Herbal and natural treatment success stories?
I have had alopecia areata for about 6 years now and had lost most of the hair on my head, but am at the stage now where i have several patches of dark hair, several patches of white fuzzy hair and only a couple with no hair. This gives me hope but i want more progress and am determined to make this happen.
I am not interested in steroid injections anymore or chemical medications so I am starting to try different herbal and natural remedies.
I want to hear your success (or failure) stories. Tell me what remedies have helped you and what remedies did nothing.
Right now I am taking silica gel, using essential oils for shampoo and massage, drinking kombucha tea and a couple other things here and there.
I'm starting to get the feeling that applying things topically as well as taking things internally are part of the trick..thoughts?
Thank you! <3

Hi KimF4L, It's starting to work. Check out my rather long comment on page 3 of this blog. ;)

I lost all my hair between Feb 2011 and May 2011 so I am really hoping this will turn things around. =/

Hi Elsa,
I sent in my pictures and full story and he took the case...I hope I did not just waste a lot of money =(

I hope, KimF4L, that you did the right thing, i chatted with them online and was told so...just said that i have universalis, and they said NO to me....then i read on the site that they do not deal with totalis forms, but maybe your case is not that difficult! )

Wow! 300.00 is a lot of money. Should just find an Indian store and buy the same herbals for a lot cheaper. Hope there's a money back guarantee ladies.

ugh =(

No, there is no money back guarantee. There is never any guarantee with natural remedies and from my experience, there is definitely no guarantee with what traditional medicine can provide - yet we trust it. Before I started using these oils my hair was coming out in handfuls. Soon after starting the treatment, it stopped. That's my experience. Also, $300 is really cheap compared to the many hundreds of dollars I've handed over to other Naturopaths and Acupuncturists in the past 8 years - with absolutely no results. Dr. Shah would not sell anyone his products unless he had some hope that they would work for them. I have had several email conversations with him and I totally believe that his prime objective is to help people like us - not to rip us off. I asked him today about his policy on AU and this is what he provided me:
• Herbal therapy gives excellent results in primary alopecia areata, mild transient alopecia areata, transient alopecia areata
• Ophiasis pattern is tough to treat and some get results but not all
• Alopecia totalis and universalis is toughest to treat and success rate is very low ..
• We do not recommend to try herbal therapy for those patients who have had history of Alopecia totalis/universalis for the past 3 years or more time...This is a very honest response. My guess is that since Kim's hair fell out very rapidly and very recently, he thought it was worth a try. I say why not?....it's not intrusiveness and it's all natural. All the best Kim.
