Have you booked your homeopathic appointment yet? ☝️

I used to suffer with daily headaches that were controlling my life. I would get migraines so bad, I had to stay in bed for days.🥺

That was 20 years ago. With the right homeopathic treatment, I haven't had a migraine since and I rarely get any headaches, unless I am very tired or haven't hydrated properly.

If you are struggling, I can help. Let's chat, I got you!🤲

A great post about Menopausal symptoms from Karen, thank you for taking the time to put this together 🙌

New blog post:

Homeopathy for Menopausal Hot Flushes

Hot flushes are often the first sign of hormonal changes occurring during perimenopause, and a significant proportion of women experience them at this time. Your body’s temperature regulation mechanism is controlled by the hypothalamus - which is the part of your brain which acts as the ‘control centre’ for your endocrine or hormonal system. As oestrogen production declines, it changes the way the hypothalamus regulates temperature, making it more sensitive to small changes in body temperature.

Hot flushes typically come on suddenly, usually with heat in the torso, neck, head and face. This may be accompanied by redness of skin, sweating, and sometimes elevated heart rate. Flushes can alternate with chills, and are sometimes associated with mood changes, especially anxiety. Frequency and duration vary, with some women experiencing hot flushes multiple times every day.

As the production of oestrogen in the ovaries is downregulated, the adrenal glands pick up production, and post menopause, the adrenals become the body’s main source of oestrogen. If our adrenals are already overburdened before menopause, due to long term stress or chronic illness, for example, symptoms will be more likely to occur. Cortisol is released by the adrenal glands in response to stress, and this hormone is prioritised over oestrogen. This means that if we are experiencing stress, hot flushes may become worse.

Conventional treatment for menopausal symptoms including hot flushes, is with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). For those who wish to take a more natural approach, or are concerned about side effects, there are many natural ways of restoring and maintaining a better hormonal balance as you move through perimenopause and into menopause. Alongside homeopathic treatment, these include:

Stress management and exercise (eg walking, yoga, Tai Chi or Chi Gung; meditation)
Wear natural fibres (to wick moisture and regulate body temperature)
Nutrition and supplements (Increase healthy fats, especially Omega 3 fatty acids; increase magnesium; Vitamins C&D; phytoestrogens, such as red clover extract).

Homeopathy takes a highly personalised approach to treatment, considering your hormonal history and the way you experience disruption during menopause. Remedies prescribed are selected according to each woman’s individual symptom profile.

Amyl nitrosum
Amyl nitrosum is a remedy used in cases where hot flushes may start in the face or stomach, and are accompanied by deep facial reddening and a sensation of fullness and throbbing in the face and head. Flushes are typically followed by profuse drenching sweats, and then in some cases, cold clamminess. Women who will benefit from Amyl nitrosum will have a strong desire for fresh air, and may want a window open even in cold weather. Amyl nitrosum is among the main remedies for anxiety in menopause, with a feeling that something is going to happen. It is also one of the main remedies for palpitations in menopause.

Glonoinum
This remedy has flushes of heat that characteristically rise to the head, with throbbing and pressure in the head. Symptoms come on suddenly, and the hot flushes are often accompanied by nausea and vertigo. Women who will benefit from Glonoinum will sometimes experience palpitations and swelling of feet alongside the hot flushes.

Lachesis
Lachesis is one of the main remedies for symptoms of all kinds that come on at menopause, and is also noted as one of the main remedies where periods cease suddenly from emotional trauma. Hot flushes may typically occur on falling asleep at night, or on waking in the morning. It is one of the main remedies for hot flushes that come on at night and disturb sleep, and flushes may be accompanied by a rush of blood to the head, and drenching sweats. One of the key things about Lachesis in hot flushes is a strong aversion to being around sources of heat, with a general feeling of being uncomfortably hot.

Sepia
Sepia is a well known homeopathic remedy for symptoms arising during menopause. The hot flushes typically rise upwards from the chest, come on suddenly, and are accompanied by faintness and feelings of weakness. There may be perspiration which is either momentary or drenching. The symptoms may also be associated with anxiety or irritability (especially with partner). Sepia is one of the main remedies for irregular bleeding in perimenopause.

Crotalus horridus
Crotalus horridus is a remedy is the same group as Lachesis, and is another remedy which has a strong affinity to the circulatory and endocrine systems. In menopause Crotalus horridus has hot flushes with sweating, and sensations of fullness and throbbing in the head, which may be accompanied by vertigo. Like Amyl nitrosum, it is also one of the main remedies for palpitations occurring alongside hot flushes during perimenopause and menopause.

Sulphuric acid
This remedy is sometimes indicated in cases where hot flushes are very frequent. There can be a feeling of being constantly rushed and hurried. Especially characteristically, there may be a sense of vibration or tremor that accompanies the hot flushes.

Could Homeopathy be an alternative to HRT? Absolutely yes!

Many of the women I see are drawn to a more natural approach to menopause. So it’s good to know about alternatives to HRT: Homeopathy

It's been long over due 🧡

Ever since I started practicing homeopathy, I longed to have my own private clinic to see my clients and immerse myself into homeopathy.🙌

After moving to our new-old-house, I have been slowly working to make this space welcoming, wholesome, nurturing and healing.

Having my own clinic is making a huge difference to the way I work, being away from the busy family life and having the space and the privacy to do so.
Most importantly, I love coming in here, immersing myself into my homeopathic books, my studies, having the quiet and healing space to nourish myself and my patients.🙏
It is far from perfect yet, but it's my sanctuary and I love it!🧡
I hope my lovely patients find it as calming and nourishing as I do🧡🙌

This is a small caption of 11 year old Harry's incredible story. He suffered from extreme anxiety, so much so, that his parents had to take him out of school. He had horrible nightmares and wouldn't go to sleep, waking up several times with night terrors. He actually had really morbid thoughts and no social life, would hardly leave the house and always wanted to be around his mother. The whole family was heartbroken. After homeopathic treatment, he came out of his depression, started socializing again, going out with his friends and actually asked to go back to school. I am sharing this story as a reminder of how incredibly transformative homeopathy can be in people's lives. I am so incredibly proud of this young man's progress so far, I cant see how he goes through life as a happier, best version of himself!

💫I had the privilege of seeing a lady in her early 80's today, full of love and joy for life. She has been feeling a bit unwell and unmotivated recently, just not herself. We tapped into the present and the past, trying to understand where the uneasiness comes from, and we hit the spot!🌸

💫It was wonderful to witness her opening up, connecting with herself, getting emotional while sharing her story. When we finished, she said to me:

💮"I really didn't expect that today, meeting you was a beautiful experience, I felt I was in a magical world!".💮

It really was one of the most beautiful compliments I have been given for my work.🌸

💫I love creating the space for people to heal themselves and I am really humbled by having the privilege to hear their stories. They so often say, "I have never told this to anyone else in my life!

💫Having the space to share and be heard is a sacred practice and when our beautiful remedies follow to complete the healing process, it's all magical really!
What else would I do if I wasn't a homeopath?? Nothing, ever! I would be a homeopath all over again ✨

"Gendered ageism also has an impact, she agreed. "In cultures where women's status increases with age, menopause can be easier. If we fear menopause because we've been taught it's the end of our value to society, that doesn't bode well for our physical and emotional response to it. We also know that diet, lifestyle, mindset, environmental factors, stress, etc. massively impact how women experience menopause."

Experts contributing to a Lancet series say we have, but others think that saying menopause is over-medicalised could lead to the disempowerment of women.
