Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Alopecia areata is a chronic disease characterized by excessive and patchy loss of hair from the scalp of a person. Although a lot of treatment options are available in the allopathy, the presence of various side effects and recurrence of hair loss after stopping the treatment reduces the effectiveness and hence prevents complete cure and increases the patient morbidity. Ayurvedic treatment options provide a better alternative for the management of alopecia areata due to lesser side effects and reduced relapse cases. This case enlightens how a patient of alopecia was effectively managed using ayurvedic medicines.
