Hirsutism may be defined as the terminal hair on the body of women in the same pattern and sequence which develops in the normal post pubertal male, caused by a high level of Androgen in the female. This means excessive growth of hair where normally you wouldn't find hair. And the main reason for Hirsutism is the increase in the male hormone Androgen.

Causes of Hirsutism:

1) Genetic: Inherited growth patterns due to parental growth structure.
2) Racial / climate: people in warm Mediterranean countries tend to have a heavier hair     growth than those from colder climates.
3) Tweezing, waxing, moles and birthmarks.
4) Puberty, Pregnancy and Menopause can cause hirsutism.
5) Women with polyestric ovaries suffer from hirsutism.

There are various treatments for Hirsutism. The common ones are:

a. Plucking;
b. Threading;
c. Waxing;
d. Electrolysis;
e. Use of medicine which are hormonal by nature;
f. And lastly laser therapy for hair removal.

The laser therapy for hair removal is the latest therapy in the world to remove excessive growth of hair. But its efficacy and efficiency is still not proved. The use of a special cream in Homeopathy, using the homeopathic medicine Oleum Jacoris, has proved to give wonderful result in the reduction on the growth of hair in people suffering from Hirsutism.
