Alopecia Areata

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disorder in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, leading to sudden, patchy hair loss on the scalp or other parts of the body. The condition can affect people of all ages and both genders. The exact cause is unknown, but it is often linked with genetic predisposition, emotional stress, thyroid dysfunction, or other autoimmune diseases. Hair usually falls in smooth, round patches, and regrowth may occur spontaneously or after treatment, though relapses are common.

Homeopathy offers a safe, holistic approach to Alopecia Areata by addressing internal immune imbalance and promoting natural hair regrowth. Remedies are selected based on the individual’s emotional state, triggering factors, and general constitution rather than the disease name alone. Homeopathic medicines help stimulate hair follicles, reduce autoimmune response, and prevent recurrence. Regular treatment can restore healthy hair growth and improve overall vitality.
