DESCRIPTION.
Technical field of invention:
The present invention in general relates to the field of homeopathy treatment. More particularly relates to the homeopathic composition used for the treatment of hair fall.
Prior art
In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the use of non-allopathic compositions and therapeutic regimens for the treatment of hair fall referred to generally as complementary and alternative medicines (CAM). Use of alternative medical approaches and medicines, such as homeopathy, is widespread.
The history of homeopathy dates back to the eighteenth century and the research of the German physician Samuel Hahnemann, who postulated the principle of “like cures like.” In the nineteenth century, Hugo Paul Friedrich Schultz postulated that toxins can have the opposite effect in small doses compared to large doses. In 1888, Schultz showed that very low concentrations of yeast toxins increased yeast growth over 100 fold. At the same time, the psychiatrist Rudolph Arndt developed his “Basic Law of Biology,” which states that weak stimuli slightly accelerate the vital activity, middle-strong stimuli raise it, strong stimuli suppresses it, and very strong stimuli halt vital activity. These separate observations were formulated by Arndt in 1888 into one of the earliest laws of pharmacology representing the homeopathic effect, the Arndt-Schultz rule, which states: every stimulus on a living cell elicits an activity, which is inversely proportional to the intensity of the stimulus. This law was later restated by Ferdinand Hueppe as: for every substance, small doses stimulate, moderate doses inhibit, and large doses kill.
Allopathic medicine, with its emphasis on moderate drug doses, works to inhibit undesired physical symptoms and to kill undesired pathogens. Homeopathic

medicine, in contrast, begins with small doses and moves towards progressively higher dilutions to stimulate the body's own natural electromagnetic forces. One of the basic tenets of homeopathic medicine is that a cure for a disease can be evoked by using a high dilution medicine that resembles, yet is distinct from, the cause of the disease. Thus, homeopathic practitioners often utilize extremely high dilutions of hormones or cells as a remedy to a disease.
The treatment of dermatological problems related to hair loss has been a topic of considerable study. The most widely used treatment at the present time is topical application of minoxidil (Rogaine™) for restoration of hair loss on the crown of the head of individuals with male pattern androgenic baldness of hereditary origin. The method has several disadvantages. The hair produced is usually short, thin, and often discolored. The hair loss resumes as soon as the treatment with minoxidil is discontinued. That treatment does not alleviate unattractive appearance of hair that arises from an abnormally dry or oily scalp.
Object:
1. The primary object of the present invention is to provide ahomeopathic composition for the treatment of hair fall.
2. Another object of the present invention is to provide a homeopathic composition with no systemic side effects.
3. Another object of the present invention is to provide a comfortable and tension free life to the patients by giving such a composition.
4. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a homeopathic composition at a reasonable cost and via convenient delivery systems to a large patient population.

Other objects, features and advantages will become apparent from detail description and appended claims to those skilled in art.
STATEMENT:
Accordingly present invention provides a homeopathic composition for the treatment of hair fall. Homeopathy is a system of medicine which involves treating the individual with highly diluted substances. According to present invention, homeopathic composition comprises of Amloki Q, Arnica Q, China Q, Cantharis Q, Ceonanthus Q, Cochlearia Armoracia Q, Brahmi Q, Eclipta erecta Q.
Detailed description:
Hair loss, also known as alopecia or baldness, refers to a loss of hair from part of the head or body. Typically at least the head is involved. The severity of hair loss can vary from a small area to the entire body. Typically inflammation or scarring is not present. Hair loss in some people causes psychological distress.
Common types include: male-pattern hair loss, female-pattern hair loss, alopecia areata, and a thinning of hair known as telogen effluvium. The cause of male-pattern hair loss is a combination of genetics and male hormones, the cause of female pattern hair loss is unclear, the cause of alopecia areata is autoimmune, and the cause of is telogen effluvium is typically a physically or psychologically stressful event. Telogen effluvium is very common following pregnancy.
Less common causes of hair loss without inflammation or scarring include the pulling out of hair, certain medications including chemotherapy, HIV/AIDS, hypothyroidism, and malnutrition including iron deficiency. Causes of hair loss that occurs with scarring or inflammation include fungal infection, lupus

erythematosus, radiation therapy, and sarcoidosis. Diagnosis of hair loss is partly based on the areas affected.
Treatment of pattern hair loss may simply involve accepting the condition. Intervention that can be tried include the medications minoxidil or finasteride, and hair transplant surgery. Alopecia areata may be treated by steroid injections in the affected area but these need to be frequently repeated to be affective. Hair loss is a common problem. Pattern hair loss by age 50 affects about half of males and a quarter of females. About 2% of people develop alopecia areata at some point in time
Homeopathy is a system of medicine which involves treating the individual with highly diluted substances, given in tablet form, it mainly treat the patients, not the disease. The present invention provides homeopathic composition for the treatment of hair fall. The composition basically comprises of Amloki Q, Arnica Q, China Q, Cantharis Q, Ceonanthus Q, Cochlearia Armoracia Q, Brahmi Q, Eclipta erecta Q.
1. Amloki Q In Ayurvedic medicine, Amalaki is considered to be one of the best herbs to use for rejuvenation. It is a major ingredient in Chywanprash, an Ayurvedic (a form of alternative medicine in use primarily in the Indian subcontinent) herbal jam best known for its ability to help reverse the aging process. Amalaki juice contains almost twenty times as much vitamin C as orange juice, making it the best natural source of the antioxidant vitamin. It is the richest natural source of Vitamin C. The amount of Vitamin C in Amalaki is four times more than there is in Oranges and eight time more than there is in Tomatoes. It is so rich that the Vitamin does NOT get destroyed whether you burn or dry it. This Vitamin C is naturally combined with bioflavanoids and other unique molecules which increases its potency at least 10 times over synthetic Vitamin C. It is well known how necessary Vitamin C is for our system, besides keeping the system clean of the various germs, it provides

resistance power to the body. It is also an ingredient in Triphala, an Ayurvedic bowel tonic. Traditionally, it has been used in treating skin diseases, lung conditions, diabetes and ingestion.
2. Arnica Q is a medicinal herb, which is used in homoeopathic medicine and also in shampoos, gels, tonics etc. it has been used since ages for its wide range benefits. The flowers of this plant ha great medicinal value. Their extracts are used in homoeopathic medicines and the flowers are also used as raw.
3. Brahmi is used as a nerve tonic and an aid to learning. Brahmi is a well-known drug in the Ayurvedic medical tradition in India, and is used in many Ayurvedic herbal preparations. It has been traditionally used to treat asthma, hoarseness, insanity, epilepsy, and as a nerve tonic, cardiotonic, and diuretic.

Additional advantages and modification will readily occur to those skilled in art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspect is not limited to specific details and representative embodiments shown and described herein. Accordingly various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general invention concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
