Introduction:
climacteric is a period of transition between the reproductive and non-reproductive stage of women that causes the appearance of a range of symptoms due to hormonal changes that interfere with their quality of life and interpersonal relationships.
Objective:

Methods:

A floral elixir with a typological flower was prescribed and transpersonal formula and auriculotherapy and psychological evaluation were applied.
Results:

Conclusions:
