Alopecia areata- how to treat?
-
Hello, I am 30 years old. I have patchy hair loss. For last 3-4 months, coin-sized patches of hair began to fall out, mainly from the scalp. Hair growth is badly affected, including the beard and eyelashes. I don't know what to do. I have got clinical opinion also. Doctor said that I have got alopecia areata disease. Is there any home remedy to cure this condition. Please suggest some.

@abhideep As conventional treatments for alopecia are extremely limited, studies that support natural treatments for alopecia are even thinner on the ground.
There are some people that recommend rubbing onion or garlic juice, cooled green tea, almond oil, rosemary oil, honey, or coconut milk into the scalp. While none of these are likely to cause harm, their effectiveness is also not supported by research.
Some people turn to alternative treatment methods such as acupuncture and aromatherapy, although there is little, if any, evidence to support these treatments.
