2.  We all have some emotional relationship with our hair. Whether we wear it long or
short, a certain amount of time every day goes into grooming the hair. It is through
the course of this everyday habit that people first notice hair fall and other changes
in
 the scalp and hair. Thinning hair is often worrisome since its the first step (among
many) that can lead to permanent hair loss and eventual baldness. Homeopathy for
hair fall includes treatments that help prevent hair fall, and also maintain the
quality of hair still growing.
For example, Lycopodium is a homeopathic medicine for hair fall that gives
excellent results. It helps in hair growth and works very well in cases of male
pattern balding. Hair regrowth with homeopathy works well when the underlying
causes of hair fall have been correctly identified. Once the hair cycle falls into
place, and the growth stage normalizes, hair fall ceases to be a problem. The best
homeopathic medicine for hair growth is chosen according to the symptoms and
pattern of the hair fall.
 The thing about hair fall is, it happens everyday! An average adult head would have
about 100,000 to 150,000 hairs. Out of these, it is normal to lose about 50 to 100
strands of hair every day. The problem of hair loss and thinning begins when the
cycle of hair growth does not keep pace with the cycle of hair loss. As long as the
hair continues to regrow at the same speed as it falls (naturally), hair loss is not an
issue.
 In order to understand the causes of hair loss and thinning of hair, it is important to
look into the life cycle of hair

3.  Normal phases of hair growth: There are
different phases of hair growth including
anagen, catagen and telogen phase. After
completion of the last stage, the entire cycle
is repeated. Every single hair undergoes
these three phases of growth independent of
the other hair on the scalp.
 Anagen phase (growth phase) – It lasts for 3
to 5 yrs. This is the active phase where hair
root divides at a high pace and results in hair
growth. At a given time around 85% of hairs
are in this phase.

4.  – Around 1- 3 % of the hair are in this phase at a
given time. Approximately last 10 – 20 days
where the hair stops growing.
 Telogen phase (resting/shedding phase) – At a
given time approximately 10% of the hair are in
this phase. It lasts mostly around three months,
after which the hair falls out.
 In case of male pattern baldness the anagen
phase i.e. the growth phase is shortened, while
the duration of the shedding phase remains the
same. As a result, less hair grows at a given time
in this short time span (as compared to normal
hair growth) while more hair continues to shed
at the same time.

5.  Male balding is a surprisingly common problem, and yet men tend
to feel isolated when suffering through it. According to statistics,
40% of the men undergo noticeable hair loss by the age of 35. By
the time they’re 80, they would have lost almost 80% of their
hair. Homeopathy for hair loss works by strengthening the hair
follicle and moderating the effects of the hormones associated
with hair loss.
In young males, male pattern baldness typically begins from the
frontal area and the crown. With age, it progresses towards the
back of the head.
Anybody with a genetic predisposition towards baldness typically
experiences a change in the hair-growth cycle, mostly caused
due to the action of the hormone dihydrotestosterone. The hair
falls out naturally, but the new hair that is supposed to grow is
thinner, shorter and has a lighter pigmentation. This means that
although the hair continues to grow from the root, it is too thin
to be sustained. The rate of new hair growing out as compared to
the rate with which it falls is the main sign of male pattern
baldness.

6.  With the given statistics, it is a fact that
every other male will suffer early hair loss
and male balding. Signs of early hair loss in
men can be visible as early as the age of 18.
Some common early warning signs of male
pattern baldness include:
 receding hairline from the forehead and
temples
 bald patch on top of the scalp
 reduced density of hair
 thinning of hair
 itching on the scalp

7.  Changing Hormone Levels (Androgens)
 Male pattern baldness is linked with male sex
hormones or androgens including testosterone
and dihydrotestosterone. Androgens help in the
development of male sex organs and other male
characteristics including deepening of the voice,
increasing muscle/bone mass, sperm production,
controlling sex drive and growth of body hair
including facial hair growth. The change in levels
of these hormones results in shrinking of hair
follicles and shortening of the growth phase of
hair (anagen phase). These two factors result in
hair loss.

