The most popular homeopathic remedies for menopause

Menopause is not a disease, but it causes a lot of inconvenience for women. A decrease in estrogen production causes unpleasant symptoms: hot flashes, frequent headaches, mood swings, urinary incontinence, varicose veins. This worsens the quality of life and limits some opportunities.

The treatment offered by modern medicine is in most cases represented by the prescription of hormonal drugs. The consequences of their use may be more serious than organic disorders caused by a decrease in estrogen production.

The use of homeopathy for menopause will help improve the quality of life without deteriorating your health.

Modern views on homeopathy

Traditional medicine does not consider homeopathic remedies to be full medicines. Homeopathic treatment is based on two main principles: firstly, like can be cured by like, and secondly, very small doses of the active substance are needed for therapy. Therefore, an infinitely small dosage of natural substances is introduced into the body, which, in large doses, can provoke the development of the disease.

Thus, a homeopathic medicine, entering the body, triggers an immunocorrection mechanism, which allows you to restore damaged processes, and thereby promotes recovery. Official medicine believes that the positive results that treatment with homeopathic remedies gives is solely the placebo effect - the power of faith in recovery.

But, in practice, in many cases, homeopathy has given positive results for many years. It is used in the treatment of diseases of organs of the following systems: respiratory, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immune and hematopoietic.

Recently, more and more women prefer to treat the symptoms of menopause with homeopathy rather than hormones. But, despite the fact that such a product contains a minimal amount of active substances, you cannot take them yourself. They should be prescribed by an experienced homeopathic specialist.

The effectiveness of homeopathic treatment

Experts today have differing opinions about the advisability of hormone therapy. In addition, many women refuse to take hormone-containing drugs because they are afraid of their side effects, do not have the financial ability to constantly buy them, or for other reasons.

In such cases, you can use treatment for menopause without hormones, which consists of the use of phytohormones, homeopathic medicines, dietary supplements, etc.

Homeopathy for menopause is very popular. The effect of homeopathic remedies is based on the activation of the body’s natural mechanisms. Patients are prescribed small doses of substances that, in large doses, can lead to negative consequences.

Homeopathic medicines will help eliminate symptoms of menopause such as:

• hyperhidrosis (increased sweating);
• menopausal vertigo (dizziness);
• hot flashes during menopause;
• dryness of the vaginal mucous membranes;
• mood swings;
• weight gain and others.

The benefits of homeopathy for menopause include the following:

• natural origin of components;
• relatively low cost;
• there are practically no side effects, only allergies to the components of the product;
• safety of use in the elderly.

Let's consider the most effective homeopathic remedies used for menopause.

• Remens – 580 rubles. The drug consists of soybean phytohormones, which activate the synthesis of sex hormones at the level of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Remens effectively relieves a woman of hot flashes during menopause and prevents the appearance of vaginitis. In addition, with the help of Remens you can prevent urinary incontinence and cystitis during menopause.
• Estrovel - 385 rubles. This drug contains phytoestrogens from soy and wild yam, as well as a complex of vitamins and microelements. Estrovel allows you to reduce the number and intensity of hot flashes and sweating.
• Feminal – 670 rubles. This drug contains liquid extracts of nettle, oregano, celandine, hawthorn, shepherd's purse herb, centaury, St. John's wort, thyme, celandine and calendula. Feminal helps get rid of hot flashes, excessive sweating, psycho-emotional lability and dizziness during menopause, and women do not recover from this medicine.
• Climaxin – 120 rubles. This preparation consists of sepia, lachesis and black cohosh. The action of Climaxin is aimed mainly at regulating vegetative-vascular disorders (insomnia, irritability, palpitations, excessive sweating, dizziness) during menopause.
• Klimakt-Hel – 400 rubles. This drug perfectly eliminates the symptoms caused by menopause.

Herbal preparations for menopause contain phytoestrogens - substances that can perform the function of female sex hormones and eliminate the symptoms of aging in the female body.

Today, the most effective and popular drug for menopause symptoms is Inoklim, which is a biological supplement based on phytoestrogens.

Inoclim effectively fights such menopausal symptoms as a feeling of heat in the body, vaginal dryness, increased sweating, and also prevents the development of complications.

