Alopecia areata is not a local disorder:
As discussed in the causes of alopecia areata, this condition is not exclusively a local disorder; rather it's an auto-immune condition in which the immunity of the body is altered. Thus it is a local expression of a generalized body state. Having said thus, one clearly understands that the treatment for alopecia areata should not be with any local medication with creams or tonics. We have consistently observed that such products rarely help or do little good. It is the internal treatment decided for an individual patient, which cures the alopecia areata .
There are numerous medicines in homeopathy used for a range of problems. About twenty or more are commonly indicated for the cases of alopecia areata . Out of these, the homeopathic remedy for the patient is determined after evaluation of the patient's case in a great detail. The case-study is the most vital part of the treatment, whereby various aspects of the patient's life-style, personality, food-habits, emotional make-up, personal and the family history are evaluated appropriately to decide on the correct medication to treat the alopecia. As the entire constitution (physical and mental) of the patient is evaluated in a systematic manner, the homeopathic treatment is called as the ‘constitutional treatment'. After the individual case study, one homeopathic remedy is selected which suits the particular patient suffering from alopecia areata . As you can imagine, the remedy for every patient with alopecia areata may be different, depending on his or her constitution.
How does the constitutional treatment help?
The very significance of the constitutional treatment in homeopathy is to 'treat the patient as a whole' or 'patient as a person' which is directed to heal the body-mind system from within. The constitutional treatment helps the body's own healing mechanism, enhances body's self-recovery capacity hence leading to a long term cure.
The duration of treatment:
Hair growth in general is a slow process. It takes times to appreciate any changes in the alopecia patches. Depending on the nature of causes in a given case of alopecia areata, the treatment is required for 4 to 8 months or more. Within three to four months time, one can appreciate definite improvement in most cases.
