October 13, 2019

Did you know globally, approximately 3.5 crore men and 2.1 crore women suffer from hair loss?

Hair loss is so common that we start running from parlour to parlour trying product after product believing that hair loss is a cosmetic problem. Ever wondered why aren’t you getting any permanent solution to your hair loss? There are no permanent solutions of treatments in parlors or in use of any hair lotion because hair loss is mistaken to be a cosmetic problem.

Ever wondered what causes hair loss?

Experts say there are about 40 different health disorders that result in hair loss. You read it right! Hair loss is a medical problem and not cosmetic.

To begin with, a certain amount of hair loss is normal. The hair follicle has separate cycles of fall, rejuvenation and growth occurring over a three year period called the hair growth cycle.  

If your hair sheds more than just a few strands i.e., 50-100 strands/day, it could be a result of the following ailments:

  1. Physical And Emotional Stress:

    A person suffering through emotional or physical stress of any kind such as divorce or loss of a loved one is prone to hair loss, more specifically telogen effluvium. Your hair goes through a programmed cycle. A stressful event can shock the cycle pushing more hair into the shedding phase. 

Tip: A person must take effective steps to combat stress and anxiety by exercising, meditating or taking help from a support group.

Homeopathic advantage: Homeopathy is a mind-body medicine and it not only treats the physical complaints but also targets the mind and gently restores the body-mind equilibrium treating ailments such as stress-related patchy loss of hair (alopecia areata), hair-pulling disorder (trichotillomania) or stress induced massive hair-shedding. 

  1. Pregnancy:

    Becoming a mother is undoubtedly the most rewarding experience for many women. However, it does come with certain challenges in terms of biological and physical changes. The oestrogen levels that were high during pregnancy come sharply down to normal — and, hair moves from the growing phase to the falling phase. 

Tip: Give yourself time till your little one turns one as the hair loss episode should cease towards your baby’s first birthday. If the hair loss still persists, the next step is to understand the underlying cause of hair loss like iron deficiency, poor nutrition or poor circulation. Effective control on diet after consulting your homeopathic doctor is a good idea. For more information on diet, read: Top 10 foods to prevent hair loss

Homeopathic advantage: Homeopathy works effectively to relieve problems related to pregnancy and motherhood. Unlike conventional medicines that may have side-effects on both the mother and child, homeopathy addresses pregnancy-related problems without any toxic side-effects. 

  1. Heredity:

    If your maternal or paternal side of the family had hair loss; you are also prone to suffer from the same. Women have their hair-part widen and also thinning of hair unlike men who have a receding hairline.

  1. Hypothyroidism Or Hyperthyroidism:

    The thyroid gland helps regulate body's metabolism by controlling the production of proteins. Hair is composed of a protein called keratin that is produced in the hair follicles therefore; any thyroid imbalance can lead to hair loss.

Homeopathic advantage: Homeopathy stimulates the body’s own healing capacity by encouraging the body to reactivate hormone secretions and regulate imbalances naturally.

  1. PCOS:

An excess of androgens, a group of hormones that play a role in male traits and reproductive activity can lead to ovarian cysts, weight gain, a higher risk of diabetes, menstrual period fluctuations, infertility, as well as hair thinning. As the male hormones are excessively present in women suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), they may also experience more hair on the face and body.

Tip: Polycystic ovarian syndrome can be managed effectively through diet, exercise and homeopathy treatment. Once you treat your hormonal imbalance, your hair will stop falling eventually.

Homeopathic advantage: Research shows that homeopathy is effective in treating PCOS and helps regulate hormonal imbalance and also avoid surgical procedures.

Some Other Causes Of Hair Loss Are:

  1. Over styling

Excessive hairstyling and treatments may result in hair loss as it affects the hair follicles and restrict your hair to grow back.

Tip: Avoid hairstyles like tight braids, tight ponytails, chemical straightening or hot-oil treatments.

  1. Conventional medication

Medications like blood thinners, blood-pressure drugs, methotrexate (used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and some skin conditions), lithium (for bipolar disorder), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antidepressants lead to hair loss and other serious side-effects.
 

Considering the number of underlying causes of hair loss, homeopathy is the safest, natural and the most effective medical treatment to not only treat hair loss but also promote healing right from the root of an ailment. Homeopathy treats the underlying root cause of hair loss as it prevents formation of DHT- hormone that triggers hair loss, making it an effective hair loss treatment without side-effects.