8. Hair follicles are a pouch or sac found under
the skin, from which a hair grows. A person
on an average has 1,50000 hair follicles on
the scalp. In case of male pattern baldness
due to shrinking of hair follicles either
short, thin hair grows, or a stage where no
hair grows at all is reached.
Shortening of the growth phase of hair
(anagen phase)

9.  Hair fall in men usually follows any one of
the two patterns:
 Receding: It is a very common condition
where the hairline starts receding from the
forehead, or the front of the head and the
sides, along the temples. The hair gradually
starts thinning out, giving the illusion of a
larger forehead.
 Vertex Thinning: The hair all over the head,
and mainly around the crown starts thinning
out. New hair grows, but thinly.

10.  As the second most common type of cancer in males,
prostate cancer is a leading cause of male pattern
baldness. The link here is the hormone
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is made from
testosterone by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. This
hormone is present in the hair follicles, skin and the
prostate. The sensitivity of the hair follicles to this
hormone is the main cause of hair loss. Although they are
separate conditions, male pattern baldness and prostate
cancer are linked by the DHT hormone. DHT stimulates the
growth of prostate cells, contributing to benign prostatic
hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer in older men. With
age, the DHT levels rise, and an accumulation of this
hormone leads to an enlarged prostate.
Testosterone and prostate enlargement, male pattern
baldness, and prostate cancer are all hormone-dependent.
Androgenetic alopecia treatment in homeopathy involves
moderating the effect of these hormones.

11.  Homeopathic remedy for baldness is a more
conservative form of treatment as compared
to conventional treatments. Conventional
treatment involves the use of drugs like
minoxidil and finasteride and other methods
like a hair transplant.
Minoxidil works by stimulating the hair
follicles and is said to help grow new hair,
but it can have side effects like unwanted
body hair, irregular heartbeat, allergic drug
reactions like a rash, swelling of the throat,
face, or tongue and dizziness.

12. Finasteride is a drug used to treat inflammation in the prostate
glands by reducing the production of DTH, which also helps decrease
the rate of hair loss. Its side effects include allergic reactions like
hives, swelling on the face and difficulty in breathing. Impotence and
loss of interest in sexual activity are some more severe side effects.
These (if developed) tend to continue even after stopping the
medicine.
Is homeopathic treatment effective in men? Homeopathic treatment
for hair loss works by targeting the root cause – whether it is a
hormonal problem or a disease. There are no side effects of
homeopathic medicines for male balding, which makes them an
effective option.

13.  LYCOPODIUM CLAVATUM – TOP HOMEOPATHIC
MEDICINE FOR HAIR REGROWTH
 Lycopodium Clavatum is a natural homeopathic
medicine for treating male pattern baldness. It is
prepared from a plant named club moss. This
plant is of natural order Lycopodiaceae.
This is a homeopathic medicine for fast hair
regrowth in male pattern baldness. In most
cases, there is hair loss from the sides of the
scalp (temple region). Along with that, dandruff
may be present with a bad smell from the scalp.
The scalp may be itchy and a burning sensation
can also be present.

14. Baryta Carb is a homeopathic
medicine used for male pattern
baldness where hair loss is mostly
visible on the crown or top of the
scalp (vertex). The scalp may be
sensitive to touch, along with a
crawling sensation.

15.  Silicea is useful homeopathic medicines for
male pattern baldness in very young males,
where the males tend to experience hair loss
very early in their life. Severe itching and
prickling of the scalp, excessive sweating on
the scalp (that smells sour and offensive) is
also present. Another important feature is
the sensation of coldness felt on the scalp.

