How Stress Causes Hair Loss and How Homeopathy Can Help

A few strands of hair falling out of your hair everyday is considered normal. But when you begin finding large bunches in your comb or shower drain, or clumps on your pillow it may be a deeper issue. One of the most under-rated causes for excessive hair fall is stress, and if you find that since you have been going through a rough time your hair has been falling more than usual, you’re not mistaken! Homeopathic hair treatment and care comes to the rescue here.

How Stress Leads To Hair Loss & Homeopathic Hair Care For It

To find out why stress causes hair fall, we need to understand how hair growth works in the body. There are three phases that hair goes through: the growth phase, transition phase and resting phase. Chronically stressful conditions have a way of affecting this cycle by triggering the release of a majority of the hair follicles into the resting phase, all at the same time. Following a few weeks or months of this all the resting follicles begin to shed and hair loss is detected. 

Stress also causes the level of cortisol to increase in the body which can restrict nutrient flow to the hair follicle, decrease the natural condition of the scalp, and can even trigger the onset of an inflammatory state. 

Why Homeopathic Hair Care Is Well-Suited For Stress-Related Hair Loss

Conventional forms of treatment work externally only by focusing on the scalp. But it rarely deals with the internal balance caused by stress. Homeopathic hair care works on both aspects, both internally where it soothes the nerves and treats the physiological imbalance caused by stress, and externally through medicated hair oils, shampoos, and the best homeopathic hair care products that help to nourish the scalp and follicles of the hair.

Homeopathic Hair Care Remedies Commonly Used For Stress-Induced Hair Loss

There are various homoeopathic medicines well known for treating stress-induced hair fall and nervous exhaustion.

Phosphoric Acid- This remedy is used most commonly to treat loss of hair caused due to grief, emotional stress or prolonged intellectual exhaustion, where large quantities of hair are lost and the person feels mentally and physically weak.

Natrum Muriaticum- This remedy is indicated for hair fall due to grief, emotional suppressions or protracted anxieties. This medicine is also commonly recommended where the individual tends to keep the stress to themselves and begin finding thinning of hair near the temples and on the crown.

Lycopodium Clavatum- this remedy is indicated for cases of premature baldness or general loss of hair occurring due to chronically induced stress, hormonal imbalances or weakness of the digestive organs. Loss of hair accompanied by loss of confidence and weakness is an indication for Lycopodium Clavatum.

Arnica Montana- Arnica is known to treat hair fall as it improves blood circulation. Lack of blood circulation means restricted supply of nutrients and oxygen, thus, Arnica makes a great ingredient for homoeopathic hair care treatments as it is often incorporated in most formulas, helping with the flow of blood to the scalp.

Wiesbaden: Used specifically in Homeopathic hair oil preparations, Wiesbaden is indicated for premature greying, excessive hair fall, and general scalp weakness. It works to revitalise the hair follicle at a deeper level and is a key ingredient in several trusted Homeopathic hair care formulas.

The Role Of Homeopathic Hair Oil And Shampoo In Daily Care

Beyond oral remedies, topical homeopathic hair care products play an important supporting role. A good homeopathic hair oil massaged regularly into the scalp improves blood flow, reduces dryness, and feeds the follicles with active botanical ingredients. Similarly, a homeopathic shampoo formulated with medicinal herbs cleanses the scalp without stripping its natural oils, which is especially important for stress-affected hair that is already fragile and prone to breakage.
