Healing Suppressed Emotions and Compulsive Hair-Pulling Through the Depth of Staphysagria - A Classical Homeopathic Case of Trichotillomania

Abstract

A 45-year-old female suffered from trichotillomania for nearly two decades — an unconscious, irresistible urge to pull her own hair, resulting in diffuse baldness. The origin traced back to years of silent humiliation, suppressed anger, and grief following emotional neglect and marital stress. The case demonstrates the power of individualized constitutional prescribing where Staphysagria not only relieved the compulsion but unlocked long-buried emotions, restored self-respect, and triggered visible regrowth of hair within three months. This report emphasizes the holistic curative scope of homeopathy in psychosomatic disorders rooted in emotional trauma
