Folliculinum is one of the most frequently prescribed remedies in my practice.
Often referred to as the “hormonal Carcinosin,” it’s a remedy I consider when I see hormone imbalances, especially when a woman feels disconnected from herself or out of sync with her natural rhythm.
Made from Oestrone, a form of estrogen, which is a hormone produced primarily by the ovaries, Folliculinum has a unique affinity for the uterus and is known to address hormone imbalances. It nurtures women’s health on a profound level, helping to restore balance – not just physically but emotionally and mentally too.
Themes of Folliculinum
Before I dive into the various ways Folliculinum can support healing, I want to emphasise that this information is for educational purposes only and highlights the potential healing scope. Just because you see certain symptoms doesn’t mean you should self-prescribe this remedy. Every individual’s health situation is unique, and it’s recommended to work with a qualified homeopath.
I consider Folliculinum when a woman is struggling with her sense of identity, feeling lost, or overwhelmed by external pressures. Here are some of the key situations where this remedy comes to mind:
- Hormonal Imbalances: When her hormones are out of balance and she feels disconnected from her natural rhythm. It’s like her body and mind aren’t in sync anymore. Women will often say they noticed this began after taking hormonal treatments like the contraceptive pill, fertility drugs, or following hormone therapy.
- Losing a Sense of Self/Forgetting of Self: When a woman feels she’s lost her way – perhaps she’s living according to someone else’s expectations, or making decisions based on what others want instead of what feels right for her. This sense of losing her internal compass is a big indicator for Folliculinum.
- Feeling Controlled: Whether the control comes from a domineering parent, a spouse, or societal expectations, she may feel like she’s trapped in someone else’s life, living out their expectations. Folliculinum can help restore a woman’s inner strength and independence.
- Overwhelmed & Sacrificing Herself: Many women come to me exhausted, feeling like they’ve sacrificed their own needs to please others. They struggle to say no, often acting as the rescuer in their relationships and feeling completely drained. When this resonates, I think of Folliculinum.
When I’ll consider prescribing Folliculinum
Folliculinum can be incredibly helpful in many cases where hormonal balance is at the root of the issue. Here are some specific scenarios and health challenges where I often prescribe this remedy:
- Fertility Issues: Whether struggling to conceive, unexplained infertility, experiencing miscarriages or feeling disconnected from their reproductive health, I consider Folliculinum.
- Hormone imbalances: Especially after using hormonal treatments like the contraceptive pill, morning-after pill, HRT, or hormone therapy, this remedy can help the body find its balance again.
- Menstrual & Menopause symptoms: Folliculinum helps with various menstrual irregularities, from absent or irregular periods to painful, heavy cycles. It’s also beneficial during menopause, especially for hot flushes, night sweats, and emotional upheavals.
- Candida Overgrowth: When recurring candida is connected to hormonal imbalances, Folliculinum can be very effective.
- History of Abuse: Women who have a history of abuse and feel disconnected from their bodies may find healing with Folliculinum. It helps them reclaim their sense of self and restore balance on multiple levels.
- Feeling Out of Sync: Whether it’s from stress, lifestyle, or external pressures, Folliculinum helps women who feel disconnected from their natural rhythms, helping them to reconnect with their intuition and true selves.

Menstrual and Menopausal Symptoms

- Irregular or Absent Periods: When the cycle is too long, too short, or missing altogether.
- Painful Periods: Especially if the pain is centered in the ovaries.
- Weight Gain & Cravings: Where women experience weight gain (up to 7lbs) and compulsive eating, particularly before periods.

Rebalancing the Body, Mind, and Soul
Folliculinum is about more than just physical symptoms. It helps women rebalance on every level—physically, hormonally, emotionally, and mentally. Here’s how it can support this transformation:
- Reconnecting with Your Natural Rhythm: Helps women tune back into their body’s natural rhythm and reconnect with their true sense of self.
- Prioritising Well-being: It encourages women to listen to their intuition and prioritise their own well-being, rather than putting others’ needs first.
- Restoring Confidence & Inner Strength: It’s about giving yourself permission to say no to things that don’t serve you and yes to things that bring you joy. Folliculinum helps women regain that inner strength and empowerment.
- Room for Creation & Self-Empowerment: This remedy supports the space for creativity and self-empowerment, allowing women to flourish in their unique way.
