Homeopathy & Alopecia Areata (bald patches)




1. What is Alopecia Areata?


      Traditional medicine defines Alopecia areata as an autoimmune, often reversible disease in which loss of hair occurs in sharply defined areas usually involving the scalp or beard, but any area of the body, where hair grows, can be affected.

  Alopecia Areata usually starts with one or more small, round, smooth bald patches on the scalp and can progress to total scalp hair loss (alopecia total) or complete body hair loss (Alopecia Universalis).

     It is not known why alopecia areata or other autoimmune diseases occur. It is thought that something triggers the immune system to react against one or more of the body's own tissues. Possible triggers include viruses, infection, medicines, or other environmental factors. There is also an inherited factor that makes some people more prone to autoimmune diseases. About 1 in 4 people with alopecia areata have a close relative who is also affected.


2. What are the outlook (prognosis) and treatment for people with Alopecia Areata in traditional medicine?


Mild cases of Alopecia Areata often get better without treatment within a few months to a year.(Any re-growth usually does not start within three months of hair loss.)

In some cases, patchy baldness may come and go over many months or years. The size of the bald patch or patches and how long they last are quite variable.
If less than half of the scalp is affected and no treatment is started, there is about an 8 in 10 chance of full hair re-growth within one year.
With more extensive hair loss, it is less likely that hair will re-grow.

 Alopecia Areata itself won't damage your general health and so not treating will not lead to any general health problems. When considering any treatment choices, you should take into account the possible side-effects that some of the treatments may have. The success rate for the various treatments is probably not high. Also, there is no guarantee that any hair regrown during treatment will persist once the treatment is finished.

Traditional treatment are:  

-   Steroid injections
-   Topical (rub-on) ,Steroid , immunotherapy ,Minoxidil.

 3. What Homeopathy has to offer?


     Homeopathy remedies teach the body how to heal sending the right message to your immune system. The body language to tell us that something it is not working as supposes is to make us sick. The symptoms and diseases show to fail in the immune system to fix what is needed. An autoimmune disease is the result of an overreacting response; that attacks you on the body.

    Homeopathy looks at all signs that on your system, mental, emotional states, physically too.

    We need to address the roots (causes); that is a way you need to go to a Homeopathy doctor.

How to Help your Hair Growth with Diet & Essential Oils

Image
Our eating habits directly influence the health of our hair. A deficiency of vitamin F (essential fatty acids), for example, causes a disruption in the keratin process of the scalp by stimulating the appearance of dandruff. Calcium deficiency causes hair to turn brittle. These are just examples of how the hair depends on sufficient amounts of nutrients to keep moisture and cohesion between its cells, giving them a healthy look. Healthy and shiny hair depends on vitamins and minerals found in many foods. Your diet should be rich in protein (meat, fish, eggs, yogurt), vegetables and fruits, oleaginous seeds (almonds, walnuts, cashews), legumes (beans, peas, lentils), and whole grains (oats, flax, rye). More critical than ingesting large amounts of a particular food, or vitamins such as zinc and copper, is to seek synergy between the vitamins and minerals. The ideal diet should be varied by rotating between different foods to ensure that we consume sufficient nutrients. Fruits and...

CANDIDA AND HAIR LOSS

Image
How a biological imbalance in our natural flora of the scalp can lead to Hair Loss Hair loss results from a combination of the following: 1. Genetic predisposition 2. Poor nutrition 3. Weak immune system 4. An environment that leads to an overgrowth of Candida fungus (Yeast) . 1. Genetic predisposition,Male and Female Pattern Baldness The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition called male-pattern baldness or female pattern baldness. It usually occurs gradually and in predictable patterns — a receding hairline and bald spots in men and thinning hair in women. Pattern baldness is most common in men and can begin as early as puberty, and this type of hair loss may involve both hair thinning and miniaturization (hair becomes soft, fine and short).One cause of male pattern baldness is genetics, or having a family history of baldness, which influences the age at which you begin to lose hair, the rate of hair loss and the extent of baldness. ...

Why your Hair turns Grey and What you can do to Prevent.

Image
Fifty percent of the population has about 50% gray hair at age 50," says Dr. Anthony Oro, professor of dermatology at Stanford University. And like skin, hair changes its texture with age, says Dr. Heather Woolery Lloyd, director of ethnic skincare at the University of Miami School of Medicine. Caucasians tend to go gray earlier — and redheads earliest of all. Then Asians. Then African-Americans. Scientists haven't figured out why yet. Your hair doesn't turn gray — it grows that way. The change in hair color occurs when melanin ceases to be produced in the hair root and new hairs grow in without pigment. Our hair color comes from a pigment called melanin. When you’re young, special pigment stem cells called melanocytes inject pigment into keratin-containing cells. This keratin, a protein, makes up your hair and is responsible for giving it its color. As you age, melanin is reduced, which is why your hair turns gray and, ultimately, white (this means there’s no mela...
