Telogen effluvium (TE) and chronic telogen effluvium (CTE)
Telogen effluvium [TE] is a form of non-scarring alopecia characterized by diffuse hair shedding, often with an acute onset.

Telogen effluvium (TE) and chronic telogen effluvium (CTE)
When excessive amounts of hair simultaneously switch from anagen (growth) into telogen (dormancy) and subsequently shed several months later, the phenomenon is referred to as a telogen effluvium. Telogen effluviums can be acute or chronic. When the shedding lasts more than six months or persistently recurs, it is referred to as a chronic telogen effluvium. Chronic telogen effluviums have been reported mainly in women. Chronic telogen effluvium was first reported at a conference (Alopecia, Washington DC, November 1996) and later published as a newly identified diffuse form of hair loss in women Very rarely has chronic telogen effluvium been reported in men. Unlike other types of telogen effluvium, the initial onset can be quite sudden. This form of hair loss can gradually become quite extensive, all over scalp and known as permanent changes.

Guarantee is a marketing word which is being used to increase sale of commercial products. Ayurveda treatment is based on basic nature of the patient so it is difficult to give any type of guarantee about the results. Result may vary from person to person. In most cases, herbal therapy takes 4-6 months to start showing its effect however in few cases, it may take 9-12 months. Duration of the treatment could be variable in each individual.
I have seen few pictures about the results of herbal therapy on your site www.alopeciacure.com. Can i expect same results in my case ?
Entire Ayurvedic herbal science is based on basic nature (Prakruti) which can be different in each individual so results may vary from person to person. One can not compare the result with others.
