HAIR FALL SOLUTION FOR ALL HAIR CONDITIONS

Hair loss, also known as alopecia or baldness, refers to excessive hair fall from the scalp that can be temporary or permanent. Hair loss can be a result of heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions or aging. People typically lose 50 to 100 strands of hair a day as a part of the hair growth cycle. The hair goes through 3 phases that are known as the Anagen phase, Catagen phase and Telogen phase. This hair growth cycle ensures we don’t lose patches of hair all at once. Hair loss occurs when new hair doesn't replace the hair strand that has fallen out during the Telogen phase. Excessive hair fall can become a cause for concern as it may even leave a bald spot.

Excessive hair fall can be determined by symptoms like:

• Excessive hair shedding (more hair seen on the floor, pillow or on your washroom drain)

• A receding hair line is seen when hair thinning occurs above the forehead in both men and women

• Overall thinning of the hair from the scalp

• Widening of partition often forming a ‘Christmas tree’ like pattern on the scalp and a thin pony tail in women (female pattern baldness)

• Partial baldness and M-shaped hair line in men (male baldness pattern)

• Hair loss from the back of the head or the crown area

• Alopecia areata resulting in hair loss in patches forming a bald spot

• Scarring alopecia or cicatricial alopecia (hair loss accompanied with scarring)

SKIN DISEASES

There are over 2,000 different skin diseases that not only affect the appearance but also affect the self-confidence and the quality of life. Skin is the longest and the most exposed organ of our body; and tends to fall prey to different medical conditions. It serves to protect our bodies from harmful elements every day and is also a mirror to our inner health. It is usually indicative of a deeper, more serious systemic problem. For example, excessive skin dryness may suggest a thyroid imbalance. Frequent non-healing boils point to diabetes and a scaly skin could mean an autoimmune disorder. Many skin problems or skin diseases are psychosomatic and result from stress and anxiety. There is a strong connection between the way you feel and the way your skin looks.

Some of the common skin diseases that we treat at Divine Homeopathic Clinic are:
Acne : Acne is one of the most common skin problems affecting people globally. According to the National Centre for Biotechnology Information, acne affects approximately 9.4% of the world's population, with the highest prevalence in adolescents. It affects over 90% of men and 80% of women in all ethnic groups. It is commonly referred to as ‘pimples’ or ‘zits’. The condition is not life-threatening, but can lead to scarring of the skin (acne scar). It can be an indication of a deeper problem like polycystic ovarian syndrome or thyroid disorders. It causes more damage to the patient's psyche than to the skin and therefore needs immediate and effective acne treatment.

Eczema : Also known as atopic dermatitis, eczema is a chronic skin problem that is characterized by red, inflamed and itchy skin. It is commonly seen in children but can affect adults as well. According to the National Centre of Biotechnology, children with atopic dermatitis or eczema have higher levels of emotional distress and more behavioral problems than healthy children or children with minor skin problems. Eczema skin problem tends to flare up periodically and may be accompanied by asthma in some cases.

Psoriasis: Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disorder that speeds up the life-cycle of skin cells. This results in rapid buildup of the cells on the surface of the skin. This further leads to formation of scales and red patches. These psoriasis patches are most often associated with itchy skin and can sometimes be painful. Psoriasis symptoms usually occur on the scalp (scalp psoriasis), elbows, knees, lower back and genitals. In some cases, psoriasis can also affect the fingernails (nail psoriasis).

Vitiligo : Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin problem characterized by white patches on skin, A pigment called melanin produced by melanocytes imparts skin its natural colour. When melanocytes die or are unable to function, it results in the loss of melanin (or loss of skin pigment). This loss of pigment results in milky white patches or vitiligo. It is a chronic skin disorder that can cause extreme emotional stress in people suffering from it. In many cases, vitiligo has also lead to social rejection, trouble in relationships and marriages.

Lichen planus : Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects the skin, mouth and genitals. It is characterized by rows or clusters of dark, raised and flat-topped skin lesions. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, lichen is an autoimmune skin disease that affects almost 0.5 to 2% of the world’s population.

Warts: Warts, also known as verruca, are small, non-cancerous, usually painless growths on the skin. Warts skin disease is caused by a virus called the human papillomavirus. Though skin warts are harmless, they can be quite disfiguring, leading to low self-confidence in patients.

SKIN DISORDERS

There are 5 advantages of skin treatment in homeopathy:

• Homeopathy is a safe option for treating skin diseases as it treats without any side-effects.

• It treats associated complaints such as thyroid disorders and diabetes.

• It does not suppress skin diseases by using local ointments or applicators but, treats the root cause of the skin problem.

