Herbal Remedies for Vitiligo

Vitiligo (leukoderma) is a depigmentation or whitening of the skin, possibly due to an autoimmune disorder. There is no sastifactory treatment or cure.

Herbal treatments that may provide some benefit include immune tonics and adrenal tonics, when these systems are weak. Because many skin problems are related to liver, bowel function, and food allergies, liver-regulating herbs and bowel-strengthening herbs, as well as a continuous course of probiotics, may also be helpful.
