• Do you lose hair in patches? Are you noticing
  excessive hair fall on your pillow or in the
  shower? Are you experiencing hair loss from your
  beard?
• Chances are high that you may be experiencing a
  hair loss condition called Alopecia Areata. It is
  one of the common types of hair loss, where hair
  falls out in patches. One may even lose all hair
  from the scalp (alopecia totalis) or from the
  body (alopecia universalis). The patches can
  appear suddenly, or in a relatively short span of
  time. In many cases, patchy hair loss is first
  noticed by the hairdresser till then it often
  goes unnoticed.

• Due to the strange appearance of alopecia areata
  symptoms, it often goes undiagnosed and hence the
  treatment becomes difficult.

• However, the good news is that this condition
  responds well to treatment, especially during the
  early stages.
• At times, the bald patches get filled with new
  hair on its own. But its not necessary that the
  refilled patch means that you are out of this
  problem. When one patch has refilled at the
  earlier spot, there could be appearance of a new
  patch simultaneously. Therefore, the aim of
  treatment of this hair disorder is to stop the
  appearance of new patches, re-growth of hair in
  the existing patches, and preventing the
  recurrence of the alopecia areata symptoms.

Alopecia Areata Treatments

• The most common conventional treatment for
  Alopecia Areata is local steroidal injections
  with or without oral steroids. It has known
  side-effects when used on a long-term basis.
  Chances of recurrence are almost 50 percent with
  conventional methods of treatment for alopecia.
• Homeopathy is the safest way to treat alopecia
  areata. It has a good clinical record in the
  treatment of alopecia areata. One of the key
  reasons why it works effectively is that it
  targets and corrects the altered immune function
  of the individual and brings it back to normalcy,
  over a period of time. Thus, the results are
  long-lasting, and not superficial.

• A study conducted in Scotland revealed that 90
  of patients with patchy hair loss opted for
  homeopathy as their first choice of treatment.
  Alopecia treatment in homeopathy actually helps
  to slow down the progression of bald patches and
  fills them up with new hair. Not only do
  homeopathic remedies reduce hair loss, but they
  also protect the body from harmful effects, which
  are common with conventional drugs used for hair
  loss (like permanent scarring on the scalp).

• If alopecia treatment in homeopathy is considered
  as a treatment option in the early stage of the
  disease, then the overall control of the disease
  in future is much better. The duration of
  treatment in homeopathy will depend on the cause
  of alopecia as well as the severity of the
  condition. Large and multiple patches obviously
  take a long time to be treated as compared to
  smaller and fewer patches.
• Homeopathic medicines for alopecia also help to
  deal with stress more effectively. They are
  absolutely free from side-effects.