• It also extends beyond the physical symptoms to address the underlying conditions of mental stress, anxiety and depression that may be seen in patients suffering from skin diseases.

• It offers long-term relief from skin diseases.

PSORIASIS

Psoriasis disease is an autoimmune condition that causes cells to build-up rapidly on the surface of the skin. The extra skin cells form scales and red patches that are often associated with itching and flaking. Psoriasis symptoms usually occur on the scalp (scalp psoriasis), elbows, knees, lower back and genitals. In some cases, psoriasis can also affect fingernails.

Psoriasis disease is not contagious and in most people, the rash is limited to a few patches of skin. In severe cases, it can cover large areas of the body. The main goal of an effective psoriasis treatment should therefore be to stop the skin cells from growing rapidly and avoid build-up.

Causes

Skin psoriasis is a chronic disease wherein the cells of the immune system of the body mistakenly attack the body’s own skin cells. Normally, the skin cells are replaced every 28 to 30 days but in case of psoriasis disease, new cells grow and build-up on the surface of the skin every 3 to 4 days. This rapid build-up of new cells creates silvery scales of psoriasis on the skin. Some of the factors that are believed to trigger psoriasis disease are:

• Extreme stress

• Infections like strep throat (a bacterial infection that causes inflammation and pain in the throat) or skin infections

• Cold and dry weather

• Friction and injuries to the skin

• Excessive intake of alcohol and smoking

DEPRESSION

In simplified words, depression can be defined as sadness or grief that persists for an excessively long duration as compared to normal and significantly impairs the normal functioning of an individual.

On account of millions of people being affected by depression worldwide, it is a huge public health problem. It is especially important to diagnose it and treat it in time, because it affects not only the patient but his entire family as well as his work.

Depression can affect people of all ages and backgrounds; females are twice as likely to suffer from it as compared to males. The major problem with this condition is that it often has sub-clinical symptoms, leading it to be under-diagnosed and hence under-treated.

Homeopathy, which is safe and free of medicinally induced side effects, diagnoses the type of depression a person is experiencing, not just the problem by its name alone; it looks at each person holistically as a completely unique individual. This is not merely based on symptoms experienced during the illness, but also on one’s personality or temperament, besides the likely cause of the health concern.

ASTHMA

Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow, swell and produce extra mucus leading to a difficulty in breathing. It can trigger cough, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Asthma can be a major setback for many people as it interferes with daily activities and can also lead to a life-threatening asthma attack. In children, it is one of the main reasons to miss school. It is a psychosomatic disorder - triggered as much by allergens as by dysfunctional relationships and stress. To treat asthma effectively, you need to treat its root cause.

Some of the common asthma symptoms include:

• Coughing, especially at night

• Wheezing

• Shortness of breath

• Chest tightness, pain or pressure

However, not every person with asthma has the same symptoms. Your asthma symptoms may also vary from one asthma attack to the next, being mild during one and severe during another.

AMENORRHEA

Amenorrhea is the medical term for the absence of menstrual periods, either on a permanent or temporary basis. The menstrual cycle can be influenced by many internal factors such as transient changes in hormonal levels, illness, as well as external or environmental factors. Missing one menstrual period is rarely a sign of a serious problem or an underlying medical condition, but amenorrhea of longer duration may signal the presence of a disease or chronic condition.

Menopause is confirmed only when a woman does not menstruate for 12 consecutive months. Menopause usually happens between 45 and 55 years of age, with average of 51 years, though it can happen before or after that.

Menopause is a natural process, but may present with premenopausal uneasy symptoms like, hot flashes, mood swings, menorrhagia or metrorrhagia, etc, that may severely deteriorate the quality of life of a woman.

ALLERGY

This is a chronic condition where your body reacts in an abnormal way. This reaction to allergens is called as allergy. Allergens are normally the harmless substances but sometimes your body may face these reactions. Our immune system finds these allergens (invaders) and initiates a chain reaction. IgE antibodies are produced by WBCs. These antibodies release histamine (potent chemical) that can further cause symptoms like tearing eyes, runny/stuffy nose, sneezing, itching and so on.

People get affected by the allergic reaction that is triggered by allergens (dust, pollens and so on). Allergy can be seasonal or perennial (can occur anytime, not season specific).

Seasonal allergy is season specific like Hay Fever is an allergic reaction that is triggered by pollens in spring season.

Most of the people suffer from allergic reactions but they can try the homeopathic medicines to get rid of those allergies. If you take proper homeopathic treatment diligently and regularly, then it may help in treating allergic issues:
