Qualified homeopathic physicians consider a detailed history of patient symptoms along with their age and other factors before prescribing the most suitable constitutional medicine to them. Additionally, identifying the miasm or weakness of a person to suffer from a particular disease also helps a homeopathic physician in deciding the correct medicine. A well-selected homeopathic medicine helps by treating the various underlying causes of hair fall such as hormonal imbalance, mental stress, fungal infection or autoimmune disorders. Homeopathic medicines help in the treatment of hair fall caused by anti-cancer and other medicines by reducing the toxicity of these medicines on normal body cells. Along with treating the condition these medicines also improve the general health of the patient. There haven't been many studies that prove the efficiency of homeopathic medicines. 

However, a research study shows that phosphorus is effective in destroying the organism that causes dandruff and successfully reduces dandruff on the scalp.

Another study indicated that sulphur successfully treats dandruff that results in hair fall.
