Glossary Immune Regulation

processes that control immune system activity and balance

Immune Regulation, also known as immune system regulation or regulation of immune response, refers to the complex processes that control the activity and balance of the immune system. This involves mechanisms that activate immune responses to fight infections and diseases, as well as those that suppress these responses to prevent overactivity that could lead to autoimmune diseases, such as alopecia areata, where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles.

community Telogen Effluvium/Chronic TE and immune-related hair loss advice

5 upvotes 8 years ago

Chronic Telogen Effluvium can be managed by avoiding inflammatory foods, exercising, staying hydrated, and using supplements like krill oil, saw palmetto, or licorice root. Minoxidil is discouraged due to its cost and potential for worsening hair loss, while castor oil is recommended to strengthen hair roots and reduce shedding.

community Hair loss after COVID or vaccination isn’t “made up” but it’s also not what TikTok makes it sound like

2 upvotes 8 months ago

COVID and COVID vaccination can trigger hair loss, primarily telogen effluvium, due to stress and immune system activation. Proper diagnosis and addressing factors like nutrition and stress are crucial for recovery.
