Homeopathy in menopause: insights into neuroendocrine effects
Homeopathy in menopause: insights into neuroendocrine effects
Menopause is a natural phase of life that marks the end of the childbearing time of a woman. She often brings unpleasant symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings. Many women are looking for gentle treatment methods, which also includes homeopathy. Homeopathic remedies (HMS) have long been used to relieve these symptoms, although there is a lack of extensive clinical research in this area. It is not exactly known whether and how these funds work on a neuroendocrine level, i.e. to what extent you can influence hormones and nervous system to improve symptoms of menopause.
Research has focused on better understanding the changes during menopause, especially how neuroendocrine changes can influence hot flaps and mood swings. It was examined whether certain homeopathic remedies that are often prescribed against menopausal complaints could have an effect on the nerve and hormone system. The research work showed that changes in the gonade hormones that occur during menopause influence the neurotransmitter systems. This plays a role in mood disorders and the regulation of body temperature. It was discovered that some homeopathic remedies had anxious effects in rodent models, which could indicate that they could also have a similar effect in humans.
The conclusion of this research suggests that homeopathic remedies may trigger neuroendocrine effects in the body directly or indirectly, possibly about a previously unknown biological mechanism. However, many questions in this area are still unanswered, which means that further pre-clinical and clinical research is necessary to confirm these hypotheses.
These findings could lead to homeopathic remedies in the future as an effective treatment method for menopausal symptoms if their mode of action and effectiveness are underpinned by further research. This would also mean that doctors and health service providers may be able to rethink their previous practices and to consider homeopathic means to support women in menopause.
Basic terms and concepts:
- menopause: The life phase of a woman in whom she stops being menstruative, which marks the end of reproductive ability.
- neuroendocrine effect: influence on the nerve and hormone system.
- homeopathic remedies (HMS): in homeopathy substances that aim to promote healing by using strongly diluted agents, which is believed to cause similar symptoms in the body.
- gonade hormones: hormones that are produced by the gender glands and, among other things, influence reproduction and sexual function.
- neurotransmitter: chemical messenger substances in the nervous system that transmits information between nerve cells.
neuroendocrine effects of homeopathic remedies in menopausal complaints
The examination of the possible neuroendocrine effects of homeopathic remedies (HMS) on menopausal complaints such as vasomotor symptoms and mood changes is the focus of this research. In particular, the analysis of the mode of action of two frequently prescribed homeopathic means for menopausal complaints illustrates the scientific interest in a more precise basis for understanding for the use of homeopathy taking the neuroendocrine level.
methodology
A comprehensive literature search was carried out for this study, which focused on the pathophysiology of menopause, depressive changes and current evidence for the effect of HMS in terms of menopause and depression. The research work illuminates the neuroendocrine changes that are connected to vasomotor symptoms and mood changes during menopause. Among other things, the role of gonadal hormones and their influence on neurotransmitter systems were examined.main results
It was found that neuroendocrine changes play an important role in the pathophysiology of menopausal symptoms. Gonadal hormones that affect neurotransmitter systems are involved in the regulation of the mood and the temperature regulation. The examination of and showed that these substances in animal models can cause anxiolytic effects. In addition, the ink of the common squid (Sepia Officinalis) includes dopamine, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood regulation.
conclusions
The results of this study support the hypothesis that homeopathic remedies that contribute to improving the menopausal symptoms in daily practice may cause direct or indirect neuroendocrine effects in the body. These effects could be conveyed through previously unknown biological mechanisms. The research results suggest that further pre-clinical and clinical research are necessary to answer the questions raised and to understand the neuroendocrine mechanisms of action of homeopathic remedies during menopause.
The knowledge presented underpin the importance of well -founded clinical and preclinical research in this area in order to explore the potential neuroendocrine mechanisms of action of homeopathic remedies to menopausal complaints and to expand the therapeutic applications of these alternative forms of treatment.
