Introduction
Hair fall is a common issue that affects both men and women, often leading to significant emotional and psychological stress. By the age of 50, approximately 50% of men and 40% of women experience noticeable hair loss. Factors like hormonal imbalances, stress, and underlying health conditions contribute to this problem. Homeopathy offers a holistic approach to address the root causes and support natural hair regrowth.

- Permanent damage to hair follicles.
- Regrowth is unlikely.
