What is Vitiligo
Leucoderma (vitiligo) is a condition of the skin characterized by patches of white skin. This occurs when the pigment that gives skin color, melanin, is deficient.
Vitiligo can be a result of an autoimmune disease where the body attacks its own pigmented melanocytes (melanocytes), not recognizing them as their own. There are many factors that can cause vitiligo, including hormonal imbalances, genetic predisposition, and other autoimmune disorders such as diabetes, hypothyroidism or diabetes.
Treatment Options for Vitiligo
Conventional treatments, such as corticosteroid lotions, creams, PUVA therapy, and surgery, are currently recommended. However, these have only produced limited results, since they offer only symptomatic relief, and don’t address the root causes of your problem. Most treatments have unpleasant side effects. Scientists and researchers have begun testing alternative ways to manage this condition due to the limited options in modern medicine. In an effort to develop a treatment protocol, many studies have been done on natural ingredients like evidence-based herbs and homeopathic dilutions.
Can Picrorhiza kurroa Cure Vitiligo
Picrorhiza kurroa is one of the herbs that have shown promising results during various clinical trials to assess their efficacy for conditions such as Vitiligo. It is also used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine to promote skin and liver health.

Picrorhiza Kurroa, also known as Kutki and Kutaki in Ayurveda, is an Ayurvedic plant. Two molecules, picroside I & picroside 2, are responsible for their therapeutic properties. Collectively these active molecules are known as kutkin / picroliv.
What makes Picrorhiza Kurroa such a promising herb
Let’s first look at some of the traditional uses for picrorhiza.
Clinical studies have shown that this herb has antibacterial, antiperiodic (relieves obstructions of bile), purging, detoxifying, and laxative properties. It also has anti-inflammatory, allergy, antioxidant, and rejuvenating properties. This plant is packed with health-promoting attributes that could be useful for treating a variety of conditions.
You will also find that traditional practitioners often recommend this herb to treat liver and upper respiratory tract problems.
Researchers have tested the herb for conditions such as vitiligo, psoriasis, and viral hepatitis.
Does Picrorhiza Kurroa Provide Relief for Vitiligo Patients

Vitiligo destroys pigment cells in your body. According to the autoimmune theory, the gradual destruction of melanocytes is caused when the body misidentifies the melanocytes and releases immune cells in order to rid itself of them. This has been accepted by all medical professionals. This theory is based also on the fact that melanocyte-specific antibodies circulating in vitiligo sufferers.
Additionally, CD8+ T-cells (which are crucial for killing cancerous and virally-infected cells, as well as restraining certain types of immune responses) were also found in lesions with vitiligo. The autoimmune attack against melanocytes is therefore a combination of humoral and cell immunity.
The best way to treat this condition is by stopping the body from attacking itself, balancing the body and removing any disturbances that may be contributing to the development of vitiligo, and protecting, nourishing, and rejuvenating your skin.
Picrorhiza has anti-inflammatory properties that stop the release of cytokines which cause inflammation and disrupt melanocyte function. Its cleansing and detoxifying properties improve skin and liver health. Meanwhile, its immunomodulatory property controls hypersensitivity, antibodies-mediated responses, and phagocytic activities. Picrorhiza’s versatile properties could prevent the destruction of melanocytes, eliminate toxins, and rejuvenate skin. A preliminary trial showed that Picrorhiza when combined with methoxsalen drug, could accelerate recovery from vitiligo.
