A Case of Telogen Effluvium Cured by Individualized Medicine

The document discusses a case of a 42-year-old male patient suffering from acute telogen effluvium, a condition characterized by sudden scalp hair loss, which was triggered by severe stress due to business issues. The patient experienced severe itching in the scalp region and increased hair fall, especially during washing, oiling, and massaging the scalp. After a thorough case history recording, analysis, and evaluation of the symptoms, the patient was prescribed Natrum muriaticum, a homeopathic medicine. After 14 days, the same dose was given followed by a placebo for another 14 days. The placebo was continued for 3 months, during which hair growth started in the previously visible scalp area. After 3 months, there was complete hair growth in the previously visible scalp area.
