Allopathy Vs. Homeopathy: Which Is The Best Hair Fall Treatment?
Hair loss is more than a cosmetic issue and needs expert attention. It can also affect your appearance and self-esteem. While most of us tend to look for instant hair fall solutions, a solution that may work for one may not always work for the other. This is because hair loss causes differ from person to person. With over 40 different types of hair loss and over 100 medical reasons, it can be difficult to find the right hair treatment.If you notice an unusual amount of hair fall, it is best to consult a homeopathic expert at an early stage.
Understanding the underlying reason for your hair loss can help you find a suitable hair treatment. Here are some of the common reasons for hair loss:
- Genetics
- Nutritional deficiency
- Hormonal imbalance
- Stress
- Hairstyling
- Medical conditions or certain medications.
At times, hair problems are inevitable and cannot be controlled. However, what you can do is choose the right hair treatment to help control or slow down the process of hair loss. To identify the cause of hair loss, hair experts may make the diagnosis based on the symptoms or appearance of the hair. To make sure of the diagnosis, the doctor may also suggest a scalp biopsy or blood tests.
The good news is, in most cases hair loss is a gradual process and occurs in stages. The earlier you notice the signs, the better the steps you can take to control hair loss.
Conventional Hair Loss Treatments:
Conventional treatment or Allopathy is a modern scientific system of medicine. It helps to treat or suppress the process of illnesses or conditions. The most commonly used drugs to control hair loss are Minoxidil (Rogaine) and Finasteride (Propecia). Minoxidil is approved for both men and women while Finasteride is only used for male adults. Minoxidil or Finasteride are applied to the scalp skin.
Products made with minoxidil may help slow the rate of hair fall but to see any result, it can take six months or more of treatment. Moreover, to retain the benefits, you will have to use these medicines constantly. Otherwise, once you stop using them the hair loss may return within a few months. Also, Minoxidil may only work on reducing hair fall and may not have any effect on other types of hair loss such as telogen effluvium or receding hairlines.
Possible side-effects
- Minoxidil can cause side effects such as scalp irritation, acne or unwanted hair growth on the face and hands
- Finasteride may cause side effects such as diminished sex drive, increased risk of prostate cancer and depression
Homeopathic Hair Loss Treatment
While most hair fall control treatments have side-effects, homeopathy on the other hand offers a more gentle and natural solution. Homeopathic treatments for hair loss are proven to be safe, effective and long-lasting. A study published in BioMed Central suggests that the homeopathic remedy Thuja helps promote hair growth.It was observed that the extract of Thuja Orientalis promoted an active growing phase in the resting phase of the hair follicle. For lasting results, homeopathy addresses the root cause of hair loss without any side-effects. Homeopathic hair treatments not only help reduce hair loss but also help promote hair growth.
