Hair Loss - Can Homeopathy Help?

There are a number of skin disorders that affects the scalp and serves as a causative factor for hair loss. The most common are hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and an increased sebum discharge from the sebaceous gland, leading to loosening of hair follicles, thus aiding hair loss. This condition is commonly known as seborrhea.

Fluoric acid, found in the homeopathic medicine Floricum, is a brilliant remedy for hair loss, particularly for patches leading to partial baldness. Phosphorous is an excellent option for prevention as well, especially when the loss of hair occurs in large patches or strands.

Inflammation, one of the major causes for hair loss, occurs when your body does not receive the requisite nutrients or is under excessive stress. Omega-3 fatty acids, in this regard, works brilliantly in reducing inflammation. They not only prevent hair loss but also helps in hair growth. Fish oil or flaxseeds work great in this regard. The dosage can be 2 capsules a day or 1 tablespoon.

A number of homeopathic medicines such as Pulsatilla and Natrum muriaticum are excellent for women post childbirth who are also suffering from iron deficiencies (one of the chief causes for hair loss) or severe headaches. It helps not only by preventing loss of hair but also helps in regrowth of the same.
