Shrubmed does not advocate any particular therapy for alopecia areata . These pages are designed to provide pointers to the research. Each person is a unique case, and decisions related to health should be made in conjuction with health professionals.
The fact that an herb is listed here only indicates that it occurs in the same research as alopecia areata . An examination of the research may show that it helps treat alopecia areata , it causes or aggravates alopecia areata or has no effect on the condition.
This is the 1.0 version of Shrubmed (February, 2008). It is very much a work in progress, but will continue to improve.
