Herbal Remedy for Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a disorder that afflicts the skin’s pigmentation. The melanocytes, which are cells responsible for pigment production, are destroyed. This causes the appearance of white or colorless patches of skin on different parts of the body. Hair in these areas is also affected and appears white and colorless. Vitiligo poses a serious health risk and is not a purely cosmetic disorder. The reduced or absent pigmentation means that the skin is deprived of it’s natural defense against the sun’s radiation, leaving the affected individual vulnerable to skin cancer and a variety of other problems stemming from sun exposure.
