      ab: Introduction: Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disease that causes non-scarring hair loss in a single or multiple areas of the scalp, or any area of hair growth, by targeting the body's anagen hair follicles. AA affects people of all ages and accounts for 1-2% of the global population. Individualised homoeopathic treatment could be a safe and affordable therapeutic option for AA. Case Summary: This is a case of a 47-year-old female patient presented with complaints of patchy hair loss over the posterior part of the scalp, predominantly involving the occipital region, for past two years. Individualised homoeopathic medicine, Sulphur, was prescribed after thorough case-taking, which led to improvement in subjective and objective symptoms. Photographs are presented as objective evidence. The Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy (MONARCH) was used to assess potential causal attribution. The overall score (+9) of MONARCH substantiated the possible causal attribution to homoeopathic treatment. In this instance, the case was successfully resolved within 8 months, with no further recurrence. Conclusion: More research with controlled trials is warranted in the future to validate the role of Homoeopathy in the management of AA.
