Insights & Client Cases: Fertility Success & Balanced Hormones

As the end of the year approaches, I thought I’d share some recent insights and client cases where Homeopathy has helped women with fertility and hormonal problems.

It’s wonderful to see what homeopathy can do for women in such a short space of time and how it supports them back to good health and happy balanced hormones. A gentle, yet powerful system of medicine that has a wealth of support to offer.

Mariah, Dublin 9

Mariah has been working with me in the Preconception Care/Boost Your Fertility Programme for 3 months and has made outstanding progress in improving her health.

• When she wasn’t falling pregnant, she was keen to take a proactive approach and get her health in the best possible shape so she could conceive naturally. She also wanted support with the emotional challenges and disappointment that each period brought with it.
• Our work together involved balancing hormones, clearing the effects of the contraceptive pill, supporting lifestyle changes, and dealing with all the emotions around becoming a mum.
• Mariah has made huge changes both physically and emotionally and it’s wonderful to see what is possible in such a short period of time.

Congratulations and wishing this wonderful couple health and happiness on their first pregnancy journey.

6 Years of Hormonal Migraines Gone in 6 Months

Rachel, aged 29, came to see me for crippling migraines that she’d been having for 6 years.  The migraines were becoming very aggressive recently and she was at a loss on how she could cope with them any longer. Rachel had brain scans, lumbar punctures and the doctors were now recommending Beta Blockers which she didn’t want to take. She wanted a permanent solution that would free her of pain and medication.

• The migraines were rapid in onset with a constant pressure pain and they were so violent, she’d vomit.
• She was sensitive to light and smell and always felt extreme fatigue when they occurred.
• The one relief from the symptoms was taking Sumatriptan, being alone, in darkness and sleeping which she would do for up to 24 hours with an attack, only waking for water and the bathroom.
• She felt very emotional when they happened and would burst into tears as she was unable to get on with her day to day life. She couldn’t work, drive or eat and her appetite diminished.
• The migraines could last for 3 consecutive days or she’d have one every week.
• On one occasion she went to the hospital because the pain was so severe.
• Her doctor changed her contraceptive pill and she trialled a range of different ones, but she always got a migraine during the one-week pill break.
• The migraines would also occur when she was stressed or tired.

Rachel explains how homoeopathy brought the relief she was desperately seeking.

“As someone who suffered from debilitating migraines regularly, I was desperate to find something that might give me some relief. I had tried many different options before exploring homeopathy including acupuncture, meditation and medication from my GP.

I had a feeling that some of my problems might be hormone-related but wasn’t able to fully understand what this meant or how to deal with it.

Eileen has helped me to understand what is going on, not only just in my body, but also in my life that might be contributing to my migraines.

Eileen was able to drill into what was most likely the root cause of my problem and has offered incredible support over the past 6 months throughout the sessions and through the use of homeopathic remedies.

I cannot believe that in just 6 months I am now migraine free!!”

Prolapsed Uterus, 80% Improvement In One Week

What a welcomed relief Homeopathy has been for this client who was suffering from a prolapsed uterus. For 4 years she lived with a heavy dragging sensation that was constantly there. One week after her remedy she improved by  80% and improvement continues! 

• A prolapsed uterus is quite a common and distressing condition many women have to endure.
• Not only can it be uncomfortable but it can have a huge impact imposing many restrictions on a woman’s life.
• It can occur after childbirth, post-menopause, from repetitive lifting of heavyweights, chronic constipation, chronic coughing, obesity, or as part of ageing.
• As the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments become stretched and weakened, they are no longer able to support and keep the uterus in place. This leads to protrusion of the uterus into or out of the vagina.
• Women describe the sensation like a heavy dragging down feeling or as if everything is going to fall out.
• It can lead to a range of other symptoms such as urinary or stress incontinence, urging to pass a stool, constipation, or dull backache.

M. is absolutely delighted with this transformation as the emotional burden of living with this condition was just as challenging as coping with the physical symptoms. M. now feels more confident in socialising, exercising and leaving her home without having to be vigilant for fear of leakage or incontinence.

Menopausal Relief – “I feel like the old me is reappearing.”

A lovely update to receive in my inbox from this client, aged 55, who has been struggling with debilitating hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings and emotional upset for 3 years.

• Penny felt lethargic and lacked enthusiasm which she found particularly distressing as she was a passionate woman full of humour, activity and drive.
• While she tried many over the counter products such as Sage, Black Cohosh and Soy Isoflavones, they would either help for a while or not at all. We have been working together for 3 months and in our monthly follow up Penny updated me on her progress. 

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I’ve stuck with the remedy as suggested for the menopausal problems and continue to go from strength to strength. In fact today, I feel like the old me is reappearing after a period of absence. So good to feel like me again.”

Successful Treatment for Thrush/Candida and UTI

I see so many women struggling with candida and thrush and it causes so much distress and frustration. By the time these women have come to see me, they have usually tried everything, but nothing has worked long term.

I’d like to share one client’s journey of her experience of how homeopathy successfully helped her get rid of the thrush for good. You can read her full story here but below is a short summary. 

Orla explains:

“I had a severe case of thrush (candida) and a urinary tract infection that was not clearing up and it was causing me great distress.

I had tried herbal supplements, cutting out all sugars/alcohol from my diet but the symptoms persisted and nothing improved. I went to the doctor for a swab/urine test to check for an infection, but the test results came back clear…..

This was also a stressful time in my life as I had started a new job. It was affecting my confidence as I was constantly uncomfortable and worried about my symptoms. I was afraid to eat out or go for a drink and it was impacting my social life.  I was also worried that it was something much worse as it wasn’t clearing up.

From the first appointment with Eileen, I felt at ease.  After the first homeopathic remedies prescribed, I felt an improvement and the symptoms began to change……   

Over the 5 months I saw Eileen, (approx. one visit per month), I began to worry less about eating out and having a few drinks. 

My symptoms slowly and gently improved until I turned a corner and the symptoms were totally gone. 

I fully trusted Eileen throughout the process as she explained the body’s process of healing.  The remedies that Eileen prescribes are so easy to take also.

I will definitely continue to see Eileen for my overall health and wellbeing. As well as treating the thrush and UTI, the tiredness and fatigue disappeared, my energy improved, and I was less stressed in life.”

Orla, Dublin 6

There are many possible contributors to the overgrowth of candida. Use of hormonal drugs such as the oral contraceptive pills, HRT  and progesterone creams; overuse of antibiotics; having a weakened immune system; poor nutrition, including overconsumption of sugar; being pregnant or menopausal, or having diabetes. Homoeopathy takes an individualist approach to each person’s symptoms and personal history. In doing so, it gives you a better chance of true healing and long term resolution.

“I’ve Got My Mojo Back.”

Losing your passion, motivation, and joie de vivre can make daily life miserable. Emma aged 38 shared:

“I have no get up and go. I can’t be bothered. I don’t feel in harmony with my body.  I want to go back to feeling like myself.”

Three weeks after taking her remedy the change was quite dramatic. She explained:

“The relief felt instant when I started taking the remedy. I have felt a whole lot better since then.  I feel a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Every day before was a struggle. I was so irritable, but now I don’t feel it at all, to be honest. My partner is asking am I feeling ok😂. 

I feel more energetic. I’m bouncing out of bed and I am up at the crack of dawn. Before I felt like I was dragging myself out of bed. I’m doing things that felt like a struggle before and my days are more productive.

I had no energy for myself but now I have plenty of get up and go! I’ve got my Mojo back. Thank you!”
