Alopecia Areata is a condition where there is a hair loss from a particular part of the body.
It is an autoimmune disorder in which the hair follicles are damaged by our own immune system and mostly affects the scalp. It is present in both males and females. The male and female ratio is 1.4:1.

Causes of Alopecia Areata

Alopecia Areata is considered to be an auto-immune condition in which the immune system of the body (which protects the body from bacteria, viruses, allergens, etc.) mistakenly attacks the hair follicles and destroys them. This leads to hair loss in the affected area.

Symptoms of Alopecia Areata

1.Excessive hair loss in small, round patches, usually in short period of time

1. May affect scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, beard or mustache
2. Single or multiple bald (hairless) spots
3. Underlying skin usually looks normal
4. Generalized thinning of hair referred as diffused Alopecia Areata over the scalp.
5. Complete loss of hair all over the scalp – Alopecia Totalis
6. Extensive hair loss all over the body – Alopecia Universalis.
7. Scarred Alopecia Areata: Any patch of Alopecia which has a scar formation.

HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT

• Homeopathic treatment for Alopecia Areata has shown excellent results as far as reduction in hair fall, increase in growth of strong hair and non-recurrence is concerned.
• The selection of the homeopathic remedy depends on the sensitivity and individual’s response to stimuli as well as the intensity and duration of the disease.

Asthma is a chronic disease involving the airways in the lungs. These airways, or bronchial tubes, allow air to come in and out of the lungs.

If you have asthma your airways are always inflamed. They become even more swollen and the muscles around the airways can tighten when something triggers your symptoms. This makes it difficult for air to move in and out of the lungs, causing symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and/or chest tightness.

People with a family history of allergies or asthma are more prone to developing asthma. Many people with asthma also have allergies. This is called allergic asthma.

Occupational asthma is caused by inhaling fumes, gases, dust or other potentially harmful substances while on the job.

Childhood asthma impacts millions of children and their families. In fact, the majority of children who develop asthma do so before the age of five.

Symptoms

Asthma symptoms vary from person to person. You may have infrequent asthma attacks, have symptoms only at certain times — such as when exercising — or have symptoms all the time.

Asthma signs and symptoms include:

• Shortness of breath
• Chest tightness or pain
• Trouble sleeping caused by shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing
• A whistling or wheezing sound when exhaling (wheezing is a common sign of asthma in children)
• Coughing or wheezing attacks that are worsened by a respiratory virus, such as a cold or the flu

Signs that your asthma is probably worsening include:

• Asthma signs and symptoms that are more frequent and bothersome
• Increasing difficulty breathing (measurable with a peak flow meter, a device used to check how well your lungs are working)
• The need to use a quick-relief inhaler more often

For some people, asthma signs and symptoms flare up in certain situations:

• Exercise-induced asthma, which may be worse when the air is cold and dry
• Occupational asthma, triggered by workplace irritants such as chemical fumes, gasses or dust
• Allergy-induced asthma triggered by airborne substances, such as pollen, mold spores, cockroach waste or particles of skin and dried saliva shed by pets (pet dander)

HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT

• It reduces the frequency of asthma attacks
• It reduces the severity of attacks
• It enhances immunity whereby your tendency to get a frequent cough, colds, throat infection, etc. reduces
• It reduces the need for bronchodilator, cortisone, inhalers, antibiotics
• It improves overall health

Allergies are the response from the immune system or the defense system which reacts to substances such as dust, pollen, mites, and some eatables. These substances do not cause any harm in most of the people. But few react to it in an abnormal way when exposed to. The reaction is called an allergic reaction. The substances which cause or trigger such reactions are called as Allergens.

CAUSES

Risk factors for allergy can be placed in two general categories, namely host and environmental factors. Host factors include heredity, sex, race, and age, with heredity being by far the most significant. However, there have been recent increases in the incidence of allergic disorders that cannot be explained by genetic factors alone. Four major environmental candidates are alterations in exposure to infectious diseases during early childhood, environmental pollution, allergen levels, and dietary changes.

SYMPTOMS

Symptoms of Allergies are many and may vary from person to person. Not all symptoms may be present. Symptoms also depend on the type of allergy and the allergen.

