Noticing an uncontrollable urge to pull out hair can be distressing. Trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder) is not a common habit that you pick up. It is a mental health condition that affects both emotional well-being and hair health. Studies show that trichotillomania disorder affects approximately 1 in 50 people and can start as early as childhood. If left untreated, it can lead to visible hair loss, social anxiety, and low self-esteem. In some cases, people affected by this disorder may ingest hair.

Trichotillomania, from the Greek “Tricho” (hair), “till” (pull), and “mania” (urge), is the compulsive need to pull out one's hair. It often starts as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, or past trauma like bullying. While it may bring brief relief, it is often followed by guilt or frustration, leading to hair loss and low self-esteem
If this feels familiar, know that your feelings are valid. You're not “just doing it”—there's always a reason beneath the surface
Repeated urge to pull hair from the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, or other body parts.
Visible hair loss or bald patches due to excessive pulling.
Feelings of relief or satisfaction after pulling out hair.
Increased stress, anxiety, or guilt about hair pulling.
Unlike conventional treatments that rely on anti-depressants or behavioural therapy, homeopathy treats the root cause of trichotillomania disorder by balancing emotions, stress response, and nervous system health.
Our homeopathic trichotillomania treatment follows a multi-step approach for effective and long-term recovery:
Step 1: Hair & Scalp Analysis
Using video microscopy, we assess hair loss patterns and scalp health to differentiate trichotillomania from conditions like alopecia. Many cases are often misdiagnosed, making this step crucial
Step 2: Emotional & Stress Evaluation
Since trichotillomania is linked to emotions, we identify stress, anxiety, and triggers like fear or guilt. Understanding these helps in managing impulses and creating a holistic treatment plan.
Step 3: Personalised Homeopathic Medicine for Trichotillomania
Homeopathic remedies are tailored to both mental and physical symptoms, helping restore emotional balance while supporting hair regrowth naturally
Step 4: Hair & Scalp Care Guidance

Homeopathy focuses on addressing the root cause of Trichotillomania rather than just managing the symptoms. It helps in regulating emotional triggers, reduces anxiety, and strengthens impulse control. While treatment success varies from individual to individual, homeopathy offers long-term improvement by restoring the emotional balance and reducing the urge to pull hair.
Homeopathic medicines are natural, gentle, and free from side effects. Unlike conventional treatments, which may cause dependency or drowsiness, homeopathy works with the body’s healing process to bring about lasting improvements without any harmful effects. However, taking medicines under expert guidance is essential for the best results.
The response to homeopathic treatment varies based on individual factors such as the severity of the condition, emotional triggers, and overall health.
