Episode 128: Menopause Support – Understanding Your Symptoms with Ekta Kaur Ross

Episode Description:

In this heartfelt episode of the Homeopathy 24/7 podcast, Mary Greensmith sits down with homeopath Ekta Kaur Ross to talk all things menopause and homeopathy. Together, they share how homeopathy can support women through every stage of their menopause journey—from perimenopause to post-menopause and beyond.

The Menopause Journey: Everyone is Different

Ekta highlights that menopause isn’t just about hitting a certain age—it can begin as early as the late 30s and continues into later life. Each woman’s experience is unique, and symptoms can linger even after menopause is technically over. That’s why it’s so important to look at the whole picture and not just the numbers on a birth certificate.

How Homeopathy Supports Menopause

Mary and Ekta explain that homeopathy offers a complementary or alternative path alongside mainstream medicine. Whether a woman is using HRT, managing diabetes, or addressing other health concerns, homeopathy works by helping the body find balance naturally, without interfering with prescribed medications. It’s all about offering choice and empowering women to take control of their health journey.

Facebook Groups: Opening the Conversation

Ekta runs a thriving Facebook community dedicated to menopause and homeopathy. These groups aren’t about handing out one-size-fits-all remedies. Instead, they aim to spark curiosity, encourage learning, and help women understand when they can treat themselves and when they need a professional homeopath’s help.

Symptom Spotlight: Acid Reflux During Menopause

One big topic that came up is acid reflux, a common menopause symptom. Mary and Ekta explain that women can treat it acutely (with remedies like Nux Vomica, Robinia, or Natrum Sulphuricum) to get immediate relief. However, for lasting healing, it’s better to find the deeper cause—whether that’s hormonal shifts, changes in diet, medication, or lifestyle stress.

Understanding Food Sensitivities and Menopause

The discussion also dives into how food production has changed over the years. Increased additives, genetically modified ingredients, and different farming practices have made foods harder for some bodies to digest—especially during menopause. Symptoms like acid reflux or feeling constantly hungry might have roots in these subtle food changes.

Skin Changes, Joint Pain, and Whole-Person Healing

Menopause can also bring skin issues and joint pain. Ekta and Mary stress the importance of holistic treatment, not just “putting a plaster” on symptoms. For example, a rash or aching joints might signal deeper internal imbalances. Through constitutional homeopathy (where the whole person is treated, not just the symptom), women can achieve real, lasting improvements.

Constitutional Treatment: A Deeper, Personal Approach

Constitutional homeopathy means looking at the full person—their emotions, history, physical symptoms, and changes over time. It’s a highly personalized approach that offers longer-term relief compared to just treating symptoms temporarily.
