Hair Loss
May 31, 2017

Let us see who qualifies for this hair loss exam? We all lose 50-100 strands, everyday. Hair loss, which is more than ‘normal’, disturbs us so much that we all try all kinds of home remedies to avoid seeing a doctor. What is critical is to know where to draw the line and head straight for a consultation with a professional trichologist.

 

Tick the Correct Answer

  • Do you lose more than 50-60 hair strands a day?
  • Yes
  • No

 

  • Is your scalp visible in the area where you have lost hair?
  • Yes
  • No

 

  • Do you feel you now have less hair on your head than you had last year?
  • Yes
  • No

 

  • Hair your hairline receded or you feel that your hair is less dense than before?
  • Yes
  • No

 

  • Do you see a lot of hair on the pillow, floor, bathroom sink or drain, in the comb, etc?
  • Yes
  • No

 

  • Do you have a family history of hair loss (parents, siblings, paternal or maternal grandparents, uncles or anyone in the immediate family)?
  • Yes
  • No

 

  • Do you suffer from any hormonal problems (thyroid disorders, ovarian cysts, irregular periods, menopause), or have you recently delivered?
  • Yes
  • No

 

  • Does your scalp itch or flake or gets greasy?
  • Yes
  • No

 

  • Have you subjected your hair to chemical procedures such as hair colouring, bleaching, perming and straightening? Do you use hair products such as hair gels, mousse, hair sprays?
  • Yes
  • No

 

  • Does your hair problems affect your self-confidence/ makes you feel insecure about your appearance or makes you older and less attractive?
  • Yes
  • No

 

Now count the number of ‘Yes’ you have ticked. If you have answered 4 or more questions with a ‘Yes’, it is imperative for you to consult a trichologist for professional advice on your hair problems and suitable treatment. Do not ignore your hair problems as they may reach to a point of no return.

 

Consult your homoeopathic doctor if you are going through a tough time with your hair. Homoeopathic treatment is the best for any scalp or hair problems.

Homeopathy is free from any side-effects. Not only do homoeopathic medicines reduce hairloss but they also protect the body from harmful side-effects (such as decreased libido, ejaculation problems) that are common with conventional drugs.

Homoeopathic remedies such as Thuja Occidentalis or Sabal Serrulata have been used for treating hairloss in homoeopathy since 100 years. International clinical studies have proven that the two homoeopathic remedies cited natural DHT-inhibitor (hormone responsible for causing thinning of hair), i.e. they can control hairloss caused by DHT without side-effects.

Hair lotions available in market to control hair loss are very high in chemicals and can cause a chemical burns on the scalp skin leading to permanent hairloss and scars in the affected areas. Homoeopathy has no such side-effects as the medicines are oral medicines.

Anti-dandruff shampoos are the only solution available to control dandruff. Homoeopathy has specific medicines for particular type of dandruff and also takes care that it does not recur.

Homoeopathy is a holistic medicine and treats the patient as well as the pathology.  Hence PCOS and Hair loss can be simultaneously treated in Homoeopathy without having 10 different medicines unlike conventional medicines.

Stress causes hormonal disturbances in the body like thyroid problems/ PCOS which are known to cause hairloss and is very effectively treated with homeopathy.

Homoeopathy is a mind-body medicine. Homoeopathy treats not only the physical complaints, but also targets the mind and gently restores mind-body equilibrium- thus it treats the patient as a whole. This makes homoeopathy an excellent solution for hair problems related to the mind such as stress related patchy hairloss (alopecia areata), hair pulling disorder (trichotillomania), or stress induced massive hair shedding.
