Effective Alopecia Homeopathy Treatment
(AA) is an autoimmune condition that attacks the hair follicles, causing non-scarring hair loss in single or multiple areas of the scalp. The term ‘alopecia’ is derived from a Latin word. It means baldness. And the term ‘areata’ denotes patchy hair loss which is a typical symptom of AA. It occurs in people of all ages and affects 1-2% of the human population. (Source: IJRH)
Causes of alopecia areata
-
Genetic factors:
Having a family history of AA or other autoimmune disorders can increase the risk of getting AA.
-
Chemicals:
Regular and long-term use of products like shampoos and serums that are sulfur-based can damage the hair follicles. This, in turn, provokes hair fall and later alopecia if not controlled in time.
-
Hormonal factors:
Alopecia is linked with certain hormonal fluctuations. Alopecia occurs during various stages of life where the hormones have an active role to play. Alopecia areata is triggered during puberty, menopause and after delivery.
-
Associated diseases:
Individuals suffering from autoimmune skin diseases like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis (eczema) and lichen planus are prone to develop alopecia areata. For instance, a person with scalp psoriasis has itchy skin which leads to hair loss. This, in turn, causes bald patches in the affected area. When baldness occurs because of these underlying conditions, it is called as scarred alopecia.
Homeopathic treatment for alopecia areata
Homeopathic treatment for alopecia areata offers long-term relief. It reduces the chances of relapse significantly in promptly detected cases of alopecia. To test the efficacy of homeopathic medicine for alopecia areata, a group of 60 people who had chronic conditions including alopecia Universalis was monitored. At the end of the study, 88.33% of them experienced over 50% improvement in their condition. (Source: Complementary Therapies in Medicine)
The duration of homeopathic treatment depends on the type of alopecia and duration of alopecia. Approximately four months to two years may be required depending on the size and the number of bald spots, underlying causative factors, and previous treatment.
