Abstract

Introduction: Alopecia totalis is an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss anywhere in the body, but it most commonly affects the hair of the scalp. It occurs in people of all ages and affects 1–2% of the human population. The homoeopathic literature suggests that cases of alopecia totalis have been treated successfully with homoeopathic medicines. Case Summary: This case highlights the potential of the individualised homoeopathic remedy in promoting hair regrowth in alopecia totalis in a 14-yr old girl. The patient was prescribed Calcarea carbonica 200C, 2 doses on the basis of totality of symptoms and individualisation. This evidence-based case report shows how Homoeopathy can offer a promising alternative to conventional treatment in such cases.
