Jammu Tawi:Menopause, a natural biological process marking the cessation of a woman's menstrual cycles, can be linked to an elevated risk of cardiac diseases among women who are going through it, said Dr. Kushal Banerjee, Senior Homeopath, Dr. Kalyan Banerjee's Clinic. Menopause is a transformative phase, occurring typically in women between their late 40s or early 50s, which signals the end of ovulation and a decline in hormone production, particularly estrogen and progesterone.
Despite some growing awareness, heart disease is still predominantly viewed as a male concern. It's crucial to recognize that heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in numerous countries. Gender disparity in access to healthcare services is a global phenomenon and not limited to India. Dr. Kushal Banerjee said, “Menopause is a natural phenomenon and achieving it does not mean that diseases will automatically manifest themselves. However, along with menopause some changes occur in the body which can contribute to an increased risk for some diseases including heart disease. Depending on the issues in a patient, homeopathy can help increase metabolism, lower weight, lower blood sugar levels, increase or improve circulation and various other things – all of which play a crucial role in controlling severe heart challenges like cardiac arrest. It is important to remember that these changes only come about with changes in diet, exercise and improving other aspects of lifestyle.”“Homeopathy plays a crucial role in preventing and managing heart disease. Judicious and timely investigations can indicate early signs or risk factors of heart disease and specific medications and life changes can prevent any significant cardiac event from occurring. Aconite and Arnica are two extremely important homeopathic medicines for hypertension management and have prevented cardiac events in thousands of patients all over the world. The coronary artery disease protocols in homeopathic practices have managed cases of this condition and prevented stents or cardiac bypass surgeries in some cases when they have been followed along with lifestyle changes. Additionally, specific medicines like Calc Carb, Sepia, Lilium Tiglinum, and others were discovered to have specific benefits for middle aged women for heart conditions,” added Dr. Banerjee.
