Alopecia Areata Reversed in Pregnant Lady with Homeopathy

Mrs AK, a 24-year-old married woman from Bhopal (Patient ID: 10207), sought treatment on May 5, 2023, for a moderately circular patch of hair loss on the vertex area of her scalp. She had an online consultation with a team of doctors from Life Force, where she was diagnosed with alopecia areata. The bald patch, noticed approximately a month earlier, was rapidly increasing in size. During the consultation, the condition was explained to her in detail, including how homeopathic medicines from Life Force could help and the possible duration required for recovery. Reassured and confident in the approach, she promptly started her online treatment.

Personal and family setup:
The patient was quiet and reserved by nature. She had lived in a joint family, which included her parents, siblings, grandparents, and paternal uncles with their families. She was loved by all in the family due to her quiet disposition. She was recently married and shared close bonds with her in-laws as well.

Family history:
The patient's mother had previously experienced alopecia areata and successfully recovered with Life Force homeopathic medicines. Additionally, there is a history of underactive thyroid on her paternal side.

At Life Force:
Based on her detailed history on call and photos, it was diagnosed as alopecia areata.

She was advised to do a few blood investigations and guided to make some changes in her dietary habits. Based on her case study, Dr. Shah prescribed a few of his research-based homeopathic medicines for eight weeks and asked for an update.

Based on her recent reports, she was found to have low levels of iron and vitamin D3 and was advised to take appropriate supplements. Additionally, her thyroid levels were borderline high, and she was guided the same. Her parameters were closely monitored after that.

Follow ups:

After eight weeks on the 6th of July 2023, the patient reported no change in the hair loss patch; however, there was no spread as well. The spread had stopped gradually, as noted by the patient, and she felt relieved. Based on her follow-up, she was again prescribed eight weeks of medicines by Dr. Shah.

Meanwhile, on the 31st of Aug 2023, the patient called from her hometown of Bhopal, sharing good news of her pregnancy detected. She was advised not to take any other treatment during her pregnancy by her gynaecologist. Her mother was also on call, and she expressed concerns about it as the patient was under our treatment. They were both assured that her pregnancy shall be considered when prescribing and that the homeopathic medicines are safe and can be taken during pregnancy. 

Homeopathic medicines are one of the safest modes of treatment to be taken during pregnancy. As they are obtained from natural sources and the amount of medicinal extract is potentized and negligible, it is very safe and does not affect the fetus (baby) or the mother. Homeopathy is a strongly recommended form of treatment for all babies, pregnant ladies, the elderly, and animals, as the medicines act gently, safely, and without any side effects or adverse effects, not interfering with any other form of treatment.

Further on the 12th of September 2023, the patient submitted photos of affected areas and gave her follow-up. The photos showed a noticeable reduction in size as regrowth had started from the borders of the patch. On the basis of her follow-up, she was prescribed by Dr. Shah for another eight weeks.

Further follow-up on January 20th, 2024, showed further regrowth by 70 to 80%. The patient and her mother were both happy with the quick response to homeopathy. She continued the medicines for another two months and stopped as there was regrowth over the entire patch.
The patient later reported delivering a healthy baby boy. She thanked Dr. Shah for the timely and quick response to her concerns and for treating her condition quickly without any side effects.

Conclusion:

The patient achieved complete recovery through online treatment, without a single in-person visit, demonstrating the remarkable effectiveness of the remote care provided by Dr. Shah. This success highlights the convenience and efficacy of online homeopathic treatment, especially for patients who live far away and are unable to visit in person.
Notably, homeopathy is highly recommended for pregnant women, who may be restricted from other forms of treatment, as well as for elderly individuals, infants, and even pets. The remedies are safe, gentle, free from side effects, and do not cause adverse reactions, making them a suitable choice for all age groups and conditions.
