Homeopathy Treatment For Alopecia Areata & Hair Fall
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune skin disease resulting in the loss of hair from the scalp and elsewhere on the body. The person's own immune system attacks the hair follicles, resulting in round, smooth bald patches on the scalp. A person with a family history of autoimmune diseases is prone to develop this condition.
The novel approach of suppressing the autoimmune response with local cortisone (steroid) may work temporarily and is limited to the patch only. Relapses are common and the course still remains unpredictable. It has no long-term advantages and does not alter the nature of the disease.
Why Homeopathy from HomeoConsult R&D?
Homeopathic treatment for hair fall, on the other hand, addresses the defective immune response, family history or genetic predisposition, nature and intensity of the disease as well as systemic, emotional and numerous other factors commonly affecting this condition.
It does not consider Alopecia as an external disorder. On reasoning you will appreciate that this condition is an outward manifestation of internal disarray. Treating it locally will usually prove futile and temporary.
Cases studies at HRD: (25 years of clinical experience)
On completing the Homeopathic course individuals affected for the first-time or those who tried local cortisone treatment benefited by:
- Reappearance of lost hair in the Alopecia patches
- Reduction in the number of relapsing episodes
- Better long term management without the use of steroids
- Safe for children as the treatment has no adverse systemic effects
Statistics (10 cases in each category):
- Over 90% of Alopecia Areata in spots (scalp, beard or body) benefited
- Over 65 % of the Alopecia Totalis (complete scalp hair loss) benefited
- Over 60 % of the Alopecia Universalis (complete body hair loss) benefited
- Over 80% of individuals experienced a reduction in relapsing episodes
(Note: Extent and nature of benefits of treatment varies among individuals and has been gathered from patients themselves & past clinical records)
Though we consider Alopecia Areata a stubborn and difficult condition to treat, individuals have a better long term prognosis on completion of Homeopathic treatment. Opting for homeopathic medicines to cure hair loss will results in having a long term relief.
What is Alopecia areata
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune skin disease resulting in the loss of hair from the scalp and elsewhere on the body. The person's own immune system attacks the hair follicles, resulting in round, smooth bald patches on the scalp. This condition can progress to complete scalp hair loss (alopecia totalis) and/or complete body hair loss (alopecia universalis). Over 5 million people in the United States suffer from this condition.
Alopecia Areata occurs in males and females of all ages and races. Its unexpected onset, recurrent episodes, and erratic course have a devastating effect on the lives of those affected.
Causes
Research indicates that Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s own hair follicles are attacked. There is some evidence that the following factors play a role is initiating this autoimmune response:
- Triggers such as viral infections
- Some form of internal or systemic dysfunction
- Genetic markers or predisposition: 5% of individuals with Alopecia Areata have someone in the family suffering from it too. Often affects those whose family members have asthma, allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, vitiligo and other autoimmune related conditions.