16.  Also known as androgenetic alopecia, female pattern
baldness is very similar to male pattern baldness. The main
difference between male and female pattern baldness is
the pattern of hair loss. In females, thinning of hair (and
not a receding hairline) is observed. Women carry a very
little chance of going completely bald as compared to
males. However, 40% of the women experience visible hair
loss by the time they touch the age of 40 years. Thinning
of hair begins between the age of 25 to 35 years. 90% of
female baldness is directly linked to genetics, although
there are other contributing factors. Since many factors
can cause hair fall in women, it is difficult to diagnose,
and treat the exact problem.
Female hair loss treatment with homeopathy offers a
conservative course of medicines that work gradually over
time to fix the problem from the root. Conventional
treatment includes the use of drugs like minoxidil and
androgen-blockers, but unless the root cause of the hair
fall is identified, these treatments only act as placebos.

17.  In females, the leading cause of baldness is the
shrinking of the hair follicles. This shrinking leads to
the production of short and thin hair, along with a
shortening of the hair growth phase.
No specific cause has been determined as yet,
although the androgens (hormones) are thought to
play a role.
In rare cases, tumors (benign, non-cancerous) of the
pituitary gland or ovaries or adrenals that secrete
androgens also can lead to female pattern hair loss.
The major contributing factor towards female
pattern baldness is a genetic predisposition (history
of hair loss on either side of the family). It’s more
commonly seen in middle-aged women and after
menopause.
Female pattern baldness in the 20s is usually related
to heredity, lifestyle or stress.

18.  SEPIA SUCCUS
 Sepia Succus is a homeopathic medicine used to
treat female pattern baldness and hair fall. A
common symptom for this medicine is a history
of long-standing headaches. In menopausal age,
Sepia Succus has been successfully used to treat
female pattern baldness. The women may
complain of hot flushes followed by chills and
perspiration. Bearing down pains in the uterus at
menopause along with hair loss may be present.
Some mental symptoms that point towards this
medicine include irritability and indifferent
behavior towards family members.

19. NATRUM MUR
Natrum Mur is a homeopathic medicine for
hair fall in women who lose hair on the
slightest touch. They may also be anemic.
This medicine is usually prescribed to women
experiencing hair loss after childbirth. Along
with hair loss, severe headache after the
delivery of a child may be present. The
headache tends to get worse in the heat of
the sun, and there may be inordinate craving
for salty things.

20.  Any treatment that focusses on female
pattern balding is usually aimed towards
slowing down the rate of hair loss. Seldom do
these treatments focus on promoting hair
regrowth.
The biggest issue with hair loss in females is
that of self-confidence. A new hairstyle, or
using scarves and wigs is one way to deal
with a very natural condition. Apart from
using homeopathic treatment for hair fall,
accepting the problem as a part of life is a
good way forward.

21.  Many scalp conditions can lead to or contribute towards hair loss. Some of the major
scalp conditions associated with hair fall include tinea capitis, lichen planus,
eczema of the scalp (seborrheic dermatitis), scalp folliculitis and dandruff.
 Fungal Infection of Scalp (Tinea Capitis)
 Tinea capitis is a contagious infection of the scalp. It spreads from person to person
contact or by sharing objects like towels, combs, hair brushes. Its main features are
itchy, scaly patches on the scalp. These patches tend to enlarge gradually. Blisters
may also appear with oozing of fluid. The hair in the affected area gets brittle, and
they break off. So, bald patches on the scalp tend to come on.
 Lichen Planus
 Lichen planus is an autoimmune condition affecting skin, hair and mucous
membranes. It leads to flat-topped purple colored papules on the skin. In cases
where lichen planus involves scalp discoloration, hair loss is also noted.
 Eczema of the Scalp (Seborrheic dermatitis)
 Eczema of the scalp is known as seborrheic dermatitis. It is an oily, inflammatory
condition along with flakiness/dandruff that mainly affects the scalp. Itching and
burning of varying degrees may appear. The flakes tend to clog the hair follicles and
hinder hair growth. The hair may stick to the oily flakes and tend to fall off on
scratching. Hair loss, therefore, becomes an associated condition with seborrheic
dermatitis. Apart from the scalp, other areas like the face, eyelashes, ears, and
chest also get affected.
