Some of the difficulties experienced during menopausal years are due to adjustments we need to make in the regulation of fluctuating hormones and eventually lower hormonal levels. As menopause is not something to be ‘cured’ but rather a transitional process, be prepared to repeat indicated remedies at intervals as needed. Choose remedies that fit both the physical and the emotional symptoms.
