Powerful Home Remedies for Alopecia Areata

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disease where the immune system, instead of protecting the body, starts attacking it, especially the hair follicles. This sudden hair loss may occur on the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and face, as well as other parts of the body. It usually develops slowly and recurs after years between instances. When the condition is limited to the head, it is referred to as Alopecia Areata Totalis and in rare cases, Alopecia spreads to the whole body, which is called Alopecia Areata Universalis.
