Homeopathy treats the person as a whole.

It means that
homeopathic treatment focuses on the patient as a person, as well
as his pathological condition. The homeopathic medicines are
selected after a full individualizing examination and case-analysis,
which includes the medical history of the patient, physical and
mental constitution etc. A miasmatic tendency
(predisposition/susceptibility) is also often taken into account for
the treatment of chronic conditions. The medicines given below
indicate the therapeutic affinity but this is not a complete and
definite guide to the treatment of this condition. The symptoms
listed against each medicine may not be directly related to this
disease because in homeopathy general symptoms and
constitutional indications are also taken into account for selecting a
remedy. To study any of the following remedies in more detail,
please visit our Materia Medica section. None of these medicines
should be taken without professional advice.

Hair Loss in men and women; causes and homeopathy treatment of

hair loss. Homeopathic hair loss products for hair restoration and
growth.
The medical term for hair loss is alopecia. The most common type
is pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). It accounts for about
95 percent of hair loss from the scalp. Its typically permanent and
can be attributed to heredity. Another type of alopecia, alopecia
areata, can be temporary. It can involve hair loss on your scalp or
your body. Its specific cause is unknown.
Baldness typically refers to excessive hair loss from your scalp and
can be the result of heredity, certain medications or an underlying
medical condition. Anyone men, women and children can
experience hair loss.
Baldness is not usually caused by a disease, but is related to aging,
heredity, and testosterone. In addition to the common male and
female patterns from a combination of these factors, other
possible causes of hair loss, especially if in an unusual pattern,
include:
Hormonal changes (for example, thyroid disease, childbirth, or
use of the birth control pill)
A serious illness (like a tumor of the ovary or adrenal glands) or
fever
Medication such as cancer chemotherapy
Excessive shampooing and blow-drying
Permanent hair straightening
Emotional or physical stress
Nervous habits such as continual hair pulling or scalp rubbing
Burns or radiation therapy
Alopecia areata bald patches that develop on the scalp, beard,
and, possibly, eyebrows. Eyelashes may fall out as well. This is
thought to be an immune disorder.

 Tinea capitis (ringworm of the scalp)

Studies have shown that poor nutrition, limited food intake, and
deficiencies in certain nutrients can cause thinning.

Symptoms of alopecia include hair loss in patches usually in circular

patterns, dandruff, skin lesions, and scarring. Alopecia areata
usually shows in unusual hair loss areas e.g. eyebrows, backside of
the head or above the ears where usually the male pattern
baldness does not effect. In male-pattern hair loss, loss and
thinning begin at the temples and the crown and either thins out or
falls out. Female-pattern hair loss occurs at the frontal and
parietal region of head
.
Hair-loss is again just an indicator that there is something not well
in your body. The hairs may fall due to a local infection or due to a
systemic disorder or deficiency. The treatment also varies
accordingly. The following homeopathic medicines are often found
indicated in cases of hair fall:
Alum, Ars, Bar-c, Carbo-veg, Flour-ac, Graph, Lyco, Nat-m, Nit-ac,
Phos-ac, Phos, Selen, Sep, Syph, Thallium, Vinca.
