Abstract

Since its origin, homoeopathy has shown unprecedented success in treating sickness. Homoeopathic evidence and case details are essential for the future development of Alopecia Areata (AA) and the significance of homoeopathy, which I will discuss in detail in this article. A 17-year-old girl complained of localized hair loss on the scalp for the last eight months. Diagnosed with alopecia areata, she was prone to irritability, desire for sweets, and an averse to salt. reduced hunger and thirst. Constipation once every three days. After a thorough case analysis and repertorization, the patient was prescribed Rx Natrum muriaticum 200 1D in 10 ml, 5 ml stat and 5 ml HS per day in accordance with the homoeopathic principle. At the patient's last follow-up, there was a marked increase in hair growth, and within two months of homoeopathic treatment, the patient felt better symptomatically and emotionally. Conclusion: so long as they have enough training and experience, homoeopathic doctors are capable of treating a broad range of conditions. Alopecia areata (AA) was treated with a successful homoeopathic constitution medication, and the patient's physical and mental health improved as a consequence. One may get speedy improvement in health via homoeopathy when other systems have a limited function in addressing aesthetic disorders without side effects.
