Women's Cycles #01Menopause
The Menopause is a significant change in a woman's life, however it is not an illness nor does it have to be a negative experience.

During the Menopause, a woman's body begins to slow its production of oestrogen. Oestrogen levels fall by 40-60%, but progesterone levels often fall to zero or close to zero, which means the symptoms experienced by menopausal women are often in fact the symptoms of oestrogen dominance rather than deficiency.
These changes in hormone levels can cause irregular periods, hot flushes, night sweats and vaginal dryness. Some women also experience aches and pains, changes in libido, mood swings, low thyroid, depression, anxiety and insomnia (any difficulty with sleeping).

There are over 100 homeopathic remedies that are useful for treating these symptoms, and homeopathy has proved to be excellent in treating women going through the Menopause. In 1999, a survey by the Women's Nutritional Advisory Service found that 76% of women who had had homeopathy at the time of the Menopause found it helpful.

Women going through the Menopause can be supported naturally with homeopathic remedies and flower essences to make an easier transition through this natural stage in life.
