Hair loss, or alopecia, is a common dermatological condition affecting both men and women worldwide, with a significant psychosocial impact. The condition can be caused by multiple factors, including genetic predisposition, hormonal imbalances such as thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune disorders, stress, and nutritional deficiencies. Homoeopathy offers a holistic approach by addressing both physical and mental aspects of the patient, aiming to restore hair growth, improve scalp health, and enhance overall well-being. This case study highlights a 25-year-old female presenting with chronic hair loss associated with thyroid disorder and rheumatoid arthritis. After the case taking the medicine Sepia officinalis 200 was given as a constitutional medicine along with supportive medication. The improvement was assessed with photographic evidence taken before and after treatment. This study suggests the efficacy of homoeopathic medicines in managing Alopecia areata.
