Treating Vitiligo With Natural Remedies
Vitiligo is a skin disease that affects thousands of people around the world. It is characterized by the appearance of white spots on the skin, due to the disappearance of the natural pigmentation of the skin, melanin. However, it is possible to cure vitiligo.
First of all, you should know that the problem can manifest itself in any part of the body, even if the spots tend to appear mainly on the area of the hands and face. Here are some strategies for curing Vitiligo using natural products.
Causes of Vitiligo
Although the causes of vitiligo have not yet been clearly established by medical research, what is certain is that this problem is caused by the disappearance of the skin’s melanocytes.
There are four theories on the origin of this disease, according to which the different causes could be:
- the presence of abnormal cells in the nervous system, which would generate toxic substances capable of damaging melanocytes;
- the perception of melanocytes as foreign agents by the immune system of our body;
- self-destruction of melanocytes due to toxins produced by the body;
- a genetic defect that would make melanocytes more susceptible to attack.
Some tips to cure vitiligo
The first advice in these cases is to contact your dermatologist, as this is the most suitable specialist to treat the problem and cure vitiligo once and for all. A dermatological treatment, in fact, is ideal for those who do not want to be treated with natural methods or are not confident in their results.
On the other hand, we recommend that you maintain a healthy lifestyle and think positively. Being relaxed, avoiding stress, taking a vacation, playing sports or meditation, etc., are excellent remedies for the appearance of spots.
Avoid exposing yourself to the sun in summer or when temperatures are very high, always use a high-protection sunscreen and wear sunglasses.
It is also important to pay attention to your diet, eliminating all chemicals and cooking naturally.
Homemade remedies for the treatment of vitiligo
These are some of the recipes that can help you treat Vitiligo:
- Mix red clay with ginger juice and apply the mixture directly to the skin every day.
- Include melon, grapes and chickpeas in your diet and try to eat them periodically.
- Use a mustard oil cream with the addition of turmeric powder. Both ingredients should be boiled in water until it evaporates completely. The mixture is then filtered and stored in a glass container. Apply it at least twice a day for three months.
- Apply a radish seed cream with apple cider vinegar. Mix the two ingredients and spread the cream on the affected area several times a day.
Furthermore, it is black pepper that is considered to be the most effective ingredient of all in the treatment of vitiligo. For this reason, its essential oil is often used to treat it, which can be found in naturist shops or easily prepared at home.
To do this you will need a cup of olive oil and a quantity of black peppercorns equal to a quarter of the same cup: heat the oil and add the chopped pepper, letting it heat for five minutes; then let it cool, drain and place it in a closed container. Apply the mixture every day.
