90% Relief In Hair Fall And Improved Hair Density Found With Homeopathy
Hair fall (alopecia) is one of the most common issues affecting both males and females these days. Hair loss can result in low self-esteem and depression in some people. A healthy human scalp has about 100,000-150,000 hairs. The average hair growth is 1/2 inch a month. Losing 60-100 strands of hair/day is considered to be normal. But, it becomes quite alarming when hair falls more than usual or when it comes out in bunches. Hair fall can be generally classified as follows.
?Androgenic alopecia (Male pattern/female pattern baldness)
?Alopecia Areata
?Telogen Effluvium
?Anagen Effluvium
?Cicatricial Alopecia
?Traction Alopecia
?Trichotillomania
?Alopecia Universalis
?Involutional Alopecia
?Tinea Capitis
?Hypotrichosis
Homeopathy is quite effective in treating alopecia areata. Let’s have a look at a case that illustrates the effectiveness of homeopathy in treating alopecia areata.
A 50-year-old male patient (PIN: 29508) came to Life Force Homeopathy in August 2016 with a hair fall issue. He was losing around 40-50 strands of hair per day, and the hair density was very less, particularly in the frontal area. He also suffered from a dandruff issue with the itching of the scalp. A thorough case taking was done covering both his physical and mental generals.
The patient had a history of stroke 7 years back and was under conventional treatment (blood thinners and preventive statins) since then. He is also suffering from hypothyroidism and was under Eltroxin 50mcg.
He was a vegetarian and had cravings for salty, sour, and sweet food items. His appetite and thirst were average. He was experiencing very profuse sweating that was generalized and offensive. He could not bear the extremely hot climate. His motion was regular and satisfactory.
He was calm and reserved and took some time to open up. He had fear of small places (caves) and fast motion. His confidence level was good, and he didn’t complain about any stress.
Dr. Shah went through his case file in detail and, after evaluating the entire case, prescribed the medicines to the patient.
Follow-Ups:
The patient started showing good results in his first follow-up. When he gave the first follow-up on 13th January 2017, the patient was better by almost 30% to 40%. There was no noticeable hair loss (particularly on the pillows). Still, he experienced hair fall while taking bath. There was still not much noticeable hair growth observed, and the density of his hair had not improved significantly He still complained of dandruff when he was unable to take regular hair wash.
By 31st August 2017, his hair fall had reduced even more, and his dandruff was also getting under control. The itching of the scalp had reduced, and the patient was very happy with the results.
By 10th November 2017, his hair loss had reduced to 10-15 strands/day. Dandruff was observed occasionally with less itching of the scalp.
By 23rd May 2018, the patient observed less hair fall while taking the bath and noticed a few hairs on his pillow as compared to earlier days. Dandruff was occasionally observed with no itching of the scalp. The patient gave feedback that his hair fall had reduced by 90%, and his hair density had also improved. Also, the patient had started observing slight hair growth.
The patient is still under the treatment for improving his hair density and is fully satisfied with the treatment he received from Dr. Shah for his hair loss and dandruff issue.
Conclusion
This case illustrates that homeopathy is highly effective in treating alopecia areata. It is well-recommended for hair loss.
The constitutional approach under homeopathic treatment helps promote recovery from the disease by addressing and correcting its root cause and ensures a permanent solution to hair fall with no side-effects.
