Hormonal imbalances are something I see so many women struggling with—whether it’s irregular cycles, painful periods, or challenges with fertility. It’s an area of health that often gets overlooked until something feels completely out of sync.
Now, there are plenty of amazing peeps doing incredible work here in the world to helping this specific niche. I am not here to claim fame for this but time in the clinic has allowed me to observe some themes, expressions and factors in hormone health in both women and men.
Today however, I discuss one remedy that over the years has consistently stood out in its ability to support women’s cycles and hormonal health: Folliculinum.
Let me tell you a little about why I use Folliculinum in my practice and how it has become a cornerstone for many women on their journey to hormonal balance and fertility.
What is Folliculinum?
Folliculinum is a homeopathic remedy derived from oestrogen, which is the estradiol precursor. This remedy was proved clinically in detail by Madame De Mattos in the 1950s. Donald Foubister followed Madamme De Mattos, examining the remedy. So I would hit up these original resources when looking for this remedy.
This remedy can serve to aid women “switch back on” their cycles, especially after years of hormonal contraception, like the pill and other contraceptives.
It works by supporting the oestrogen surge that leads up to ovulation, which is vital for stimulating ovulation, producing healthy cervical mucus, and regulating the menstrual cycle. Without that all-important, stretchy, mid-cycle cervical mucus, sperm simply can’t reach the egg, making conception more challenging.

How I Use Folliculinum in Practice
When I recommend Folliculinum, I tailor it to the unique needs of each woman. Many women come to me with irregular or absent cycles, hormonal migraines, spotting, or mood swings that make the second half of their cycle feel like a rollercoaster ride. Others are navigating PMT, PCOS, endometriosis, or fertility challenges.
For most, I suggest taking a dose of Folliculinum mid-cycle (days 10–14) to support oestrogen production and ovulation.
There are 4 main potencies I use but can go in with clothes depending on what I am doing
Folliculinum 3X or 4C stimulates and can bring on menstruation - so we use this in amenorrhea and insufficient menstruation
Folliculinum 7C is a balancer and regulates the cycle
Folliculinum 9C is a menstrual cycle retardant, where there are periods come too often
We will always be working with Folliculinum concurrently with constitutional prescribing too.
Why It Works
Hormones in our body all work together, they are akin to our barometer of what is imbalance and can offer a beautiful guide to remind us what is needed at any given time.
I often link our cycles in both woman (monthly) and men (daily) to our bodies magical ability to communicate with us. Folliculinum adds to the alignment of these energies and doesn’t force anything into equilibrium, it more works with your body’s natural rhythms to re-establish that harmony.
It’s also an incredibly versatile remedy. Whether you’re dealing with long cycles, missed periods, or hormonal migraines, Folliculinum can be used in different potencies to address the specific imbalance. And it’s not just about fertility—this remedy can help reduce PMT symptoms, improve mood, and even alleviate some of the discomforts that come with endometriosis.

Real Results
One study showed a 50% reduction in PMT symptoms after six months of taking Folliculinum. In my practice, I’ve seen cycles that were once 40+ days drop to a regular 26–30 days. I’ve witnessed cervical mucus return after being absent for years and libido increase in ways women didn’t think was possible anymore.
These aren’t just physical changes—they’re life-changing. When your body feels more predictable and balanced, it gives you the confidence to embrace life more fully.
Why I Love Folliculinum
For me, Folliculinum is about empowerment. It’s about helping women reconnect with their bodies in a way that feels supportive and aligned. Hormonal health doesn’t have to mean suppressing symptoms with medications; it can mean working with remedies like Folliculinum to restore balance naturally.
There are many tools to assist you on your ‘rebalancing journey’. Good homeopathic constitutional care is a great start and we are so much more empowered to take health into our own hands.
Remember that all symptoms serve to teach us and remind us of our own ability to heal. I love that homeopathics can support this foundation and aim to empower not make you rely on external resources.
Your body has an incredible ability to heal and realign itself—it sometimes just needs the right nudge. Folliculinum is one of those nudges, and I’d be honoured to walk this path with you.
Other remedies we use in homeopathy related to hormones are:
Oophorinum
Oestrogen
Progesterone
FSH Hormone
Caulopyllinum
Sepia
Pulsatilla
Medhorrinum
Poly Contraceptive release
Lachesis
And many more
You can take matters into your own hands further through Hair tissue mineral analysis which tells you how the body have been processing, what could be playing a role in the hormone imbalance, how your thyroid and adrenals are running etc etc
Or Go to Iscreen and get your bloods taken for the ‘Woman's Wellness Test’ where your bloods will guide you on what is low or working insufficiently in the body.
Remember, each test is different and yields different information. Any information is good information though through the eyes of either test!
Warmest,
