Welcome to Dr. Vaknalli’s alternative treatment for coping with Menopause and symptoms associated with it. As one approaches Menopause the decision to cope with it using HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) or by more natural means usually arises.

This website outlines some of the ways Homeopathy can help you manage your symptoms naturally, without any side effects.
