Resumo

PADILLA DOCAL, Bárbara; JAY MENGANA, Luz María; GARCIA, Elena Noris  e  DORTA CONTRERAS, Alberto Juan. Floral therapy and climacteric. Rev Cubana Plant Med [online]. 2006, vol.11, n.3-4. ISSN 1028-4796.

A descriptive, linear, and prospective study was conducted in 50 patients presenting with climacteric symptoms seen at the Floral Therapy Office to assess the effect of this therapy in the treatment of their symptoms. All the patients were surveyed and treatment was indicated. They were examined again at the end of the treatment to assess the patients' evolution. Psychological symptoms, depression, anxiety, and nervousness were found in the studied sample. On the other hand, the neurovegetative syndromes that are the most unpleasant for patients showed a higher percentage of improvement compared with the rest of the symptoms. Excepting skin dryness that had only 50 % of improvement, the rest of the symptoms responded positively to floral therapy.

Palavras-chave : Climacteric; hot flash; acroparesthesia; myalgia; arthralgia; lumbago; palpitation.
