Alopecia Universalis Treated with Ayurveda Protocol and Assessed by SALT (Severity of Alopecia Tool) - A Case Report

Abstract

Alopecia Universalis is a condition that causes generalized hair loss in the body. It is associated with nail changes in 10-15 % of Autoimmune origin conditions. Several medicines normalize hair growth, but this condition requires a treatment modality that concentrates on the root cause of hair falling all over the body. Here is a case report about the Ayurvedic approach in a 48-year-old male patient with Alopecia Universalis presented with hair loss all over the body associated with itching. We administered the Ayurveda protocol and Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) criteria assumed before and after assessing clinical output.
