Amanda, once I tried an ayurvedic treatment with essential oils (four essential oils, mixed with two carrier oils) but my scalp was very itchy, and it turned red in some places . It was a very uncomfortable sensation.I think it was a kind of allergy. I did it for three weeks, and then I stopped . Perhaps, I´ll try it again, for a longer time. I don´t know...

Jamie Jo- I look forward to hearing about your results with that. I haven't heard of it, good luck!

Hi...my 12 year old daughter has alopecia areata and has had 2 "épisodes" in her life. They seemed to coincide with her vaccinations - the 2 years that she had 2 vaccinations in the same year... These probably triggered her alopecia. Anyway this time around, at 12, much more and bigger spots appeared than the first time when she was 3...at that time she had 5-6 smaller bald spots and they regrew very quickly. I was scarred this time because they (her hair) were going fast...I had previously done some allergy elimination with her and my son for seasonal allergies and it worked great so I thought I would bring her to the same practionner to see if this method could work for alopecia. She's had 3 treatments so far and her hair loss seems to be at a stand still...I don't know if it is the treatments or if the hair loss would just have stopped on it's own...hard to say with alopecia. Anyways...NAET did help a great deal with both my kids seasonal allergies so I am somewhat confident that it is helpful...it is natural and promotes holistic wellness...better that filling her up with steroids for now! http://www.naet.com/

Hi Amanda,
I have read that Aromatherapy has helped some people.

As I learn more about Traditional Chinese Medicine, I am realizing that my own problem may be in part to a body heat deficiency - I am always cold - much like what western medicine calls hypothyroidism. The pills I take for my autoimmune hypothyroidism don't seem to be helping my symptoms at all, but with acupuncture and herbs I am increasing the heat and qi in my body. Therefore, blood flow will also incrase. I will post more as I learn more and see how it affects my own regrowth.

I started seeing a chiropractor who does nutritional counseling and I have to say I feel better than I have in years. I recently started losing increased amounts of hair so she put me on some pills that were a more natural form of steroids, closer to what my body would normally produce. Unfortunately, it hasn't done much to slow the falling out. I hope to meet with her again soon to discuss this and see what else she may be able to recommend. She has been amazing at helping quell my stomach problems:)

Also, has anyone heard of essential oils? My friend started selling them and was curious if anyone had any luck using them with alopecia?

No traditional medical person could ever convince me that there is no cure for alopecia or anything else for that matter. Especially where there are so many unknowns. The body is remarkable and can heal itself with the right fuel.
