Vitiligo Home made Remedies

Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder that creates white patches on your skin. These white patches are produced because of the destruction of the melanocytes that are present in the basal layer of skin. Vitiligo is not curable but the good thing about it is that it is not physically harmful. The white patches or blotches created by vitiligo can be re-pigmented. Several different methods are presently available that can help in re-pigmentation.

I would like to discuss some of these ingredients can be used to re-pigment skin naturally so that people with vitiligo can re-pigment their skin using home made remedies. First of all you should understand that most of the diseases are caused due to some deficiency in our body and it is found that people with vitiligo have deficiency of vitamin B12. For this purpose you can vitamin-B complex that contains each of the major B vitamins, folic acid, vitamin B12 and vitamin C daily.

Another way is to use psoralen either topically or orally and then expose your skin to sunlight. It sensitizes your skin to the tanning effect of sunlight and when you expose your skin to sunlight it helps in re-pigmentation.

You can also eat dried figs, dried figs are found useful in re-pigmenting the skin. It contains richest fiber, copper, manganese, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and vitamin K.

You can eat Indian wormseed daily during the season with a chapatti or rice and use its juice over spots daily for at least two to three times. It is a powerful anthelminthic expelling almost all types of intestinal worms.

These remedies are found useful for re-pigment vitiligo but the results of these remedies may vary from person to person depending on the type of skin.
