Homeopathy Treatment for Hair Pulling Disorder
Trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder), is characterized by an uncontrollable urge to pull out one’s hair from the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, or other parts of the body. This is often an attempt to neutralize an anxious feeling. It can take place unconsciously or consciously due to boredom, stress, anxiety, or zoning out. According to the reports published by The National Center for Biotechnology Information, community prevalence studies suggest that trichotillomania is a common disorder with a prevalence estimate of 0.5% to 2.0% worldwide.
In most cases, after pulling out hair, patients report a feeling of relief or satisfaction as they describe having “scratched an itch” or “pulled out a hair that didn’t belong.” Family and friends can often find it perplexing that an individual could find this habit pleasurable. If the hair pulling gets severe it could lead to bald patches, which can be embarrassing, isolating, and frustrating for many patients suffering from it.

Trichotillomania is most commonly found in pre-adolescents and young adults. Genetics may also play an important role in the development of the disorder as it may occur in those who have close relatives suffering from it. This disorder could be a sign of unresolved anxiety or an inability to cope with stress in a productive way. It may also be preceded by a conflict in the family, abuse, or death of a loved one. In many cases, there is no defined trichotillomania cause behind such behavior.
Co-existing illness with Trichotillomania
Psychological disorders like depression and anxiety are frequently found in individuals suffering from trichotillomania. Other repetitive behaviors that co-exist with it are:
- Skin picking disorder
- Nail-biting
- Thumb sucking
- Headbanging
- Compulsive scratching
Why homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a mind-body medicine that not only treats the physical complaints but also targets the mind and gently restores the body-mind equilibrium. It helps in treating ailments such as stress-related patchy hair loss (alopecia areata), stress-induced massive hair-shedding, or in this case, hair-pulling disorder (trichotillomania).
Homeopathic medicine for trichotillomania treatment is selected based on the patient’s medical history. Homeopathy for hair loss also treats the underlying causes such as anemia, PCOS and thyroid problems efficiently. Homeopathic medicines stimulate the body’s own healing capacity by encouraging the body to reactivate hormone secretions and regulate imbalances naturally. Homeopathy is also the best solution for treating bald patches that are resultant of such disorders.
According to a study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, natural ingredients found in homeopathic remedies like Thuja Occidentalis and Sabal Serrulata are effective in hair fall treatment. They have also been proven to act as natural DHT (dihydrotestosterone)-inhibitors that promote hair regrowth.
