Abstract

Alopecia areata is a common autoimmune disorder that often results in unpredictable hair loss. The most common form of Alopecia treatment is the use of corticosteroids, powerful anti-inflammatory drugs that can suppress the immune system. Long term use of oral steroids is fraught with undesirable side effects. In Ayurveda, Alopecia can be correlated with Indralupta. The present case is about a 7-year-old girl who was diagnosed with Alopecia areata, was treated on lines of Kshudra kushtha roga chikitsa (skin diseases) and Aama janya vyaadhi chikitsa (Auto immune diseases) successfully.
