The mind and body approach to treat vitiligo

Vitiligo is a result of abnormal immunity. 10% of Indian population suffers from Vitiligo. Occurrence is equal in both sexes and all ages. Exact cause of Vitiligo is unknown but the probable triggering factors are genetics, emotional trauma such as stress, anxiety, fear. Vitiligo can be associated with thyroid, diabetes or any other auto-immune disease.

What is the main vitiligo symptom?

Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder as it causes the color giving cells of the skin to deteriorate to produce milky white patches. In Vitiligo there is a destruction of the skin pigment cells (melanocyte) which gives skin and hair it’s color through the formation of melanin (skin pigment). Melanin protects the skin from harmful effects of UV rays produced by the sun. Vitiligo patches can occur anywhere on the body.

Homeopathic treatment for Vitiligo – The mind and body approach

Homeopathic medicine is prescribed on individual case history so the underlying stress can be effectively treated with homeopathy which can bring about a positive result in the treatment of Vitiligo. In any skin infection, there is often an underlying psychosomatic factor. Homeopathy can help treat this factor very effectively without causing dependence or addiction.
Homeopathic medicines are natural and have no side-effects unlike conventional medicine which could cause severe burns and blistering.
Homeopathic medicine has long lasting results unlike short term results seen in conventional medicines. If the disease is not controlled it can recur. Homeopathy helps to correct the melanin destruction thus prevents recurrence of the disease.
Unlike skin grafts which could cause scarring, homeopathy has not external treatment except the sweet pills which cause no scarring.
Homeopathic medicine helps triggering re-pigmentation and corrects the altered immune response. Associated diseases like thyroid and diabetes can also be controlled with homeopathic medicine and proper diet regime.
Children happily take homeopathic medicines as they are sweet unlike bitter conventional medicines. If Homeopathy is considered as treatment option in the early stage of the disease, then the overall control of the disease in future is much better.
