Abstract

Alopecia totalis is a severe autoimmune hair disorder with profound psychosocial impact and limited sustained response to conventional therapy. This case report documents a young female with long-standing alopecia areata progressing to alopecia totalis, associated with hypothyroidism, menstrual irregularities, and marked emotional vulnerability since childhood. Despite previous interventions, including conventional treatments, improvement was unsatisfactory. An individualized classical homeopathic approach was adopted, based on totality of symptoms and long-term follow-up. Gradual but sustained hair regrowth, stabilization of disease activity, and marked improvement in quality of life were observed. This case demonstrates a clear transformation achieved under individualized homeopathic care at Dr Batra’s Homeopathy Clinic.
