Alopecia is the abnormal loss of hair, which can range from mild shedding to total hair loss on the scalp or body. From a medical perspective, alopecia can be linked to genetic, autoimmune, hormonal, or even emotional factors.
However, in biodecoding, alopecia is associated with emotional conflicts such as separation, devaluation, and loss of protection. It can manifest after experiencing injustice, feeling unrecognized by a paternal figure (real or symbolic), or as a result of an overburdened mind filled with worries and the constant need to control everything.
Hair symbolizes an additional layer of protection for the body. Its loss can be interpreted as a sign that a person has unconsciously or consciously decided to shed that protection following a significant event or decision. In some cases, the underlying fear may be the inability to manage life independently, difficulty asking for support, or the tendency to protect others as a way of masking their own fear of being protected.
A New Mental Model: Reconnecting with Yourself
If you are experiencing hair loss and sense an emotional burden behind it, ask yourself:
Am I trying to protect others to avoid facing my own fears?
Do I really need to control everything?
Am I trusting life and my own process?
Shifting your mindset can help:
“At this very moment, I am safe. I love and approve of myself as I am. I trust life and its process.”
While We Shift Our Mindset… How Do We Take Care of Our Hair?
Hair needs care both from the inside and out. Here are some tips to strengthen it and prevent hair loss:
Nutrient-rich diet: Increase your intake of iron, zinc, biotin, vitamin D, and proteins. Key foods include eggs, spinach, nuts, and fish.
Scalp massages: Stimulate blood circulation and strengthen hair follicles. Use essential oils like rosemary or peppermint to enhance the effect.
Avoid excessive heat and chemicals: Straighteners, dryers, and dyes can weaken hair fibers. Try air-drying your hair and using natural products.
Natural treatments: Masks with aloe vera, castor oil, or onion can help stimulate hair growth.
Get enough sleep and reduce stress: Stress is a major cause of hair loss. Meditation, yoga, or mindful breathing can be valuable tools.
Hydrate inside and out: Drink enough water and use natural conditioners to prevent scalp dryness.
Avoid tight hairstyles: Ponytails and tight braids can weaken hair roots and cause shedding.
Remember: your body is not betraying you, it’s speaking to you. Are you willing to listen?
Hope these tips help you, and try to talk to yourself in a more compassionate way. Let me know how it goes!
With love Ana!
