A skin problem in which the skin continuously keeps on loosing melanin or other pigments is Vitiligo or Leucoderma. The Leucoderma problem is often caused due to genetic reasons but it can also develop due to poor liver function, after harsh burns, parasites, gastric disorders and excess stress.

Leucoderma doesn’t cause any general harm to the body but it can lead to a lot of social distress for the affected person. There are many natural treatments and medicines which can reverse or slow down the progression of this problem.

The following are five top natural treatments, cures and remedies which can be employed to treat and cure Leucoderma:

1. The body should be cleansed of all the built up toxicants by taking a diet of vegetable juices and raw vegetables at least one week before the actual start of treatment. It is also recommended that the affected should have lukewarm water enemas during this one week to totally clean all the toxins.
2. After that one week of fasting, a diet which is high in fiber and low in fats should be adopted as this maintains the ongoing detoxification. Healing process can also be promoted by avoiding stimulants, preservatives and fatty or oily foods.
3. Turmeric is a very old natural medicine which is seen to cure Leucoderma internally as well as externally. So, turmeric should be included in the affected person’s diet, either in raw or extract form. Turmeric is a spice which tastes great and could be easily included in the patient’s meals.
4. About half kg of turmeric should be soaked overnight in 2.5 gallons of water. The mixture should be boiled the next day until only one third of a gallon remains in the mixture. The water should be strained to take the turmeric and 16 oz. of mustard oil should be added to form a paste. The paste should be applied twice a day for a minimum three months to all the white patches.
5. Other natural medicines such as eating basil, walnuts and figs detoxify the body and purify the blood. These medicines also help in healing Leucoderma.
