The way i heal my alopecia areata

I was diagnosed with alopecia areata a few years ago while I was in college. my roommate discovered a bold spot of 3 inches in diameter, I freaked out and started to panic. It was at a time right before the final exams and I was in my third year of college contemplating whether i should switch my major. at the time, I drank case after cases of energy drinks to stay up at night and study. slowly, over the course of the next month, I lost more than 60% of the hair and had asked my brother to simply shave my head, i was very depressed but at the same time I knew I had to relax myself and find ways to relieve my stress. fortunately my family and friends were extremely supportive as well. I also had regular shots of some type of steroids injected on my scalp by a dermatologist. A combination of support, knowing ways to relax and destress yourself, and medical help, 2 months later my hair started to grow back, and since then I had one incident where the bold spot was so tiny that it went away very quickly. I have always been someone who tend to analyze things over and over, now I look at things in different perspectives and i evaluate things rationally instead of being stubborn and repeat the same thing in my head.
Some hair products safe with alopecia areata:
if i had this problem i would wash my hair in the purest soap form possible and that would be something called Green Soft Soap which might be available in chemist or pharmacy. i have an old book and it says that for hair restorers there is a choice of lavender, lime, nasturtium, nettle and thyme so maybe you could ask at a Herbalist or Health Food store/shop and see what they have got there for hair
