Natural Remedy Guides
Hot flushes that arrive out of nowhere, broken sleep, a short fuse, waves of low mood and a tiredness that no amount of rest seems to touch — the menopause can unsettle almost every part of daily life. If you are looking for gentle, non-hormonal support to steady things through the transition, this guide explains how the antihomotoxic approach views the menopause and which remedies do what.
The menopause (the climacteric) is a natural shift, not an illness — but the hormonal re-balancing behind it can throw up a cluster of very real symptoms. The aim of the remedies below is to help the body regulate itself more smoothly, rather than to override the process.
Understanding the menopause
In the homotoxicology framework the climacteric is placed among the germinodermal impregnation phases — a phase of deeper regulatory change centred on the reproductive and endocrine tissues (Biotherapeutic Index, Therapeutic Index, ‘Menopause (climacteric)’). Because it sits in an impregnation phase, the picture is one of regulation and adaptation rather than acute inflammation, and an antihomotoxic approach aims to support the body's own hormonal and nervous balance as it recalibrates.
That is why the compendium's strategy is not a single remedy but a small, layered combination: one preparation to steady the hormonal terrain, and others chosen for the symptoms that trouble you most — flushes, sweating, palpitations, low mood or exhaustion.
The antihomotoxic approach
The main remedy the book names for the climacteric is Klimakt-Heel, indicated for ‘climacteric disorders’ and for the temporary relief of symptoms linked to the hormonal shift of the menopause. Alongside it, the compendium pairs Hormeel S, which addresses functional disturbances of the female cycle and helps regulate the hormonal terrain.
The book then layers in remedies for the emotional and nervous side of the climacteric: Nervoheel for psychological low mood and the ‘climacteric neurosis’, and Ypsiloheel for the globus-hystericus feeling and irrational, changeable symptoms. Galium-Heel is used as a general drainage remedy in the injection protocols.
Recommended remedies
The remedies the compendium names for the climacteric, with the picks it flags for particular symptoms:
- Klimakt-Heel — the main remedy for climacteric disorders; an extra tablet may be taken when a hot flush strikes.
- Hormeel S — for functional disturbance of the female cycle, to steady the hormonal terrain.
- Nervoheel — for psychological depression and the nervous, tearful side of the climacteric.
- Ypsiloheel — for globus hystericus, meteorism and irrational, changeable symptoms.
- Galium-Heel — as a general detoxicating and drainage remedy supporting the connective tissue.
- Guna Profem Plus — a modern nutraceutical developed to support women's physical and emotional wellbeing through perimenopause and menopause.
How to use them
A typical everyday regimen from the compendium combines the hormonal pair through the day: Hormeel S 8–10 drops at around 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., and Klimakt-Heel one tablet at around 12 noon and 8 p.m. — with an additional Klimakt-Heel tablet taken as needed when a hot flush comes on. In more troublesome phases the book allows the preparations to be taken together, 2, 4 or 6 times daily.
Layer in the symptom-specific remedies as required: Nervoheel for low mood and tearfulness, and Ypsiloheel for the globus feeling and changeable nervous symptoms. Guna Profem Plus can be taken as a daily sachet for broader wellbeing through the transition. For deeper or more resistant cases, the compendium describes practitioner-led injection protocols using Ovarium compositum and Metro-Adnex-Injeel with Galium-Heel to regulate the hormonal functions.
