Treatment of alopecia goes back centuries. In ancient times used decoctions nettle, birch leaves, horsetail and bamboo for rinsing hair, but later began to prepare the oil extract of burdock root (burdock oil) and lubricate bald skin. Only now with the development of science are clear mechanisms for the beneficial effect of these plants. Apart Phytoncidic effect on skin bacteria (cocci, fungi), tanning and adsorption effects, these plants are kremnefillami, and in the medical aspect - donors organically bound silicon (Si). So far, there was a certain set of drugs and medical procedures that are used to treat alopecia areata. First of all, it concerns parenteral vitamin B (B1, B2, B6), i / m injections of aloe juice, UV-irradiation (PUVA), regular massage or kriovozdeystviya liquid nitrogen affected area. As a rule, the result of interventions is poor. Exception was patchy baldness with primary sources, able to self-destruct without any help. Significant damage brought ointments and creams that contain irritating substances (tincture of pepper, the juice of onion or garlic), who were appointed for home treatment. It was believed that these tools improve blood circulation and, thus, provide greater nutrition and metabolism in the skin. However, after a brief expansion of the capillaries occurred more prolonged vasoconstriction and damage to the device membranoretseptornogo cells (the skin becomes thinner, becoming smooth and shiny). In addition, skin irritation was accompanied by increased capillary permeability, which contributed to the penetration of the intercellular substance damaging antibodies, immune complexes, as well as cytolytic lymphocytes from the blood. In addition, onions and garlic, contain diallildisulfid and allicin, can cause allergic reactions, both local and general nature. So far in Europe total alopecia treated by a local allergic reaction.
