The body undergoes certain hormonal changes when a woman reaches her menopause. The level of the oestrogen hormone decreases after menopause. The adrenalin hormone can be easily triggered without the presence of the high levels of oestrogen in the body. This leads to the switching off of the digestive system as your body concentrates more on the adrenalin levels. With the digestive system not working at the optimum, disorders like stomach swell and indigestion occur. Arsenic album, Carbo veg and China are some of the homeopathic remedies for treating indigestion.
