Abstract

During the climacteric and menopause, due to hormonal changes, women may present symptoms affecting life quality and interpersonal relations. Homeopathy could be used as an alternative or complementary therapy in the management of those symptoms, providing several benefits, scarce secondary effects, saving resources and opening a new research field.  There is not enough bibliography on this topic and it is dispersed, making it difficult for the professional to consult it when it is necessary.  A bibliographic review was carried out with the objective of identifying and describing the main homeopathic medicinal products that could be used to treat the symptoms during the climacteric and menopause. The articles were identified mainly through an automated search in Scielo, PubMed and EBSCO databases, in the period from January 2017 and May 2018. Those books and articles considered as referents in the topic because of their transcendence were reviewed. 26 bibliographic references were chosen because they complied with the objective of this research. 20 homeopathic medicinal products capable of being used in the treatment of the climacteric and menopause symptoms were identified and described, being therefore a useful consultation source.
