      <abstract>
        <p>Telogen effluvium is a scalp disorder characterized by diffuse, non-scarring shedding of hair. The 
term ‘telogen effluvium’ was proposed to differentiate it from excessive shedding of normal club hair. Various 
hypothesis is put forward regarding the pathophysiology of Telogen effluvium. Headington proposed that there 
are five different functional types of Telogen effluvium based on alterations in particular phase of follicular cycle. 
Whiting defined chronic telogen effluvium as an idiopathic disorder. Telogen effluvium is different from the hair 
loss disorder called alopecia areata. Large amounts of a person’s hair might fall out, but it is often temporary, and 
the  hair usually grows back. Research question: Is there any difference in action of Arnica Montana mother 
tincture and Wiesbaden mother tincture when given as local application with Individualised Homeopathic 
medicine for hair fall in females of 18-45 years of age? Aim: To study the difference of effectiveness between 
external application of Arnica Montana Q and Wiesbaden Q with Individualised Homoeopathic medicine in 
management of Telogen effluvium. Objectives:Primary: 1) To find reduction in hair fall.  
2) To study the effectiveness of local application of Arnica Montana mother tincture along with Homeopathic 
Individualized medicine. 3) To study the effectiveness of local application of Wiesbaden mother tincture along 
with Homeopathic Individualized medicine. Secondary: To compare the effectiveness of external application of 
Arnica Montana Q and Wiesbaden Q along with Individualised Homeopathic medicine for Telogen effluvium in 
females. Method: With the help of pull test &amp; Daily Hair Count criteria we screened approximately 50 People, 
out of which 46 were selected. To conduct study we made two group, group A (Arnica Q) &amp; group B (Wiesbaden 
Q) along with Individualised Homoeopathic medicine. The selection of mother tincture for the selected patient 
was done randomly. Result: Reduction of hair fall was observed according to Pull test. In Paired t test, calculated 
t value for group A is 7.03 (table value is 2.07) and calculated t value for group B is 6.04 (table value is 2.07) 
both t value exceed table t value.</p>
