May 2026 in “International Journal of Homoeopathic Sciences” This paper reviews the potential of Individualized Homeopathic Medicine (iHOM) as a treatment for Alopecia Areata (AA) and Alopecia Universalis (AU), chronic autoimmune conditions causing hair loss. Conventional treatments often have temporary effects and high relapse rates, whereas iHOM offers a holistic approach by addressing immune dysregulation. The review of clinical cases and studies shows that iHOM can lead to complete hair regrowth in refractory AA cases, with significant reductions in Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) scores and no relapses within 5 to 12 months. Although AU is resistant to standard therapies, integrative case reports indicate successful hair follicle rejuvenation with homeopathic remedies. The study concludes that iHOM has significant therapeutic potential for alopecia, but emphasizes the need for large-scale, randomized controlled trials to validate these findings.
