A cousin forwarded me the number. I had to sms and my appointment would be arranged. I sms’d and was flooded by phone calls, apparently from a call center. I was given the date and time. The place was neat and tidy and had a number of people (patients) waiting. The payment counter and medicines counter are on either side of the waiting hall and in the middle were two receptionists. The receptionist asked me to fill up a form that asked for contact address, phone number, profession and such other details. I was on time but had to wait for two and half hours for my turn to come!
The doctor spoke well and cared to explain the problem with my hair, scalp rather. The interesting part was when he focused a pointed torch and showed me the problem on the monitor. There was some white matter (fungus?!) surrounding the hair at its root ( i.e. the visible end of the hair on the scalp). I was asked to collect the medicine from the counter. Before that i was to meet another doctor in a nearby room. This doctor asked me a number of questions trying to figure out my nature (constitution). I was even asked if i had ever been angry! I felt compelled to ask her if she was psychologist. I knew that homoe-medicine depends a lot on the persons nature but i thought she had gone overboard. This went on for ~15-20 min-she typed, in their software app.(?) my answers to all her questions! I was then asked to go for laser treatment. This facility was in an adjacent room. A person who appeared to be an operator (not a doctor) did the laser treatment. He first applied some liquid that wet my hair. Then he moved a pointed torch kind of a thing over my scalp. This lasted about 5 minutes. Apparently, the treatment is supposed to increase the blood circulation to the scalp!
That was the end of the consultation and treatment. I collected the medicines, paid for a treatment for 6 months. I was also asked not to use strong shampoos. Instead, they asked me to buy dr. batra’s shampoo and conditioner. Johnson’s baby shampoo would also be ok. I was asked to shampoo on alternate days.
After about 3 weeks or so i was asked to visit again. I did not book an appointment. I walked into the clinic and asked how much time it would take. Just ahead of me an aged patient was arguing about the doctors not being the same. Probably he was fed up of explaining his problem and answering the same questions over and over. I got to see the doctor in less than an hour. But the doctor was not the one i had met the first time! However, to my relief he was already going through, i suppose, the notes left by the previous doctors in their software. He had a look at my hair lead his fingers through it and said the fungus was still there. Hair was weak and improvement had yet to happen. He recommended some more medicine (i hadn’t finished the first set yet) and a liquid. The person at the medicine counter explained that i was to mix the liquid with dr. batra’s hair oil and apply it (gently) to the scalp once a week. The liquid and oil are to be mixed in a 1:3 ratio.
Its now more than 4 weeks. I will wait and see if there is improvement. The treatment is supposed to stop hair fall. It wont stimulate new hair growth; i.e. dead follicles wont sprout again 
Will update this post until the end of 6 months.
