Vitiligo is a change in the skin's natural pigmentation, when cells begin to lose their own pigmentation. The loss ends up generating a series of white spots that are even very sensitive to sunlight. Those who have vitiligo should avoid direct contact with sunlight, in order to prevent the spots from becoming bigger and bigger.
Because it is a disease that directly affects the emotional state of the person who has it, its treatment must contain emotional support. The exact cause of the appearance of these spots on the skin has never been discovered, but theories say that the reason may be an immune disorder in which antibodies are developed that attack the pigmented cells, thus causing depigmentation.
Studies by researchers at the Federal University of Goiás have currently discovered a plant from the Cerrado capable of effectively helping in the treatment of Vitiligo, the mamacadela. According to research, the root of the Cerrado native plant has properties that bring back the natural pigmentation of the affected cells.
Natural medicines such as Homeopathy and Phytotherapy are also great solutions for those who want to treat vitiligo. Plants such as acariçoba, which works well on the nervous system, and saffron, which is great for the skin, are widely used.
Other plants and natural substances are also widely used in the treatment of this disease that affects thousands of people. Let's meet them!
