Hair Fall in Men & Homeopathy treatment

When you start losing a lot of hair on your scalp, it can be a sign of alopecia. Losing 50 to 100 strands of hair in a day is normal. It is a part of our hair growth cycle. Your hair growth cycle has 3 phases that include the Anagen phase, where hair actively grows from the roots anywhere between 18 to 30 inches. Then comes the Catagen phase, where the strands detach themselves from the blood supply. The telogen phase (resting phase), where the hair shafts rest in the roots.

Androgenic alopecia is also known as Male Pattern Baldness; it is a common type of hair fall in men. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, 80% of hair fall cases in men are due to a family history. In male-pattern baldness, you start losing hair on the crown and temples in the form of an ‘M’ or get a single bald patch.

This hair loss condition may not be life-threatening but can affect the physical and emotional state of the person suffering. But, as they say, every problem comes with a solution!

Here are six ways to help reduce hair fall problems:

• Eat protein-rich food:

  Eat fish, soy, lean meat, and other protein-rich food to help with hair growth and strength.

   

• Hair wash:

  With the use of a natural shampoo, wash your hair and scalp to avoid the risk of infections and dandruff that can lead to hair fall.

   

• Scalp massage:

  People experiencing hair fall should massage their scalp with oil to stimulate hair follicles and keep them active.

   

• Onion juice:

  It is a topical treatment, that results in hair growth caused byalopecia areata.

   

• Reduce stress levels:

  Exercise, music, meditation, and yoga can help relieve stress.

   

• Avoid smoking:

  It is advisable to quit smoking as soon as possible to reduce the risk of hair fall.

Along with these preventive measures, you can also opt for conventional or homeopathic treatments for male pattern baldness. The traditional treatment for androgenic alopecia includes oral medications, such as Minoxidil and Finasteride, prescribed to treat hair loss. These drugs can have their own set of side effects like itching, dryness, flaking, burning, and irritation on the scalp.

Hair transplant is another surgical treatment where hair is extracted from the back of your scalp and inserted into the parts witnessing hair loss. The side effects commonly experienced with this treatment include bleeding post-surgery, infection, scars, swelling of the scalp, and bruises under the eye. On the other hand, homeopathic treatment gives natural, safe, non-invasive, and side-effect-free treatment solutions.
