Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, causing sudden and unpredictable hair loss in small, round patches. It can affect the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and even body hair.

Causes of Alopecia Areata

• Autoimmune Dysfunction – The immune system attacks hair follicles.

• Genetics – Family history may increase the risk.

• Stress & Anxiety – Emotional distress can trigger or worsen the condition.

• Nutritional Deficiencies – Lack of essential nutrients like biotin, iron, and vitamin D.

• Underlying Health Conditions – Thyroid disorders, diabetes, and other immune-related conditions.

Symptoms of Alopecia Areata

• Sudden, patchy hair loss on the scalp or body.

• Smooth, bald patches without redness or scarring.

• Tingling or itching before hair loss.

• Regrowth may occur but could be white or thinner initially.

• In some cases, total scalp hair loss (Alopecia Totalis) or complete body hair loss (Alopecia Universalis) may occur.

Homeopathic Approach to Alopecia Areata

Homeopathy stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanism to address the root cause. Common remedies include:

• Phosphorus – For rapid hair fall with dandruff and sensitivity.

• Fluoricum Acidum – For hair loss with brittle hair and patchy baldness.

• Silicea – For weak hair prone to breakage and slow regrowth.

• Lycopodium – Effective for premature baldness and thinning hair.

Naturopathy & Lifestyle Modifications

• Dietary Support: Increase iron, zinc, vitamin D, and protein intake.

• Scalp Care: Use essential oils like rosemary, castor, and coconut oil for scalp nourishment.

• Stress Management: Yoga, meditation, and relaxation techniques to balance immune response.

• Herbal Therapy: Aloe vera, amla, and bhringraj oil for promoting hair regrowth.
