    🚨 The text mentions new hair growth as a result of Ayurvedic treatment, which is relevant to hair and alopecia, but the primary focus is on systemic sclerosis and overall symptom relief, not specifically on hair-related issues.
    TLDR Ayurvedic treatments can improve symptoms and quality of life for systemic sclerosis patients.
    This case report details the Ayurvedic management of a 45-year-old female with systemic sclerosis, who experienced significant symptom relief after 8 weeks of treatment. Despite previous allopathic treatments, the patient turned to Ayurveda and saw improvements in skin hardening, depigmentation, and new hair growth. The treatment included herbal formulations and dietary changes, which also improved gastrointestinal issues, skin dryness, and psychological well-being. The report concludes that Ayurvedic treatments can improve the quality of life for systemic sclerosis patients, though long-term follow-up is needed for sustained results. The patient's perspective supports these findings, noting improvements in stiffness, appetite, and overall well-being.
