What is the best treatment for vitiligo

In current medicine, vitiligo can be divided into two treatment stages. The early and middle stages of the disease can be treated with Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine can adjust the body's Qi and blood, promote the repair of Qi and blood, and achieve the effect of dredging meridians and activating collaterals. At the same time, it can speed up the circulation of Qi and blood, and help us to clear the Qi and blood that are locally obstructed, thereby achieving a rapid recovery effect. Therefore, among the better treatment methods for vitiligo, Chinese medicine can be chosen for treatment in the early stages.

How does Traditional Chinese Medicine treat vitiligo ?

1. In the process of treating vitiligo, the first thing to pay attention to is to exorcise evil spirits. In traditional Chinese medicine, the soothing liver method believes that human emotions are closely related to the "liver". Stagnation of liver qi will affect the circulation of qi and blood, leading to disharmony of qi and blood and the appearance of white spots on the skin. This type of vitiligo is often triggered by emotional stimulation, and the white spots often occur on the chest, flanks, sides of limbs and other parts of the body. Treatment should include Chinese medicine that soothes the liver and relieves depression, such as bupleurum, turmeric, aurantium, and cyperus rotundus. Simple qi stagnation will not cause vitiligo. White spots will only appear if blood stasis is present. Therefore, in the clinical treatment of patients with vitiligo caused by liver depression and qi stagnation, even if there are no obvious clinical signs of blood stasis, blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing products must be used.

2. The blood circulation method allows qi and blood to flow through the meridians, which can nourish the skin. If blood stagnates in the meridians and the flow of qi and blood is blocked, the local skin will lose the nourishment of qi and blood and white spots will occur. Such white spots are often distributed in the areas innervated by peripheral nerves. It is advisable to use Chinese medicine that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as Salvia miltiorrhiza, Red Peony Root, Safflower, Natural Copper, Chuanxiong, and Sappan Wood for treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "there will be no blemishes without blood stasis." Clinically, whether white spots or black spots, there is a "stasis" syndrome. Vitiligo, whether it is a real syndrome or a false syndrome, can cause blood stasis. The method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis should be used throughout the entire process of vitiligo treatment. If the method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis does not work, it is mostly because of internal dampness. Because the dampness is lingering, it can be treated with Ma Xing Yi Gan Tang combined with Tao Hong Si Wu Tang and kidney-tonifying Chinese medicine.

3. Wind-dispelling method: The occurrence and development of vitiligo are mostly unpredictable and have the same characteristics as the unpredictable "wind" in nature. Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that the onset of vitiligo is related to the exposure to "wind evil" through analogy. "Wind-repelling" drugs are often used in treatment, such as Schizonepeta, Tribulus terrestris, Saposhnikovia divaricata, Angelica dahurica, Duckweed, etc. Modern pharmacological research has proven that this type of drug contains furanodicoumarins and is effective in treating vitiligo. In addition, anti-wind drugs help to promote blood circulation.

4. Dehumidification method: Dampness is lingering and difficult to cure. For stubborn vitiligo, attention should be paid to the application of dehumidification method. Commonly used medicines include Xishuangbanna, Gexie, etc.

During the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of vitiligo, Western medicine methods should also be used in external treatment. After all, Western medicine treats surgical diseases more quickly.
