Management of distress during climacteric years by homeopathic therapy
Published: 2011 ยท Modality: Homeopathy
Study summary
A study by Nayak C. in India involving 222 women evaluating homeopathic relief for menopausal symptoms.
What is commonly claimed
Hormonal shifts in menopause are biologically fixed and unresponsive to homeopathic 'vital force' balancing.
What the study actually found
The study found a significant association between homeopathic intervention and relief from menopausal symptoms, as well as improvements in blood cholesterol, triglycerides, and VLDL profiles. Changes in FSH, HDL and LDL were not significant. This was an open, uncontrolled observational study across six Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy centres with one year of follow-up.
Key findings
- Significant relief from menopausal symptoms.
- Positive impact on lipid profiles (cholesterol, triglycerides).
- Evidence for metabolic support during hormonal transitions.
