Menopause homeopathy helps with depression
Mexican researchers have shown that homeopathic treatment can help relieve depression in menopausal women.
The study randomly divided Mexican women with moderate to severe menopausal depression into three groups:
Group 1 received individualized homeopathic therapy with C-potency and a placebo preparation (optically as antidepressant fluoxetine), group 2 received daily 20 mg of the antidepressant fluoxetine and a placebo (alcoholic solution, such as homeopathic remedy), group 3 contained the two placebos.
133 patients participated in the study. The result showed a significant and clinically relevant improvement in homeopathic and fluoxetine depression, but not placebo. (Pm)