Nose and respiratory Symptoms (cause Allergic rhinitis, allergic sinusitis, allergic asthma ):

• Irritation in nose
• Swelling of nasal mucosa
• Sneezing
• Runny nose

• Itching of nostrils
• Coughing
• Difficulty in breathing
• Asthmatic attacks

Callosities also known as corns, are toughened areas in the skin, as a result of repeated pressure or repeated contact with rough surfaces. They are most common on the hands and feet but appear localized to the area that bears repeated pressure or abrasion.

CAUSES

Corns and calluses arise from hyperkeratosis, a normal physiological response to chronic excessive pressure or friction on the skin.

The outermost layer of skin called the stratum corneum is maintained as a hard, protective, layer by the process of keratin deposition (keratinisation). The stratum corneum is thus maintained as a highly protective sheath over the skin. In hyperkeratosis, there is excess deposition of keratin over the skin as a result of repeated pressure or shear strain that chronically displaces or disrupts the stratum corneum. This excess deposition may happen either locally or in a diffuse manner depending upon individual tendencies and the nature of stresses involved.

Often, callosities are found in sensitive areas of the body where the overlying skin is exposed to repeated wear and tear. They are the body’s natural response to repeated moderate and constant, pressures. Callosities are commoner over the skin overlying the weight bearing areas of the body while the corns may appear on non-weight bearing areas of the palms and soles.

The corn is a localized collection of dead skin cells which have a very hard (indurated) centre. Many clinicians believe that a typical callosity differs from a corn because, its center unlike the corn is softer and not a hardened core.

Occasionally, when corns become painful, they are called ‘bunions’.

The most common sites for clavus formation are the feet, specifically the dorsolateral aspect of the fifth toe for heloma durum, in the fourth interdigital web of the foot for heloma molle, and under the metatarsal heads for calluses.

SYMPTOMS

• Affected area of the skin appears rough, thickened and hyperkeratotic.
• It is common to find the callus present with fungal infections.
• Pain: on applying direct pressure is not uncommon. Some callosities can be so painful that they seriously alter the person’s gait and daily activities.
• Occasionally – presence of a keratin plug in the centre of the callus.

HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT

Callosities and corns show promising results with homeopathic treatment. Homeopathic medicines can relieve the pain as well as recurrence of the callosities. Painful callosities that cannot be scrubbed by pumice stones respond well to homeopathic medications taken internally.

Dandruff is nothing but a very common skin condition which causes flakiness of scalp. The scalp is made up of skin cells. When these cells die, they shed in the form of white flakes. Shedding of skin is a natural process, but if dead cells removal becomes excessive, the flakes become visible and the condition is called Dandruff.

CAUSES

• Texture of skin:The texture of skin is an essential factor in the causes of Dandruff. Dandruff can happen either when the skin is excessively dry or very oily.
• Shampooing:Frequency of shampooing hair is also a key aspect when it comes to Dandruff.Inadequate shampooing and over-shampooing, both, can effectively cause itchy scales.
• Seborrhoeic Dermatitis:This is a form of skin inflammation in which redness and itching frequently occurs around the folds of the nose and eyebrow areas and scalp.
• Diseases:Other skin diseases like Eczema and Psoriasis also figure among the causes of Dandruff.
• Allergic reaction:Hypersensitivity to certain hair products may also cause Dandruff. Individual susceptibility plays a major role here.
• External causes:Yeast like fungus like Malassezia globosa, Pityrosporum Ovale can give rise to Dandruff.

HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT

• Homeopathy is very accomplished in managing the symptoms of Dandruffwith its constitutional approach and vast range of medicines.
• The medicines prescribed act in such a way as to alleviate the symptomsas well as prevent relapse of the condition. Since Dandruff occurs because of rapid turnover of cells, suppressing it is no solution.
• Homeopathic treatment for Dandruff provides complete holistic wellbeing to the patient by boosting the immune system and assisting recovery in the safest and most natural way.

Homeopathic treatment for Dandruff is natural, safe and without any side-effects. It is a patient-oriented science and medicines are prescribed on the characteristics of the individual rather than just the symptoms of the disease.
