Menopausal symptoms are not an illness, but side effects of a natural change in the female body. The ovaries reduce the production of egg cells in a process that lasts up to 10 years until it comes to a complete standstill. This hormonal change is the cause of menopausal symptoms.
During this transition phase, homeopathic remedies can be helpful to alleviate the symptoms that arise.
