Dr. Batra answers common queries on homeopathy for alopecia.
Hair loss or baldness is medically termed as alopecia. Hair fall cannot always be termed alopecia, and various factors are responsible for this condition. Some of them can be medical conditions or treatments like chemotherapy, and there are other reasons where a person can start losing hair naturally. Alternative treatment is one of the effective resorts to treating alopecia. To know whether homeopathy can help treat alopecia, we consulted Dr. Batra with a few common queries. Here are his responses:
:Can alopecia be treated with homeopathy?
Yes, certainly. This is primarily because homeopathy is, by far, the safest and most humane form of medical sciences. It aims to treat the whole person, rather than just the physical, or apparent symptoms like hair loss.
Proven results: Homeopathic remedies such as Thuja Occidentalis or Sabal Serrulata have been used for treating hair loss in homeopathy for over a 100 years. International clinical studies have proven that the two homeopathic remedies are natural dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-inhibitors, i.e., they can control hair loss caused by DHT, the primary trigger — without side-effects.
Mind-body medicine:  Homeopathy treats not only the physical complaints, but also targets the mind and gently restores mind-body equilibrium — thus, it treats patients as a ‘whole’. This makes it an excellent solution for hair problems related to the mind, such as stress-related patchy hair loss (alopecia areata), hair-pulling disorder (trichotillomania), or stress-induced massive hair shedding.
Verified by studies: A study conducted in Scotland revealed that 90 percent of patients with patchy hair loss opted for homeopathy as the first choice of treatment. Homeopathy actually helps to slow down the progression of the bald patches and fill them up with new hair. A complete recovery is possible in most cases.
A study conducted in-house at Dr.Batra’s on 1.9 lakh patients taking treatment for hair loss has shown ‘improvement’ in 94.1 percent of patients; ‘no change’ in 4.3 percent of patients; and, ‘not better in spite of treatment’ in 1.6 percent of patients. These figures are in conformity with authenticated survey results, published by reputed external sources such as A C Nielsen and American Quality Assessors — a validation no other healthcare group in the area of hair loss treatment can show, or match. You should also know about acupressure points for healthy hair growth.
2. Different homeopathic remedies for alopecia
Homeopathy prescribes a different remedy for a given illness, depending on a multitude of factors, such as personality of the individual, their state of mind and lifestyle. In other words, the illness may be the same by name, but the presentation of the illness in no two individuals is the same — so, they are given two different homeopathic remedies that suit their distinctive personality, or individuality.
3. Who can or should not use homeopathy for baldness?
Anyone can; there are no contra-indications. Did you know children can have hair loss problems too?
4. How soon can you expect to see the results?
There is every chance — in fact, a high percent chance — that your hair will re-grow, more so with timely homeopathic treatment. However, it may also fall out again. No one can predict outcomes of hair re-growth in patchy hair loss, because the course of the disorder varies from person to person. Some people develop just a few bald patches — their hair re-grows and the condition seldom recurs. A few may lose all the hair on the scalp, face and body. Yet, even in people who lose all their hair, the possibility for full re-growth remains a bright prospect. In some people, the initial hair re-growth, with medical treatment, is white — along with a slow return of their original hair colour. In others, however, the re-grown hair bears the same colour and consistency as the original hair.
What’s more, most people expect miracles. It is imperative to ‘weigh’ out treatment outcomes — in other words, understand beforehand what topical (that you apply on your head) and internal homeopathic medications can do for you. Remember, the hair you’ve lost years ago isn’t likely to start growing quickly. Instead, consider the idea of stopping excessive hair loss and, perhaps, experiencing some mild re-growth and you’d be happy with the results. Well, if your expectations are sky-high, disappointment is inevitable. Having patience will help because results take many months — not just days, or weeks. Remember, hair grows slowly, so it will take a good deal of time before you notice any visible change.
5. Side-effects of homeopathy for alopecia?
None. No side-effects have been recorded or reported so far. Homeopathic medicines are free from side-effects. Not only do homeopathic remedies reduce hair loss, but they also protect the body from harmful effects (such as decreased libido, ejaculation problems) that are common with conventional drugs used for hair loss.
