The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Alopecia
Hi:I am suffering from intense hair loss and also noticed that I have a 3 bald patches on the left side of my head - it started all of a sudden - seems like alopecia.
My daughter also had something similar 2-3 mths back that when showed to the doctor was diagnosed as 'ring worm' infection - I was able to cure it for her
by using an application of 'apple cider vinegar' my daughter has hair regrown now.
At first I thought that I also had the same 'ring worm' infection - so tried to cure with 'apple cider vinegar' - but this one seems to be different.
Looking at the amount of hair in my hair brush after I have head bath - it seems that all my hairs are going to fall very quickly. The rate of hair falling
is somewhere around 200-300 hair strands per day. I am scared because my long hair - are almost half their original length and volume.
I have started taking in vitamin b, I have shortage of Vitamin D but other than that my doc say that everything is fine.
Any advise/help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Dear kpadam,
Take Hold of following Medicine in liquid dilution.
1) Selenium 200.
2) Echinacea Q (Mother Tincture)
>> For your hair problem:
1) Take two doses of selenium 200 early in the morning and before going to bed.
2) Repeat 1 for three days.
(As far as possible avoid use of your nails/ fingers when there is a itching feeling in the scalp.)
>> For your acne problems do the following on daily bases:
Before going to bed do the following:
Wash you face with good face wash (do not use soap). Pat dry.
Take a cotton ball put some drops of Echinacea Q (Mother Tincture) gently apply the medicine on the acne and leave it overnight.
One dose means:
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.
Please follow homeopathy restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, and no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.
>> Please stop washing your hair with soda. Instead use mild baby shampoo (Herbal will do). Let the hair dry naturaly, do not use hot air to dry your hair please.
Update on daily basis is very much required.
Regards,
Nikkie.

Thanks Nikkie for the detailed response. So I have to take medicine only for three days for the hair
and I would definately stop using soda for hair wash - is there any recommendation for any shampoo...
Also here in our area we get pills and not the liquid form generally would that be ok...also you mentioned
Selenium 200 and in the detail dosage plan - you have mentioned Selenium 30 - which one should I be taking.
Thanks again!!

Dear Kpadam,
Let us see how your system accept this medicine ! So, initially for three days is OK.
You can use any mild herbal base shampoo for cleaning your hair. Avoid combing your hair when it is still wet. Once dry gently try to move comb.
I am sorry my mistake, it is selenium 200. If possible try to arrange in liquid dilution. Mother tincture will always be in liquid dilution.

Nikkie.
