Homeopathy at its best for Hair fall disorders

Amongst all these causes of hair fall we understand that about 90% of the causes are internal causes or causes not directly related to the hair. Then, why do we resort to local means for treatment of such a disorder? Hairfall is the external expression of the internal dismay.

No wonder we keep getting patient of hair loss with a mere temporary relief and the complaints recurring again and again. A disease with such high cosmetic significance needs to be handled in a very defined and meticulous manner.
