Hair Care

Hair fall is one of the most common problems which one experiences in everyday life. However, some amount of hair loss is considered normal. Hairs are composed of columns of dead, keratinized epidermal cells bonded together by extracellular proteins.

A hair loss can be due to various reasons:

Illness – The hair loss usually increases after any acute illness.
Radiation therapy – The use of radiations in cancer treatments also leads to increased hair loss in cancer patients.
Chemotherapy – Certain drugs used in cancer treatment, to kill the cancer cells, adversely affect the healthy cells, particularly hairs, thereby
increasing hair loss. However, after chemotherapy, hair re-growth can be seen.
Age – The hair loss generally increases with age and can lead to either male pattern or female pattern baldness.
Genetics – A family history of baldness can lead to hair loss in certain individuals.
Gender – Females are more prone to hair loss due to various hormonal changes during puberty, post-delivery, and during menopause.

Severe emotional stress – Emotional trauma or stress affects the hypothalamus and can cause certain hormonal imbalances leading to hair loss.
Systemic illness – Hyper/Hypothyroidism and Kidney disorders, can cause hair loss. Certain skin conditions, such as Lichen Planopilaris and Psoriasis, can also cause an increase in hair fall.
Rapid weight-loss diets that severely restrict calories or protein increase hair loss. Also, nutritional deficiencies of certain nutrients, such as iron and zinc can increase hair loss.

Homeopathy Treatment For Hair Fall

Homeopathy is an option that is effective for regrowth of hair and curing baldness. This is often the last stop of treatment for people who have failed at restoring their previous state of the hair.

Hair loss, as it is a chronic problem, requires constitutional treatment.
Homeopathy focuses on the root cause of the problem and helps in the treatment of hair loss.
A well-chosen homeopathic remedy helps in controlling the amount of hair fall. However, one must understand that baldness cannot be reversed.
Homeopathic medicines which are prepared from plant, mineral, and animal sources help in reducing the quantity of hair loss.
Homeopathic medicines are individualized, selected based on the individual case history of the patient, by taking into consideration the cause like hormonal imbalance, nutritional factor, emotional stress, the nature of the patient, and other factors which may be acting as a maintaining cause in the hair loss.
