Patient regained beard hair and confidence with homeopathy at Life Force
On 22 February 2020, a 54-year-old man walked into a Life Force homeopathic clinic, Thane branch (Patient ID: 42276), with a sense of urgency and quiet desperation. His concern wasn''t just cosmetic—it was personal. For the past two weeks, he had been losing patches of beard hair, suddenly and inexplicably. A once full, masculine beard was giving way to smooth, circular patches. The patches on his beard had appeared suddenly and were spreading. No clear ailment or factor could be identified. He was otherwise healthy and emotionally balanced and had no family history of autoimmune conditions. The lesions were soft, non-itchy, and painless, but the psychological impact was deeply felt.
Follow-up May–September 2020
By May 2020, a promising sign emerged—grey hair began to regrow in the patches. But alopecia is seldom a straightforward condition. Over the next few months, the patient experienced both progress and regression. By September, although earlier patches had begun healing, new ones developed on the scalp. Despite the mixed picture, he remained consistent with his remedy, and importantly, no corticosteroids or immunosuppressants were used.
Follow up on Jan 2021 – Jan 2022
The period from January 2021 to early 2022 was a rollercoaster. New patches emerged on the scalp and beard, especially on the right side of the mouth. While older patches healed, new ones appeared, suggesting the disease was dynamic but responding. Notably, by September 2021, all lesions were stable—no further spread, and no hair loss.
Follow-ups:
From March 2022 to September 2022, a shift occurred; although some beard lesions were persistent, there was marked improvement in scalp lesions and parts of the beard and chin. Yet, this period also brought challenges: mustache patches remained stubborn, and a tiny patch appeared on the eyebrow. The patient described his experience as “on and off—slow improvement, but visible positive change.
Follow-up Dec 2022 – July 2023
By December 2022, the patches on the occiput (back of scalp) had reduced by 50%, and beard patches showed steady improvement. In the months that followed, no new patches appeared, and existing lesions began to fill in.
By July 2023, the patient reported no further hair loss, and the spot on his beard was almost completely covered. A small victory—but to him, it meant regaining confidence and normalcy.
Follow up Oct 2023 –
April 2024 Over the next few months, the disease seemed to settle. No new lesions developed, and there was no further hair fall. However, by June 2024, a new lesion below the chin emerged, and the upper lip patch increased in size, likely due to irregularity in treatment while traveling. Yet, the resilience built through previous months of healing was evident—his overall health remained good, and lesions responded positively once he resumed regular care.
Follow-up Sept 2024 – July 2025: The lesion over the upper lip remained the most stubborn. It fluctuated in size and hair density through late 2024 and early 2025, causing some concern. But this period was marked by no spread to new areas and no systemic symptoms. The body was holding its ground.
Finally, by May 2025, early signs of hair regrowth were visible in the upper lip lesion. And in July 2025, the patient walked into the clinic with a smile—the once bare patch on his upper lip was almost completely covered, and no new lesions had emerged. His beard was whole again.
Conclusion:
This case is a compelling example of how chronic autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata respond meaningfully to Life Force homeopathic treatment, especially when managed holistically and patiently. Over the course of 5 years, this patient navigated phases of hope, setback, and steady progress, ultimately achieving a near-complete recovery.
