associated with sleep disorders, changes in blood pressure, headaches and dizziness. Women often complain of problems with the cardiovascular, endocrine, genitourinary, and musculoskeletal systems.

The main treatment, and it must be admitted – quite effective, is hormone replacement therapy. However, hormone treatment has a number of serious contraindications and can lead to the development of malignant neoplasms.

Alternative medicine, in particular homeopathy, can offer many drugs that will significantly reduce and eventually eliminate climacteric disorders without causing any side effects. True, the effect of homeopathic drugs occurs somewhat slower than that of hormones, but it is nevertheless quite stable and can eliminate not only climacteric syndrome, but also help get rid of the unpleasant symptoms of concomitant diseases. The goal of homeopathic treatment is to improve the health of the entire human body, which is considered as a single whole, and with a serious approach to treatment, patients achieve good results.

In addition to the listed complex homeopathic preparations of famous brands, each homeopathic pharmacy usually produces its own ready-made complex preparations. Among them, there is almost always a preparation that relieves the symptoms of climacteric syndrome. However, you should know that complex homeopathic medicines are made from natural substances in ultra-small doses in compliance with the technology, but at the same time the most important principle of homeopathy is not observed - similarity. These preparations are not individualized. You are lucky if the composition of the preparation contains your remedy - then there will be a positive result. This explains the presence of both positive and negative reviews of the same drug.

The most effective homeopathic medicines for menopause are those prescribed by a homeopathic doctor, having studied individual complaints, determined the patient's constitutional type, habits, character traits, external data, personal and family history. Classical homeopathy recognizes the treatment of the patient with one medicine, during the treatment it can be replaced with another, but it will also be one.
