Hair growth is closely linked to hormonal balance. When hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones, cortisol, or androgens fluctuate, the hair growth cycle is disturbed.
Instead of growing and strengthening, hair enters the shedding phase prematurely, leading to excessive hair fall and thinning.
Hormonal hair loss is common in:
- PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
- Thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism)
- Post-pregnancy (postpartum hair loss)
- Menopause or perimenopause
- Chronic stress and adrenal fatigue
- Long-term hormonal medications
What makes hormonal hair loss especially distressing is that no amount of external hair care alone can stop it, because the root cause lies inside the body.
Common Signs of Hormonal Hair Loss
- Sudden increase in daily hair fall
- Hair thinning on the crown or parting
- Widening of hair partition
- Hair fall with acne, irregular periods, or weight changes
- Hair loss with fatigue, anxiety, or mood swings
- Hair fall after childbirth or stopping hormonal pills
If you relate to these, your hair loss is likely systemic, not cosmetic.
How Homeopathy Helps in Hormonal Hair Loss
Homeopathy works from within, addressing the hormonal and emotional imbalance responsible for hair fall.
Instead of forcing regrowth artificially, homeopathy:
- Regulates the endocrine (hormonal) system
- Improves blood supply to the scalp
- Reduces stress-induced hair fall
- Strengthens hair roots naturally
- Restores normal hair growth cycle
Most importantly, homeopathy is:
- Non-hormonal
- Non-addictive
- Safe for long-term use
- Individualized, not one-size-fits-all
