    TLDR Homoeopathic treatment may help restore hair in Alopecia Areata by balancing the immune system.
    The document presents a case study of a 14-year-old girl suffering from Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune condition causing patchy hair loss. The girl had been experiencing this condition for 9 months. She was treated with individualized homoeopathic medicine for 6 months. The study suggests that homoeopathic treatment can balance the hyperactive immune system that damages hair follicles, leading to hair restoration in bald patches. The treatment's effectiveness is supported by the girl's case, but the document does not provide data on a larger sample size.
