Vitiligo is a
disorder which is not uncommon. It is actually a skin disorder whose exact
cause is yet to be identified though the scientific community, at large,
believes that it is caused chiefly owing to some imbalances in the body like
the aggressive behavior of the autoimmune system. It is perhaps for this reason
that Unani treatment methods have
been quite successful to cure this dreaded skin problem.

When one suffers from
vitiligo, his/her skin turns whitish in full or in part. In most cases, a part of
the person’s skin turns whitish or colorless which is owing to the death or
absence of melanocytes (the skin cells). It can affect any area of the body
including the face, the neck, the back, the hands and the legs. They can look
very hideous if they develop on the faces or any visible part of the body and
can be a big turn-off for the opposite sex. Unfortunately, the conventional
medical science hasn’t been able to find a full-proof treatment method for this
disorder and in most cases the patient has to live with such whitish skin for
the rest of his/her life.
What conventional
medicine has failed in, Unani treatment
methods have succeeded in. Unani science has clandestinely been practiced
for centuries in certain parts of the world. It aims at creating a right
balance in the body as regards to humours, insulin, hormones and other
releases. Since unani medicine for
vitiligo offers greater chance for permanent cure, it is becoming
increasingly popular.
The healers of Unani medicine enjoy the expertise to
work over certain neural points of the body so as to release or impede the flow
of the essential body releases which play a vital role in the autoimmune system
of the body. There is a strong likelihood that patients of vitiligo will
experience some improvement in just a month after they start using Unani treatment methods. Over the
course of time, these methods promise to make the skin as normal as possible by
prompting the body to produce melanocytes in the affected area or areas.
Vitiligo can also be
caused or aggravated by stressful life. So, the unani medicine for vitiligo and other therapies are aimed towards
reducing general stress and towards increasing positivity.
While conventional
medicine does try to offer certain surgical remedies without any assurance,
they are extremely costly and still offer very less hope. In contrast, Unani medicine is cost-effective and is
much more promising.
