Testimonial

As a young adult my periods began to steadily become more painful until I got to the point where I was taking high doses of strong pain medication in order to function for the first few days of my period. If I did not medicate as soon as my period started it would take a lot of time to get the pain to a tolerable level. Sometimes I would still have to have a second pain medication on top of the one I was taking. Without the medication not only did I have extreme pain but nausea, so life during my period was pretty miserable. My Mum suggested I try homeopathy and with nothing to lose I agreed to see Petra. Petra was easy to talk to during the intial interviews, she asked a range of questions before discussing treatment options with me. Two months into the treatment I began to notice significant improvement and I was able to take less and less pain medication. By the forth month I only needed panadol or ibuprofen with my period and the nausea had also gone. I stayed on the treatment for around six months and now a year after finishing my treatment I still only require minor pain medication occasionally with my period. It is amazing to not feel so sick and miserable for a week once a month and I often recommend homeopathy to friends who complain about their cycles. Petra was extremely helpful and she kept in touch despite me living in a different city during my treatment to make sure it was the best possible approach. I would highly recommend Petra and homeopathy to anyone who suffers from painful periods. Ruth, 27
