Vitiligo -its Homeopathic Treatment
Vitiligo Treatment ;Homeopathy Can Work Wonders.
Vitiligo (often called as leucoderma) is a disorder where the skin loses its color in patches of irregular shapes and sizes. This is a pigmentation disorder which means that melanocytes (the pigment producing cells) in the skin get destroyed. This results in development of white patches on the skin.
The hairs which are growing in that area may loose their color and turn gray. This disorder also leads to psychological issues relating to appearances and at times in certain individuals (mainly the adolescents and the young) this stress can take enormous proportions particularly if Vitiligo develops on visible areas of the body, such as the face, hands, arms, feet, or on the genitals. They develop very strong emotions of being embarrassed, depressed, or worried about how others will react.
What causes Vitiligo?
The cause for Vitiligo is not very clear but doctors and researchers are beginning to believe that Vitiligo resembles an autoimmune disorder. Which means that the pigment (the matter that gives colour to our skin) producing cells of the skin are destroyed by the body?s own antibodies (defense cells).
In some cases it has been observed that the onset of Vitiligo is related to a psychologically stressful event in the patient?s life. People with a family history of Vitiligo are more prone to develop these white patches. Ninety five percent of all those who develop Vitiligo, start developing symptoms before their 40th year of their life.
Other factors that have been found to be more common with those suffering from Vitiligo are presence of other autoimmune disorders, history of sunburns, rashes and other skin disorders and hair turning grey before the age of thirty five.
What are the symptoms and how does it spread?
People with Vitiligo develop white patches on their skin of irregular shapes and sizes. Vitiligo is more common on the exposed areas for example hands face, neck and arms. It also occurs on covered areas too: – like genitals, breast and legs. In some patients the hair may also turn grey early and in the inside of the mouth, white discoloration may also occur.
The spread of Vitiligo cannot be determined. It may stop completely after the first patch but often these patches do spread. For some patients further development may takes years and for others the large areas can be covered in months. In some patients mental stress has been seen to increase the growth of these white patches.
How effective is homoeopathy?
Homoeopathy is able to give wonderful and miraculous cures in many cases of Vitiligo. This is due to the fact that homoeopathic treatment enhances the natural production of pigments. According to homoeopathic philosophy Vitiligo not a disease in itself but an expression of an inner disturbed state of the body. Thus, the cure should occur at a level where things have gone wrong. In order to archive this, the patient is analyzed on various aspects of mental and physical and familial attributes and also a complete study is done on the psychological-environment that the patient has gone through in his life. The prescription is then based at the deepest level of understanding of the patient?s disturbed inner force. Although many homoeopathic medicines Arsenic Sulph Falvus, Arsenic Album , Baryta Mur and Baryta Carb are known to give good results in Vitiligo; I would again reiterate the fact that real cure of Vitiligo occurs when the prescription is made according to the true principles of homoeopathic philosophy i.e. treating that ?deep causative factor ? which caused this inner disturbance. Also remember that Vitiligo is a chronic disorder and can take considerable time even with the best of the homoeopathic treatment, for it to be completely cured.

Homeopathy is much more of a choice than people often think it to be. One of its philosophy’s greatest breakthroughs is the realization that the body is not an object but a process with no pre-ordained limits. The scorching, cruel heat of summer was just setting in the first year of the new century

Hi Sir,
I have Vitiligo since I was 14 years old. It sarted from my knee and now I am 27 years old. It has started spreading on my hands, fingers, legs, thighs and on my neck too. I am afraid if it comes on my face. I was taking homeopathic medicines and also tried unani and allopathic treatments but did not get any results. Please suggest if I will be able to recover from it completely and if yes then how long it takes me to get complete recovery.
Thanks and Regards

Dear Sir,
Since from one month, in my lower lips reddish appearance is there. (apart from lips there is no any white patches in my body) I shown to two to three doctors. But I am not getting correct results, some one is saying as Cheliists, some one is saying as Vitiligo.

I am a 60 yr. old female, I have had vitaligo for over 20 yrs. It is spreading slowly, I have a daughter that is 39 and has it over her entire body, she is young and it is hard for her to be so white…using lots of spray tan etc. now my 6 yr. old grandaughter has it. what I have learned thru the years..is just live with it…buy tanning sprays…makeup. There is nothing out there to help…dont waste your money on items being sold to cure it or control it…your wasting your money…I have learned people have to like you the way you are..

Dear Doctor
Thank you for the insights on various health matters on your website. Hats off for your yeoman service.
My problem is similar to your description – my hair on the head started greying since I was around 17 years old. Then slowly but very slowly the greying was going about its duty and started appearing on my chest and then on my chin. Now I am 42 and my beard below my chin is 80% grey and the rest of the beard is going about turning grey. The patches are mostly underneath my chin and on my cheeks and are not that visible unless one examines with great care/curiosity/intensity; however you may call it. Other than these I have a dozen of ball-pin head sized white patches or dots, easily noticeable, on my torso, at the my back on the hip and from on the stomach and a couple of them on my thighs.
I found these dots on my father’s (age-69) torso too. My only son aged 14 is having his har on the head turning grey and of late seems alarming to me. Are these related to leucoderma/vitiligo? If no, then what could they be? If yes what could the treatment be?
Awaiting your detailed enlightenment on this matter.
Thanks & Regards

Hello Dr. Sharma,
I really need you’re help. I’m 13 years old and I think that I might have vitiligo. I’m not sure but I was reading Sudha Murty’s novel ‘Mahashweta’ which is about this disease, after a week or so I saw 2 small white patches on my elbow. Do you think this is vitiligo? I am very afraid of what other people may say, these patches (if of vitiligo) will look awful. Please Help me. What should I do?
Even now I am writing this, my hands and trembling and my heart is racing please I need help desperately.
