Individualized homoeopathic approach in Alopecia Areata: An evidence-based case report
Author(s): Dr. Sreevidhya JS
Abstract: Alopecia areata, often known as spot baldness, is an autoimmune condition characterized by hair loss in one or more areas of the body. It usually causes a few coin-sized bald spots on the scalp. Psychological stress or illness are risk factors for the development of alopecia areata.
The case presented here is of a 14-year-old girl who had complained of patchy hair loss for 9 months and was treated with symptomatic homoeopathic medicine with a 6-month follow-up.
Homoeopathic treatment for alopecia areata works by balancing the hyperactive immune system that is harming the hair follicles. Homeopathic medications help with hair restoration in bald patches.
