| Vitiligo |
| This skin condition is also known as leukoderma. It is characterized by white patches on the skin with a dark border. It is believed that the skin isn't producing enough of the skin pigment melanin and that the skin's pigment is disappearing. |
| Eat fish containing friendly fats such as salmon. Vitamin B complex, especially PABA and panothenic acid, are helpful in preventing progression. Manganese and zinc are also useful. Add tablets of kelp or eat sea vegetables to nourish the thyroid gland, if a thyroid deficiency is suspected. Use essential fatty acids such as the oils of flax, borage or evening primrose. The herb khella has been found to stimulate melanin synthesis when used orally and topically in about one-third of the cases. |
| Topically, try tea tree oil, garlic oil or ginger as a compress. |
| Warts |
| Warts are caused by viruses. Louise Hay, author of Love Your Body, says that one common cause of warts is "little expressions of anger and hatred." Forgive the past and protect yourself with thoughts of joy and peace. |
| Cut down on animal protein foods for awhile. Eat more apples, asparagus, avocados, barley, carrots, cucumbers, garlic, millet, onions and seaweed. |
| Take homeopathic thuja 30c, four pellets under the tongue four times daily. |
| Some of the most effective folk remedies for warts include applying cedar leaf oil, the fresh juice of dandelion stem or flower, fresh fig latex, garlic oil, lavender oil, thuja oil, tea tree oil, fresh milkweed sap, fresh celandine juice, papaya peel, sundew sap or taping on a compress |
