Alopecia, or hair loss, is a condition that is not well understood. Sometimes the hair will grow back and other times it is a permanent loss. There are different types which have different alopecia treatment plans. Losing hair in one spot is called monolocularis. Losing hair all over the body is called universalis and totalis is when all the hair on the head falls out.
There are some theories as to why this occurs that include autoimmune problems where the body treats the hair follicles as foreign objects and stops or suppresses growth. Psychosomatic or genetic factors could be involved. Physical injuries from burns like scars, x-rays, fungal and bacterial infections on the scalp could be the reason. An over-sensitivity to testosterone in men is sometimes the cause. Pulling hair back on the scalp can cause this as well as going through chemotherapy.
A bald spot on the scalp is usually the first sign of alopecia. It is a well-defined area and the skin is smooth and soft with no hair at all growing. Other patches appear after 2 to 6 weeks and the hair may re-grow within a 6 month window of time.
To diagnose this disease symptoms are watched such as loss of hair in patches, thinning of hair and gently pulling the hair and seeing how easily it comes out. Treatment is not too encouraging but injections of hydrocortisone provide good results. This treatment can produce hair growth in 2 to 4 weeks. System corticosteroids promote growth but the hair falls out after the treatment is stopped.
Imbalances in the system can cause the body to shed hair. This symptom is the immune system protecting itself. Hair loss can be because of hormone imbalance, auto-immune disorder, poor blood circulation, heredity, infections of the scalp or nutritional deficiencies. Homeopathic and Auyurvedic dietary and herbal supplements can help.
Natural remedies can balance hormones, electrolytes and improve blood circulation. Essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids are replenished. To promote healthy hair follicles cell regeneration is promoted. Teaching the immune system to protect the hair follicles instead of rejecting them enables one to re-grow their hair.
Using an integrative approach to healing, the body can be healed by balancing mental, emotional and physical elements. Using modern biotechnology, quantum physics, allopathic medicine and ancient medicinal practices such as Chinese medicine, homeopathy and Ayurveda the elements in the body are balanced. Hormone functions are restored, enzymes are unblocked and homeostasis is experienced. The disease patterns can be altered mentally and emotionally.
By incorporating homeopathic remedies into one’s alopecia treatment plan imbalances in the body that have caused the hair loss can be corrected and prevented from occurring again. Issues that can cause hair loss are hormonal imbalances, poor circulation, nutritional deficiencies and heredity. Taking good care of the body will restore it to optimal functioning, people who have used these remedies have reported hair growth in as little as 4 to 6 weeks.
