Note: Homeopathic Treatment requires strict individualization. Please do not take any medicine without consulting your physician/homeopath.
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
- 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)
