Question 1

can aloepacia be treated completely by homeopathy?

Accepted Answer

In many cases but...: Western medicine does not have reliable treatments for most alopecia so homeopathy is well worth exploring. 
Homeopaths often successfully cure alopecia but there are many possible remedies and only one is likely to be the one that will work, so it is important to find a skilled homeopath. If the first remedy you try does not work that means there is a better fit. See
