Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin disease in which there is a loss of skin pigment Melanin from areas of the skin, resulting in irregular white spots or patches. In this disease, the immune system attacks and destroys the melanin-producing melanocytes in the skin. In the majority of the cases, even the overlying hair on the patches turns gray. It may affect the inside of the mouth, eyes, and even the genitals. It can affect the skin on any part of the body.
One of the vitiligo symptoms is the appearance of flat white spots or patches on the skin. The earliest white spot is noticeable in the areas that tend to be exposed to the sun. The condition is not life-threatening or contagious. The disorder not only disturbs one’s emotional state but also one’s psychological well-being, familial or social life, career, and self-esteem.
The probable triggering factors of Vitiligo are genetics, emotional trauma such as stress, anxiety, fear. It can be also be associated with thyroid, diabetes or any other auto-immune disease.
How to treat vitiligo?
The conventional mode of Vitiligo treatment may improve the appearance of the affected skin but does not cure the disease. With homeopathy early and milder cases of vitiligo can be treated with excellent success, moderate and spreading cases can expect partial color formation with good control, while rapidly spreading cases may be controlled significantly.
Homeopathy is a boon for vitiligo. Below mentioned are the benefits of taking homeopathic treatment for vitiligo:
HOMEOPATHY: THE SAFE, EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR VITILIGO
- A problem that is unrelated to the skin may occur with rapid intensity when a skin problem is suppressed unnaturally with conventional drugs, creams, and ointments. Homeopathy does not suppress skin complaints or illness. It heals the distress from deep within.
- Homeopathic medicines for vitiligo not only help to control the spread of white patches; they also help in repigmentation or, return of the individual’s normal skin color by enhancing the natural formation of melanocytes — without side-effects.
- 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.
- Unlike short-term results seen in conventional medicines, homeopathic medicine has long-lasting results
- 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.
- If Homeopathy is considered in the early stage of the disease as a treatment option, then the complete control of the disease in the future is much better.
- In any skin infection, Homeopathy can help treat the underlying psychosomatic factor very efficiently without causing addiction.
- Homeopathy also aids to improve health-related quality of life.
