A quick search of Medline turns up a few herbs and supplements which may help your condition : Ginkgo biloba Cassia occidentalis (Senna, the common laxative herb) Nigella sativa extract (black seed extract) The amino acid, L-phenylalanine The studies are here : http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2432048 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3065445/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/21328088 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/21492177 Psoralea coryfolia is also popular, but there are reports of liver toxicity. I believe it helps because the psoralens in it are photosensitizing, which would improve UV treatments. If psoralens are useful, then celery, which contains psoralens, would help as well when used with UV. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/20051255/ http://www.motherherbs.com/psoralea-corylifolia.html http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/19841509/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/19640237/ You can buy black seed capsules or softgels from many of these Malay herbal medicine stalls around town - a good brand is Baraka from from Egypt. I've taken it before for general immunity support. This may help you understand your condition before. Vitiligo and the melanocyte reservoir. http://www.e-ijd.org/article.asp?issn=0019...ulast=Falabella |
