The only Women's International Pharmacy I can find is this one:
http://www.womensinternational.com/about.html
which claims to offer bio-identical hormone replacement, not
homeopathics. Some people mix up homeopathy and herbal/natural
medicine.

Looking at this chart:
http://www.womensinternational.com/pdf/womens_chart.pdf
E1 = estrone, E2=estradiol, E3=estriol

Pending further details, on the information you've given, I'd guess
that this person is stuffing this woman full of oestrogen. Thank
goodness she called you now before her supply was completely gone.
