Alopecia / Hairfall

Alopecia refers to loss of hair from the scalp or other parts of the body, occurring due to various causes such as autoimmune reactions, hormonal imbalance, stress, nutritional deficiencies, or hereditary factors. The most common forms include Alopecia Areata (patchy hair loss due to autoimmune causes), Alopecia Totalis (complete scalp hair loss), and Alopecia Universalis (loss of all body hair). It may also occur due to thyroid disorders, anemia, prolonged illness, or use of certain drugs. Emotional distress and genetic predisposition play a significant role in its development.

Homeopathy treats alopecia by stimulating natural hair regrowth, improving scalp circulation, and correcting underlying causes like hormonal or immune imbalance. Remedies are selected based on the type of hair loss, emotional triggers, and individual constitution. Homeopathy helps control further hair fall, encourages new growth, and restores overall health without side effects. Regular treatment along with proper nutrition and stress management yields the best results.
