Understanding alopecia areata
What it is, and what we look at
Alopecia areata typically begins as one or more coin-sized bald patches on the scalp or beard, with skin that looks otherwise normal. It is autoimmune in origin, not caused by hair products or washing. Hair often regrows on its own, sometimes white at first, but the condition can also relapse.
It is associated with other autoimmune conditions such as thyroid disease and vitiligo, so screening is sometimes appropriate. The psychological effect can be substantial, particularly when patches are visible, and that is taken as seriously as the skin finding itself.
Symptoms
You may recognise these
Causes & triggers
What tends to be behind it
- Autoimmune attack on the hair follicle
- Genetic predisposition and family history
- Association with thyroid disease, vitiligo and other autoimmune conditions
- Severe physical or emotional stress as a reported trigger
- Viral illness preceding onset in some cases
When to see a doctor promptly
Homeopathic treatment is not the right first step for these. Seek medical assessment if:
- Patches spread rapidly or merge into large areas
- Eyebrow, eyelash or body hair is also lost
- There is accompanying fatigue, weight change or skin depigmentation
How we work
Our approach at the clinic
Individualised prescribing
Homeopathy selects a remedy for the person, not only the diagnosis. Two patients with the same condition often receive different remedies.
Detailed case taking
Your first visit covers medical history, family history, current medication, diet, sleep and stress — all of it informs the prescription.
Works alongside your doctor
We never ask you to stop prescribed medication on your own. Any change is made gradually and in consultation with your treating physician.

Common questions
Asked before the first visit
In limited patchy alopecia areata, spontaneous regrowth within a year is common. Extensive or long-standing disease is less predictable. Neither outcome can be promised in an individual case.

Talk to a doctor about your case
Bring your reports and current prescriptions. The first consultation is a full case assessment, and you will be told plainly if another specialist is the better route.
