Alopecia Areata: An Internal Disease

Alopecia Areata can present as a single small patch of hair loss on the scalp; or more spots and at times very large hairless patches.

Alopecia is not a serious disease; never painful or harmful as such. It has more cosmetic concerns. OF course, it is a disease of the immune system, where due to unknown reasons, body’s cells start fighting with each other, leading to the destruction of hair follicles.

It is essentially an internal disease. Internal immunological factors are responsible for its origin. Such immunological factors are governed by genetic and hormonal causes. In other words, Alopecia Areata is a genetically determines, hormonally governed auto-immune disease.

Having said and understood that Alopecia Areata (or other versions such as Alopecia Totalis) is internal disease, obviously, it needs to be corrected internally, and it cannot be treated externally by using and cortisone injections. If treated by external means, it is found that Alopecia will invariably return; sooner or later.

Homeopathic treatment targets the internal cause of Alopecia Areata; tries to treat the genetic, hormonal and immunological complexes and hence produce long-lasting results.
