Post-Covid: Hair Loss

Choose a remedy: Choose based on the symptoms that most closely match yours.

Dosage: 6C up to twice daily for up to 30 days. Or, see the Dosage Chart.

Stop taking once your hair fall ceases.
If symptoms change or improvement stalls, try a different remedy, or see a professional homeopath or health care provider.

Notes:

If a self-selected remedy doesn’t help, seek expert help. A doctor will provide a diagnosis to ensure there is no underlying reason like thyroid or iron malabsorption that might cause hair loss and a professional homeopath can evaluate the totality of symptoms to try to find a constitutional remedy.
