‘Folliculinum is a really brilliant remedy
around menopause. It pretty well covers the whole range of physical and mental
symptoms we might find at this time.’

Ripening Through the Menopause
Most homeopathic practitioners from different schools
agree with the statement that Folliculinum of the most (if not the most)
beneficial remedy for general use during menopause.
It
stimulates the continuing natural production of oestrogen by
the ovaries and by the other organs which also make small amounts of Oestrogen
including the adrenal glands, liver and kidneys. The most recommended is the LM
type potency, which is considered as the fastest, gentlest, and the deepest
acting of potencies.
In general, Folliculinum is the most beneficial remedy
for general use in any woman not only during peri-menopause, menopause, and post
menopause, but also after a hysterectomy or ovary removal (which causes
premature menopause).
The LM potency was the last great development by Samuel
Hahnemann and is supposed to be taken on a daily basis. The medicine should be
prepared for the patient’s use by a knowledgeable classical homeopath, because
Folliculinum LM potencies usually are not available in pharmacies in the proper
form for patient dosing. Note, that range of the LM potencies is quite wide -
from LM1 to LM 30 – so you need to consult with professional on the most useful
consumption regime.
Folliculinum is made from ovarian follicle, which is
folliculin, the natural hormone secreted by the ovaries and also known as
oestron. Folliculinum can be alternated
daily with any other appropriate remedy.
Folliculinum may help and actually prevent the wide range
of the hormonal symptoms associated with menopause. The following symptoms have
the best chance to be reduced substantially:
* Hot flashes: night sweats, feels hot and bothered, and
facial flushing.
* Vaginal dryness. Occasional, yellow or brownish vaginal
discharge.
* Menstrual cycle irregularities: either too short, too
long, or none at all; flooding; pre-menstrual syndrome.
* Fibroids.
* Cystitis that recurs premenstrually, or chronic
cystitis in menopause, chronic E. coli infections.
* Candida, yeast infections.
* Hair loss.
* Cardio-vascular problems: angina, palpitations,
tachycardia, and other heart irregularities.
* Dizziness, air hunger, and faintness.
* Headaches and migraines.
* Weight gain without over eating, both obesity and water
retention.
* Abdominal swelling and heaviness; bloating; stomach
rumblings.
* Chronic constipation, sometimes alternating with
diarrhea. Heavy feeling in rectum. Swollen liver.
* Cravings for sugar and wheat.
* Allergies of all sorts, hay-fever, allergic reactions.
* Skin rashes; itching; dry and chapping eczema; easy
bruising.
* Feelings being drained emotionally or psychologically;
over estimated energy reserves. Taken position of self-denial. High anxiety and
random panic attacks.
* Slow movement and spacey chinking.
* Hypersensitivity to noise, heat, and touch.
DISCLAIMER: The Folliculinum is not recommended for women
who are keeping their oestrogen levels low for the clinical reasons.
