Thyroid Disorders & Hair Loss

The thyroid gland plays a critical role in regulating your body’s metabolism, energy levels, and hair growth. Imbalances in thyroid hormones can disrupt the hair cycle, causing excessive shedding, thinning, or brittle strands. In the UAE, thyroid disorders are becoming increasingly common, especially among women (MOHAP UAE, 2023).

Dr Batra’s^® has over 40 years of expertise in managing thyroid-related hair issues through personalised homeopathic care. Our approach treats both the underlying thyroid condition and its impact on hair health using safe, non-invasive remedies.

What is the Thyroid Gland?

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of your neck. It produces key hormones: T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine), which regulate metabolism, energy levels, and the growth of cells including hair follicles.

How Thyroid Disorders Affect Hair Health

Thyroid hormones influence the growth-resting cycle of hair follicles. When these hormones are imbalanced, the hair enters the resting phase (telogen) prematurely, leading to increased shedding.

Hypothyroidism and Hair Thinning

Common Symptoms:

• Fatigue, cold sensitivity, weight gain
• Depression and dry skin
• Hair thinning, especially on the scalp and eyebrows

Hair Loss Pattern:

Hair becomes dry, brittle, and thins evenly across the scalp. Eyebrow hair, particularly the outer third, may also thin noticeably.

Hyperthyroidism and Hair Loss

Symptoms:

• Anxiety, weight loss, palpitations, insomnia
• Increased sweating and heat sensitivity
• Brittle hair and general thinning

Hair Loss Pattern:

Hair loss occurs diffusely across the scalp. Hair may feel finer and more fragile due to accelerated hair cycle.

Diagnosis of Thyroid-Related Hair Loss

A combination of blood tests (TSH, T3, T4), physical symptoms, and medical history helps diagnose thyroid disorders. Early identification of autoimmune thyroid-related hair loss allows for timely treatment to help stabilise hormone levels and reduce further hair fall.

Treatment Options for Thyroid-Related Hair Loss

Conventional treatments often include hormone replacement or antithyroid medications. However, they may not directly address hair regrowth.

Homeopathic treatment for thyroid-related hair loss focuses on improving thyroid function and hair recovery by restoring balance naturally.

For symptoms like anxiety, heat intolerance, and insomnia, homeopathy calms the overactive thyroid while supporting healthy hair growth.

Self-Help Tips for Supporting Hair Health
