A Case Study of Chronic Scalp Folliculitis Treated with Dulcamara
Through Individualised Homoeopathy and Medicine Energy Transmission via Hair
Introduction
Chronic scalp folliculitis is a distressing dermatological condition marked by recurrent painful pustules, itching, hair loss, and secondary infection. When persistent, it significantly affects the patient’s physical comfort, appearance, and self-confidence. Conventional dermatological management often provides only temporary relief, with frequent relapses.
This case highlights the successful management of chronic scalp folliculitis in a young female patient using individualized homoeopathy, supported by the method of medicine energy transmission through hair.

Case Presentation
A young female patient from Raichur District, Karnataka, presented at our clinic on 4th August 2025 with complaints of chronic scalp folliculitis.
Chief Complaints
* Multiple painful follicular eruptions over the scalp
* Purulent discharge from lesions
* Severe itching
* Destruction of hair follicles at affected sites, resulting in patchy hair loss
The condition had become chronic, causing significant emotional distress and loss of confidence.
At the time of consultation, the case was accepted with confidence, and the patient was reassured with the words:
“Aisa theek hoga ki aap pehchaan nahi paayenge”
(“The cure will be so complete that you won’t recognise the disease again.”)
Remedy Selection and Treatment
After a detailed case-taking and evaluation of the totality of symptoms, Dulcamara was selected as the constitutional remedy. The selection was supported by classical materia medica indications, especially for skin eruptions with suppuration, sensitivity, and chronic inflammatory conditions.
* Remedy prescribed: Dulcamara
* Mode of administration: Medicine Energy Transmission through Hair
This non-invasive method was chosen to gently stimulate the vital force and promote deep constitutional healing.

Follow-Up and Progress
Follow-up: 15th September 2025
* Follicular eruptions had dried up
* Pus discharge completely stopped
* Hair regeneration observed at previously affected scalp areas
* No new eruptions reported
The improvement was steady and encouraging.
During interaction, the patient’s family was asked about their experience with the method of medicine energy transmission through hair. They shared that initially they too were skeptical and found it difficult to believe how such a method could work. The patient’s wife (family member) had insisted on visiting Dr. Ravi in person at Lucknow after extensive research on Google. They admitted that most people are shocked when they hear about this method, but the results changed their belief.
Follow-up: 15th December 2025
At the most recent follow-up, the recovery was remarkable:
* The scalp was completely healthy and covered with dense hair
* No eruptions, no itching, no discharge
* The patient had regained her confidence and self-esteem
The parents expressed deep gratitude for the treatment and outcome.
