Homoeopathic medicine helped my scalp look full of hair…
I am 18year old girl. My hairloss is really extreme since a year. I don’t even run my hands through my hair because so much comes out. My head has some white flaky stuff on the ends of it with intolerable itching. I went to a famous derma and was diagnosed as suffering from Scalp Psoriasis. I was given conventional medicine with a medicated shampoo for my flaking scalp. There was not much improvement and I had researched a lot on the side-effects of conventional treatment so I seeked help from a homoeopathic doctor. After a detailed case history, I was advised to check my blood sugar and thyroid hormones because my mom also suffered from both. The blood tests were normal. With homoeopathic medicines and proper diet routines, slowly and steadily my condition improved. This winter was very comfortable for me as my scalp had no snowfall. My hairfall was now normal and my scalp looked full.

The next morning gently wash off the oil with a mild, natural shampoo. The scales will come off, leaving you feeling a whole lot lighter. They will also help reduce itching of the scalp. Cutting hair short helps to manage flaking and hairfall more effectively but it may not be pleasant for everyone. Don’t use fine combs as they can trigger flaking of scalp. Include flaxseeds in your daily diet as they reduce flaking. Avoid red meat and sea foods as they increase flaking and inflammation.
