Menopausal Hot Flashes
Four Key Homeopathic Remedies
Though poorly understood..
◊ Menopausal hot flashes to some extent
reflect:
• A rise in adrenalin levels and a decrease in
estrogen levels
• Heightened sensitivity to external heat
• An imbalance in the autonomic nervous
system (both the Sympathetic and the
Parasympathetic)
Homeopathy, a Synopsis
◊ Key Ideas
• Mirroring: nature’s reflection in remedies
• The Law of Similars
• Nudging the vital force
Courtesy of the honeybee,
Apis
Understanding Apis (crushed
angry bees)…
◊ Ouch! I’ve been stung!
…it burns and itches!
…now it’s swelling!
…I can’t sit still!
…quick, put some ice on it!
Understanding Apis…
◊ What’s in the venom?
Hyaluronic acid
Understanding Apis…
◊ Hyaluronic acid
An inflammatory agent but paradoxically used
to treat arthritis in bee sting therapy (Hey!
That sounds homeopathic!)
A component of the sperm cell’s warhead
“acromium,” enabling the sperm to explode its
way into the egg.
Understanding Apis…
◊ In summary Hyaluronic acid…
…connects the dots between inflammation
and reproduction
Understanding Apis…
◊ Mysteries of the honeybee
* A sisterhood unisphere
* Heat control in the hive from beating wings
* Who gets to be anointed with the Royal Jelly?
* Virgin queens and their hunger games
* The hive divides along royal lines
Apis as a mirror for hot
flashes:
◊ “Heated” exchanges
◊ Thermal control of the hive
◊ Thwarted reproduction an inflammatory issue
◊ Suppressed productivity as an inflammatory issue
◊ Entrenched adrenalization
The hot flashing Apis woman
has likely experienced:
◊ A history of bloating during her menses
◊ Some degree of conflict between procreation
and work in her life
◊ Placing a high value on the importance of
family
◊ Intense rivalry with a sister
◊ Restless desire for an active community life
What to expect from Apis
◊ A general cooling of the hot flashes or
less aggravation from their presence
◊ Reduced agitation and jealousy
◊ Possible shift into a Natrum Muriaticum
remedy state characterized by
suppressed grief
Courtesy of the bushmaster
snake, Lachesis
Understanding Lachesis
(made from the snake’s
venom)
◊ A battle between the Id and the
Supergo
• Strong primal instincts
• Suppressing instinctual intensity
• Jealousy
• Sexuality
• Loquacity and throat sensitivity
Understanding Lachesis
◊ Emotionally charged relationships
◊ Clairvoyance
◊ Pressure cooker (delusion she is under
superhuman control)
◊ Nightly aggravation (when the Id is free
to assert itself)
Lachesis, a mirror for hot
flashes:
◊ Internal energetic compression
• Promoting hypertension
◊Anxiety
◊Chest oppression
• Resulting from emotional intensity
◊Grief
◊Betrayal
◊Frustration (thwarted control)
What to expect from Lachesis
◊ Reduction in hot flashes or sensitivity to
heat
◊ Less talkative and less anxious
◊ Likely switch to another less jealous
snake remedy state
Courtesy of the cuttlefish,
Sepia
Understanding Sepia (ink of
the cuttlefish)
◊ Though essentially an optimist she finds
hope has become toxic
• Due to repeated disappointment and
resentment
◊ Confusion as to psycho-sexual identity
• Am I a vibrant reproductive woman or am I
barren?!
Understanding Sepia
◊ Stagnation
• Abdominal bloating
• Flattening of the breasts
• Emotional flatness
◊Apathy
◊ Indifference to loved ones
• Exhaustion
Sepia as a mirror of hot
flashes:
◊ Spewn ink muddies the waters
• Where is the fish? Where is the woman in
life?
◊ Spewn ink stagnates the water
• Stagnation promotes heat as in the
example of decomposing matter in a
composte heap
Sepia explained by Traditional
Chinese Medicine:
◊ Constrained Liver syndrome
• Resentment or internalized anger
disharmonizes the Liver
◊The Liver’s energy knots up
◊The Liver’s heat energy or Yang becomes
hyperactive and rises causing a heat flush
What to expect from Sepia…
◊ Renewal of hope
◊ Resolved stagnation and better energy
◊ Reduced hot flashes
◊ Shift into another remedy state (again,
Natrum Muriaticum is a possibility)
Courtesy of the volcano,
Sulphur
Understanding Sulphur
◊ Derived from vulcanic magma deep
within the earth
• Like having an inefficient furnace within
oneself
◊Aggravation from heat
◊Excessive appetite
◊Gassiness
◊Dry skin eruptions
•
Understanding Sulphur
◊ Positive pole
• Primal creativity
• Childlike curiosity
• Lush vegetation of the Hawaiian Islands
• I am the center of the universe personality
• Formidable woman
Understanding Sulphur
◊ Negative pole
• Poorly consolidated energy
• Laziness or lack of follow-through
• Slovenly
• Mad scientist
• Social alienation
Sulphur, as a mirror of
eruptive heat
◊ Burning like the heat of a volcano
◊ Eruptive skin ailments
◊ Offensive, excoriating discharges
◊ Sulphuric flatulence
◊ Intolerable flushes
Sulphur accounted for by
Traditional Chinese Medicine
◊ Internal pathogenic heat
• Causes
◊ Excess Yang and deficient
Yin from
• Overthinking
• Improper diet
What to expect from Sulphur
◊ Enhanced toleration of heat
◊ Reduced hot flashes
◊ Decreased appetite
◊ Enlarged social awareness
◊ Shift into a more socially aware remedy state
such as Calcarea featuring cautiousness and
concern for shelter or Lycopodium (featuring
insecurity)
How cool is that?
So glad I tried homeopathy!

Editor's Notes

  1. Now we are getting closer to the relationship between bees and hot flashes.
  2. Themes: community consciousness and jealous rivalry. “Heated” exchanges.
  3. Themes: community consciousness and jealous rivalry. “Heated” exchanges.
  4. Nat Mur, the good girl’s remedy. Also with awareness of how emotionally charged her relationship is to her mother…
  5. Civilization and its Discontents by Sigmund Freud. Throat area as the battle zone between body’s truck (holding primal instincts) and the head (holding the suppressive agenda)
  6. Arethra Franklin’s natural woman: loves to dance, loves nature, is invested in forward motion in life.
