Abstract

CONTEXT

Alopecia is a multifaceted condition with diverse influences. Unlike conventional treatments that mainly target symptoms, homeopathy adopts a holistic perspective, treating the whole person rather than isolated signs. Based on enduring principles and the concept of vital force, homeopathy seeks to restore the body's natural balance. The approach emphasizes individualized care, considering each person’s unique physical, emotional, and mental makeup, with the goal of achieving lasting health and well-being.

CASE SUMMARY

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition causing unpredictable, localized hair loss. A patient with multiple scalp bald patches and no family history of autoimmune disease was treated with individualized homeopathy. After detailed case-taking, indicated remedy was prescribed. The patient achieved complete hair regrowth with no recurrence throughout the treatment period. This case highlights the potential of individualized homeopathic treatment in managing Alopecia Areata.

AIM

To demonstrate the effectiveness of individualized homeopathic treatment in promoting hair regrowth and emotional well-being in Alopecia Areata, while supporting homeopathy as a safe and integrative option for hair loss.

CONCLUSION

Individualized homeopathic treatment played a key role in the successful management of Alopecia Areata in this case. The selected remedy with Intercurrent remedy, led to complete hair regrowth and sustained improvement, demonstrating homeopathy’s potential in treating autoimmune hair loss effectively.
