Continue reading this OneHowTo article to discover how you should treat vitiligo at home.

You'll need:
  • Carrot juice.
  • Chamomile.
  • Brewer's yeast.
  • Salads.
  • Vegetables.
  • Pollen.
  • Sun.
  • Mug.
Steps to follow:
1

Ultraviolet rays, which are rays emanated by the sun, stimulate melanin production in the body. This is why we recommend sunbathing in a gradual way and always follow sunbathing with a cold bath.

2

It is possible to use hydrotherapy to treat vitiligo naturally. Two baths daily, lasting 5 minutes each, as well as two steam baths with chamomile twice a week, are recommended.

3

When it comes to nutrition, it is recommended you drink two cups of raw carrot juice a day and add brewer's yeast to vegetable soups and salads.

4

Another helpful remedy involves taking a spoonful of pollen with your breakfast daily. This is very rich in vitamin B, which is essential for keeping your skin healthy. Consuming pollen will also help to strengthen the nervous system and the body in general.

5

If you want to treat vitiligo with food, the most appropriate way to do it is through any orange vegetables. Papaya, carrot, sweet potato for example, stimulate the production of melanin in our body, thus improving vitiligo skin whitening. Turmeric, also orange in color, is an important spice everyone with vitiligo should use, by both eating it and applying it to the affected areas.

6

An important, an often undervalued part of treating vitiligo at home, is stress reduction. Stress causes vitiligo to spread more, thus stress reduction reduces the amount of skin whitened skin. Try yoga, meditation, or any activity that you find relaxing.

7

Honey is one of the best natural remedies for vitiligo. You should both eat a couple of spoonfuls of honey everyday, and apply honey on the vitiligo affected area.

Another good natural remedy for vitiligo is Ginkgo Biloba, which is a supplement you can buy from any health store and is beneficial for your skin.
