Vitiligo in alternative natural medicine

According to the natural law of duality (where expansion = yin, contraction = yang), vitiligo is an expansive illness (tends to spread, itching, tenderness and redness of affected areas). Vitiligo is triggered by a passing illness, a virus or a crisis. But the underlying cause of vitiligo, like most illnesses, is the accumulation of faulty eating habits that violate the natural law of duality and produce imbalance and lowered immunity. Vitiligo is an illness of the third stage among the seven stages of illness. Vitiligo is directly related to the liver, so the kidneys-lungs should also be considered in natural treatment. Kidneys-lungs are mother-father of the liver in the five elements theory of natural medicine.

Vitiligo natural alternative treatment and cure

Food is best natural treatment. Foods affect vitiligo positively or adversely depending on their type. Foods that restore natural balance miraculously cure vitiligo naturally without side effects. Vitiligo is expansive, and foods that cause expansion (Sugar, parsley, lettuce and vitamin C, etc.) will make vitiligo spread. Foods that cause contraction will naturally cure vitiligo and restore skin elasticity and suppleness. With the right diet, vitiligo can be cured completely. It takes from a month to several months to cure vitiligo depending on its severity and the area affected.
