Vitiligo is a skin disorder that de-pigments the skin in the form of patches. Vitiligo is a disease that is not physically harmful; it just causes cosmetic de-pigmentation which is its major drawback. No cure for vitiligo is available up till now and even its causes are not known exactly. Some say that it is hereditary while other says that it develops in response to single event like severe sun burn or mental distress. According to another theory it is caused by other autoimmune diseases.

A number of treatments are available for dealing with vitiligo but none of the treatments provide 100 percent cure, only re-pigmentation is done through these numerous treatments. In this post I will only discuss home remedies that can help treat vitiligo because these are the most cost effective solution for treating vitiligo.

Numerous vitiligo creams are available that can help re-pigment the skin. Companies providing these creams always claim that this vitiligo cream is herbal treatment for re-pigmenting vitiligo skin disorder. To produce vitiligo cream or any other cream for any skin condition some latest processing techniques and methods are used so that it can be used for longer duration without getting decayed and herbal medicines are produced by conventional ways this is the reason that most of the companies does not produce original herbal creams.

Some of these ingredients can be used to re-pigment skin naturally these substances have great qualities to increase pigmentation of skin. Traditionally turmeric has been used as anti-septic, anti-inflammatory substance but it has been found that turmeric helps a lot in re-pigmentation. Chickpeas are found useful in pigmentation of skin color but as it is recently discovered you will hardly find a product that contains chickpeas.

As vitiligo is an auto immune disease mustard oil is proved beneficial for its treatment because it strengthens the immune system and is anti-bacterial and used as a detoxifying agent in human body. Ginger and basil leaves are the most common kitchen ingredients that can help in treatment of vitiligo. Ginger is anti inflammatory substance which is used to prevent blood clotting and it also stimulates circulation and is used to support digestive system.

Psoralens are a group of naturally occurring substance that makes our skin sensitive to the tanning effect of sunlight. This effect makes it a good product for treating vitiligo. By sensitizing our skin it enhances re-pigmentation. Psoralens when used with phototherapy increase rate of re-pigmentation and helps in getting more frequent results.

Before using any treatment one must always consult a physician, in this way more optimized results can be obtained.
