Review of permanent medication due topossible effect on the existing disease.
Avoidance of psychosocial stress:

Conventional non-surgical therapy methods
Immunotherapy/phototherapy for alopecia areata (circular hair loss): in the dermatology department of Ulm University Hospital, patients with circular hair loss had a herbal substance (8-methoxypsoralen) dissolved in alcohol and then applied to the patient’s head by towel “turban” for twenty minutes. The area was then treated with UVA rays. This artificial sunburn resulted in a positive effect on the immune system and, if necessary, allows the hair to grow back.
Nutritional counseling based on nutritional analysis
Dietary recommendations according to a mixed diet taking into account the disease at hand. This means:
A total of 5 servings of fresh vegetables and fruits daily (≥ 400 g; 3 servings of vegetables and 2 servings of fruits).
Eating ≥ 3 times per week of raw vegetables (OR 0.43 95% CI 0.21-0.89, p = 0.02) and fresh herbs (regularly eating ≥ 3 times of herbs, OR 0.44; 95% CI 0.22-0.87, p = 0.02) was associated with a protective effect for alopecia androgenetica; comparison subjects were those who consumed raw vegetables twice or less per week and who did not use fresh herbs.
Fresh sea fish once or twice a week, i.e., fatty marine fish (omega-3 fatty acids) such as salmon, herring, mackerel.
