Vitiligo And Its Homoeopathic Approach: A Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Vitiligo is a chronic dermatological disorder characterized by the loss of skin pigmentation, leading to white patches. Its etiology is complex, involving autoimmune, genetic, and environmental factors. Conventional treatments, though effective to some extent, often come with side effects and relapses. Homoeopathy offers a holistic and individualized approach to managing vitiligo, focusing on the patient's overall physical, emotional, and psychological state. This review examines the pathophysiology of vitiligo, the role of homeopathic remedies in treatment, and the available evidence supporting their efficacy. Despite limited scientific validation, homoeopathy presents a promising alternative for long-term management of vitiligo
