What is Vitiligo?

Overview Vitiligo is a skin condition that causes loss of pigment, resulting in white patches on the skin.

Causes

The exact cause of vitiligo is unknown, but it is believed to be related to an autoimmune disorder.

Symptoms

The most noticeable symptom of vitiligo is depigmented patches on the skin, which typically appear on the face, hands, feet, or other areas exposed to the sun.

Treatment Currently, there is no cure for vitiligo, but treatments are available to help even out skin tone.

Why is Babchi Seed considered beneficial in Vitiligo treatment?

1 Psoralen content

Babchi seeds contain psoralen, a compound that can stimulate melanin production in the skin, leading to repigmentation of the affected areas.

3 Antioxidant activity

2 Anti-inflammatory properties

Babchi seeds also have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation associated with vitiligo.

As an antioxidant, Babchi seeds can help prevent cellular damage caused by oxidative stress, which is believed to be a contributing factor to the development of vitiligo.
