HAIR LOSS IN PATCHES (ALOPECIA AREATA)
·
Alopecia areata,
loss of hair in patches, is an auto immune disorder – a condition in which the
immune system of the body mistakenly attacks the hair follicles and destroys
them.
·
The patchy hair
loss disorder can also be triggered by certain factors such as
o
Hormonal or
thyroid problems,
o
Anaemia
o
Certain
conventional drugs and chemicals
o
Emotional stress.
·
It wrecks one’s
self-confidence and self-esteem, and can trigger emotional and psycho-social
distress.
·
When not treated
early or appropriately, it can progress to total loss of hair on the scalp
(alopecia areata totalis) or complete loss of hair all over the body (alopecia
areata universalis).
HOMOEOPATHY TREATMENT
·
Homoeopathy has
been proven to be clinically effective in treating alopecia areata.
·
It stimulates the
hair follicles and rejuvenates hair.
·
This is followed
by re-growth and improved density of hair in the patchy areas.
·
Homoeopathic
medicines such as Fluoric Acid, when administered under professional homoeopathic
treatment, are effective in preventing further or future loss of hair.