The drug has virtually no contraindications or side effects. Inoclim is not prescribed only to those who are allergic to the substances that make up its composition.

Thus, we have looked at what medications to take during menopause to alleviate its symptoms. But drug therapy can and should be supplemented with proper and balanced nutrition, drinking enough fluids, playing sports, and taking vitamin and mineral complexes. Also, do not forget about the positive emotions that communication with loved ones, hobbies or handicrafts can give you.

To get a consultation

But with the proper selection of drugs, which involves taking into account the individual characteristics of the female body, it is possible to eliminate menopausal symptoms completely or make their manifestations less pronounced, as well as normalize the cycle and significantly improve the general condition by strengthening the immune system.

Definition of the term.

The positive aspects of homeopathic treatment during menopause include:

1. Completely natural composition of drugs.
2. Virtually no side effects. Some women may be allergic to some components of the medicine.
3. Mild effect on the body due to the fact that the active substances are in very small doses.
4. A very small list of contraindications for use. As a rule, individual intolerance to some component of the product.
5. Good effect in treating symptoms of menopause and restoring the menstrual cycle.
6. There is no addiction to the drugs, which allows women, if necessary, to take them for a long time without harm to their health.
7. The relatively low cost of such drugs.

Homeopathic therapy provides that the effect on the body is carried out smoothly, and therefore, the course of treatment lasts on average 3 months, and some tablets need to be taken for six months, but the first results will already be noticeable after taking the drugs for two weeks.

Menopause and its stages

Conventionally, this time can be divided into several stages:

• First, premenopause lasts approximately four years. The countdown starts from the last menstrual period. A woman begins to experience severe mood swings, she feels hot and cold, and her menstrual cycle is rearranged. In some cases, a difficult awakening in the morning is added.
• Menopause can only be established after a year without menstrual flow. The average age of onset is 51 years.
• The final stage is postmenopause . This is the period from the very last menstruation when a woman begins to experience an acute lack of estrogen. Without it, the risk of cardiovascular disease increases.

Homeopathic medicines protect the woman’s body during this period from complications such as osteoporosis and heart disease.

Important nuances

What is this treatment method?

Homeopathic therapy has the following disadvantages:

• the need for a paid consultation with a homeopathic doctor;
• ineffective for severe diseases and pathologies;
• cannot be combined with taking medicinal herbs.

Not all doctors involved in traditional medicine recognize the effect of using homeopathic medicines. Some people consider homeopaths to be charlatans. Others prescribe homeopathic pills to strengthen the immune system during hormone replacement therapy.

However, when choosing a treatment method, the patient always has the final say. If in doubt, it is advisable to seek additional advice from another specialist.

Homeopathic medicines used for menopause are available in different dosage forms: tablets, granules or drops. They come as single drugs or as special complexes in which the effect of one component enhances the effect of the others. They contain only natural ingredients: immunostimulants and natural estrogens, which are found in some types of plants, as well as beekeeping products, lachesis - snake venom and extracts from other animals.

Estrogens

Preparations that contain only estrogens are produced mainly in the form of gels, creams, patches or implants that are placed under a woman’s skin.

The most effective for menopause are the following gels and ointments with estrogens:

• Divigel – 620 rubles;
• Estrogel – 780 rubles;
• Octodiol – the drug is not commercially available;
• Menorest - the drug is not commercially available;
• Proginova - 590 rubles.

Among estrogen patches, the following have performed well:

• Estraderm - the drug is not commercially available;
• Alora – 250 rubles;
• Klimara – 1214 rubles;
• Estramon – 5260 rubles;
• Menostar.

Gels and ointments are quite convenient to use, since they only need to be applied once a day to the skin of the shoulders, abdomen or lower back.

Hormonal patches are an even more convenient dosage form because they need to be changed once every seven days.

Implants that are sewn under the skin last six months, releasing a small dose of estrogen into the blood every day.

Gels, ointments, creams, patches and implants have a number of advantages over oral or injectable forms of hormonal drugs, namely:

• ease of dosage selection;
• gradual penetration of estrogen into the blood;
• the hormone enters directly into the blood without passing through the liver;
• maintaining a balance of different types of estrogens;
• minimal risk of side effects;
• can be used even if there are contraindications to the use of estrogens.
