Synopsis:

A 47 year old female was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata in various hospitals. External and internal medicine had no obvious effect. After inquiring, the author realized that the inducing factor was mental disorder due to her anxiety in finding a job for her son, which caused worries and irritability. At this point she found a lot of hair loss, which suggested that her disease was induced by mental factors relating to endocrine dysfunction. Treatment was a combination of foot and hand reflexotherapy and acupoints. Each session lasted 40-45 minutes; 10 sessions made up one course

Conclusion:

	The treatment brought about satisfactory effect. After 10 sessions, the symptom of hair loss was relieved and stopped after 2 courses. Three courses later, the lesions were covered by new hair.
