 Anti-vitiligo oil is produced with traditional methods and is also a complete traditional herbal formulation. The history of its curative success goes hundreds of years back, with a success in large number of patient . anti-vitiligo oil is collectively proven a best successful herbal product due to its unique traditional preparation processes.

 

After having great success rates localy, anti-vitiligo oil was marketed to international market for the patients of vitiligo throughout the world in November 2003. Antivitiligo oil has many characteristics of a successful healing product in the markets it has also been observed that the process of healing is faster in people with a darker skin than fairer individuals.

Vitiligo is a skin disease that we know very little about and have no guaranteed cure for. Most treatments are experimental or intended to control and restrict the effects of the disease. Although narrowband UVB treatments are extremely promising and are the best treatment currently available to vitiligo patients, herbal treatments do offer some hope. Sadly the efficacy of these herbal remedies has been neglected and research conducted has been inadequate.

 

The concept behind the most successful conventional treatment (UVB treatment) is actually rooted in traditional herbal treatments that involve phototherapy. Psoralea corylifolia is an herb that is extremely useful because of its peculiar properties. It contains a naturally occurring compound called psoralen that can today also be produced in laboratories. In the past however, treatment with this herb was widely used against vitiligo as this compound facilitates and improves the reaction of the skin to sun exposure. This herb may be used as a topical application in its oil extract form or a powdered form can be used for ingestion.

 

The use of Picrorhiza in combination with certain conventional treatments and sun exposure has also been found to speed up recovery, as opposed to treatment with just sun exposure and medication. Similarly supplementation with a Ginkgo biloba extract has also been found to encourage repigmentation. Khella or Ammi visnaga is another herb, which could have a role to play in vitiligo treatment. An active constituent of this herb called ‘khellin’ works in a manner very similar to psoralen, demonstrating a stimulatory effect on re-pigmentation.

Vitiligo Symptoms

 

Vitiligo generally called white spots illness as well or Leucoderma, in which the skin loses its pigment due to the annihilation of melanocytes. Melanocytes are such pigment cells which found in the epidermis (the surface layer of the skin) and there are responsible for producing Melanin (a dark pigment that gives skin its color) and protects against ultraviolet radiation., The skin becomes pale when melanocytes stop producing melanin leaving areas of white patches this is called vitiligo.

 

To describe Vitiligo symptoms, the onset of the vitiligo symptoms is very visible in darker and wheatish skinned people as the contrast of white patches looks obvious against dark skin. The manifestation of flat areas of normal-feeling skin with complete pigment loss is sudden or gradual and appearance of vitiligo symptoms the lesions appear as flat areas with no pigment.

 

In common the affected areas are the face, elbows, knees, hands feet, and genitalia.

The initial vitiligo symptoms are easily observable with flat white spots or patches on your skin. Vitiligo symptoms usually starts the first white patch appears on the skin area remains exposed to the sun. Vitiligo symptoms do not cause physical discomfort to your skin, such as itching etc.

 

Vitiligo symptoms, vitiligo most commonly affects traumatic areas particularly on the face, upper chest, hands and groin. It may be widespread, affecting both sides of the body it may affect only one side of the body or it may affect only one localized area.

If the affected area contains hair, the hair may turn white then vitiligo symptoms sharply distinct white patches are seen rather obviously. Sometimes there may be seen by a circular white patch, resembling a halo.

Vitiligo causes or the core for this skin disorder, these are the things which make this skin condition more complex and chronic.  Because the information about what are real causes  of any disease or condition make it easy to treat. 

White patches with no pigmentation or coloration in them appear due to the destruction of melanocytes skin cells. Melanocytes cells are the tiny skin color production units in the skin.  Which produce a substance which is characterized as skin color called melanin. When melanocytes are damaged in any region of the body, in that part a deficiency of melanin cause depigmentation in skin.

What are the factor which attacks on melanocytes and kill them or they themselves destroyed it is still hidden to all of us.  Almost all dermatologist have no perfect answer regarding question that what are the causes of vitiligo.

How there are a few theory which are seem reliable in this regard try to explore trigger of vitiligo.

Causes of vitiligo and Auto Immunity:

 A famous autoimmunity explaind the activity of an vitiligo antibody which produced due to the   internal and external Catechol or Phenol quantity in patients body. This antibody attacks on melanocytes cells and  damage them.

Another negative  auto immune  response, when  a toxic material generated by nerve cells  kill skin pigment producing cells or deactivate them to produce pigmentation for skin.

Pigmentation disoder vitiligo by which millions of population is suffering and real cause of this skin condition are not fully known to any one. This is the reason that it is treated as a tricky some skin condition. Further due to this reason many specialist say that it is non curable skin condition.

Although many latest vitiligo treatment options are available  but about most of them are highly costly and beyond the reach of a common. Many treatment options liek laser, uva light based  PUVA and other photo therapic options are newly added in the list of possible vitiligo treatement options. I am not considering about the probability of the success of these latest treatmen options. But a serous think that is negative effects regarding these modern treatment options can not be ignored.
For example uva and uvb rays are major cause of skin cancer and aging factor in skin. Laser treatment is also difficult to bear for patient and normally patients has to suffer immense pain.

