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 :

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.

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.
