Alternative Therapies for Trichotillomania

Trichotillomania is an impulse control or brain disease where the person pulls out their own hair from their scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, or pubic area. The hair can be located anywhere. Some cases of trichotillomania are minor and can be managed with cognitive behavioral therapy and others are very severe and may require hospitalization. This disease can overwhelm the person. It is an emotional disorder that usually needs several therapies in order to be managed successfully.

Trichotillomania seems similar to a bad habit or an addiction. It has many qualities that seem similar to an obsession. Some of the therapies available to treat OCD may work to improve this disease. The disease cannot be managed without paying attention to interrupting the physical symptom of hair pulling. Quieting the mind should be a focus of this treatment. Therapies that quiet the mind include Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong. Yoga or Qi Gong should be done at least three to five days per week for this disease. Medical Qi Gong may also be tried and should be done two times per week for at least one month with a professional. There are not many professionals with training in Medical Qi Gong. They may be found online and the training location is in California.

There are many practitioners trained in Acutonics and these may be located with the help of the Acutonics website. You can purchase the Tibetan Singing Bowls at an Eastern store or online. Tibetan Singing Bowls are extremely good for treating several types of addictions. Chackra alignment with a sound therapy CD may be worth trying.
