#7. Homeopathy for leucoderma
Vitiligo or 'safed daag' (in Hindi) or 'kod' (in Marathi) is an autoimmune condition where the skin loses its natural color and develops white or light skin-colored patches. In this condition, there is either destruction of the skin pigments (melanin: which gives normal color to the skin) or there is some defect in the production of skin pigments leading to the loss of normal skin color.
The exact cause is unknown, but genetic, hormonal, and immunological factors play an important role in the development of vitiligo.
The extent and rate of spread of vitiligo vary from case to case. Vitiligo can affect the skin on any location of the body. It may affect hair, mucocutaneous junctions (lips, corners of mouth, ge****ls, etc.)
In a few people, only a single white patch of vitiligo is observed, whereas, in some individuals, multiple spots can be seen all over the body. In some people, the single white spot remains as it is for years together without any spread or resolves on its own. In a few people, the rate of spread of this skin condition is rapid, unpredictable, and, over a period, may involve skin all over the body.
Vitiligo may present with other skin diseases, such as psoriasis, eczema, or lichen planus.
From the clinical point of view, vitiligo does not cause any damage or harm to any major organ or part of the body, and, hence, it is not a serious medical condition. A few people believe that vitiligo is contagious and may be life-threatening which is a myth. However, in many societies, vitiligo patients are not accepted easily and they have to face social discrimination by others. Due to this, vitiligo can significantly affect the person cosmetically, emotionally, and socially when the sufferer belongs to such a society, where the color of the skin is given importance.
Homeopathic Treatment for Vitiligo:
Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease. It is an external expression on the skin due to internal dysfunction at the level of the immune system. Hence, the treatment should be given to treat the root cause that is correcting the imbalance of the immune system rather than applying anything externally. Homeopathy believes in the same principle, and, hence, it offers excellent treatment in most of the cases of vitiligo.
How Can Homeopathy Help In Treating Vitiligo?
•Homeopathy tries to treat the root cause by correcting the dysfunction or overactivity at the level of the immune system.
•Homeopathic medicines control the further spread of vitiligo.
•It stimulates the skin pigments melanocytes to generate melanin and hence helps to regain the normal skin color. •It also reduces the destruction of melanocytes.
•Homeopathic medicines are effective, safe, and give long-lasting relief without any side-effects.
Vitiligo cases which are not extensive respond well to homeopathic treatment, whereas in extensive cases, control can be achieved.
