Homeopathy’s Gentle Approach to Hair Loss

New Delhi :  Hair loss is a developing concern in modern society, with an increased prevalence of 60 percent and a prevalence of nearly 50 percent in males according to a 2018 study published in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR). According to a 2007 study, the prevalence of hair loss among females increases with age, from approximately 12% among women aged 20 to 29 to over 50% among women aged 80 and older.

In light of the escalating prevalence of hair loss issues such as alopecia, pattern baldness, etc., it is essential to seek natural, non-harmful remedies for hair loss. Homoeopathy is a natural, safe, and side-effect-free system of medicine that offers significant improvement in hair problems due to its holistic approach, which takes into account the physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. According to a study by the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), Thuja, an effective homoeopathic treatment, promotes hair growth and stimulates latent hair follicles to enter the growth phase of the hair cycle.

Recognising Hair Loss

Common causes of hair loss include protracted stress, hormonal fluctuations, genetic predisposition, medications, and skin conditions such as scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and scalp fungal infections, among others. In addition, nutritional deficiencies in Iron, Zinc, Vitamin D, Vitamin B, and Biotin can cause hair loss. Routine hair care, such as regular shampooing and conditioning, as well as avoiding certain lifestyle changes, such as smoking, alcohol, and excessive tension, can go a long way towards preventing hair loss.
