    Sayyed Adnan Mohammad, Saif Ali Siddiqui
    TLDR Unani medicine, including cupping therapy, may effectively regrow hair in Alopecia Areata.
    The study investigates the management of Alopecia Areata using Unani medicine in a 34-year-old male with nonscarring hair loss. The treatment involved Kera Fall hair oil, wet cupping therapy, and oral Unani medications, resulting in complete hair regrowth after 3 months, as indicated by the patient's SALT II score improving from 32% to 0%. The findings suggest that Unani treatments, especially cupping therapy, may be a cost-effective and less invasive option for AA, though further research is necessary to validate their safety and efficacy.