Many cream and ointment are also available  in the region of modern scientific and prescribed medicines.  But problem of these are that these medicines tries to re-pigment the skin whtie spots without paying attention toward the underlying reasons of  vitiligo.

Another important factor in selection of vitiligo treatment is cost. Normally treatment of vitiligo need a long period and mostly medicine and treatment procedures have high prices.

So if we see cost, side effects and treating under lying causes of  vitiligo, then the thing which solve this question is Natural medicine or herbs base treatment for vitiligo.

It is quality of natural medicine that these treat any disease naturally  by curing its root causes in patients body sestem. Natural treatments are popular due their no side effect giving quality. Further more natural medicine are economical as compare to other treatment optiosn for vitiligo.

Pigmentation means the process of skin which is responsible for the coloration of skin.  It is also related to the mechanism of skin regarding absorption of heat coming from sunlight. It protect our body from hazardous rays of uvb light which interact with our body. UVB light  is a big source of skin cancer.

Skin color is the one of the most important factor by which you guesses overall health condition of a person. There is direct effect on the skin or the pigmentation of skin due to any unwanted change or weakness in one's body system. Some time the lack of some nutrients like vitamins and mineral causes some problems in the pigmentation process of skin. And some time anomalies in the internal system (auto-immune system of body) may results the some unwanted spots in the skin. There are many skin pigmentation problems but here we shall discuss some main thing regarding the skin appearance. Before continuing further first we have to explore the term melanin.

Melanocytes

Melanocytes are special skin cell which are responsible for pigmentation process of skin.
 
Melanin

A natural substance produced by pigmentation producing cells melanocytes which is responsible for natural skin and hair color.
It is the melanin which deficiency or excess in skin causes different types of skin problem. Albinism and vitiligo occurs due to the deficiency of melanin in skin.
Abnormalities in the function in the production of melanin by melanocytes  cause different pigmentation problems in skin.
Melanin has a special quality to absorb UV (ultra violet) radiation from sun.

Hyper Pigmentation

It occurs when the production of melanin substance increase  from normal level. Normally dark spots or blotches on skin occurs due to the hype-pigmentation.
You may often observe that after tannin or long being long exposure to sun your skin complexion become more darken. This happens due to the excessive of melanin.
Liver spots is the most common hyper-pigmentation disorder. It occurs due to the pro long exposure to the sun.

Depigmentation

It is also called hypo-pigmentation. When some light spots appear in skin as compare to its surrounding, normally white patches in skin appear due the depigmentation in skin. It occurs when the amount of melanin decrease from a certain level in a particular part of the body.
Most common depigmentation problem of the skin is vitiligo.  About 50 million people on the globe ar suffering from this skin condition.  Vitiligo occurs due to the destruction of the pigment producing cells of skin and lack of melanin.
Some hyper-pigmentation techniques are also used for treatment of vitiligo.
You can visit for further info about other depigmentation conditions.


Ultra Violet Radiation

Here is need to mention some thing about ultra violet radiation because most of the pigmentation problems, specially hyper-pigmentation occur due to the  uv light.
Special pigment material melanin has a quality to absorb uvb radiation. Though UV light therapy is also used for the treatment of many disease. Rapid increase in using sunscreens in last few year is also has been observed is also due to the uv rays.

Localized Vitiligo

Focal Vitiligo

One or more macules in one area but not clearly in a segmental distribution.In general terms Focal Vitiligo is localized to a single area. If the patient has a single patch on hand, face or leg with no other occurrences of disease on other body parts.Focal vitiligo if not active is generally more suited for localized treatments. The first option would be a topical medicine and if it does not work or is unacceptable due to other reasons, surgery and tattooing may be considered. 

Segmental Vitiligo

Where one or more macules are in a quasi-dermatomal pattern. In common mans language Here the patches are unilateral and asymmetric in distribution.One or more patches are distributed within the same segment (anatomical distribution of the body) of the body. Segmental vitiligo limited to lips and finger tips is often called Lip-Tip Vitiligo. This is perhaps most difficult to treat. Lip-tip Vitiligo: These are restricted to the lips and distal part of fingers and toes. Affecting distal extremities and face. Some patches on face and some on other body parts, but not on all over the body. In common terms, Acrofacial vitiligo is the term used for a very common distribution of this disease in which the disease is limited to parts away from the center of the body. This usually include face, head, hands and feet. It is usually associate with a lot emotional distress because the disease effects the exposed parts of the body, which is socialy very emparcing.

Due to wide spread of disease it is generally difficult to treat all the parts equally and the treatment may take years. Also surgery may not be an option for patients of vitiligo vulgaris. 

Universal Vitiligo

Universal Vitiligo or Vitiligo totalis is the complete or nearly complete loss of skin pigment. The pigment is usually lost from entire body surface except a few small islands of normally pigmented skin. Permanent medical bleaching of the normal skin is usually the only option.
