Herbs have been around for thousands of years and yes some of them seem to bring back a patients pigmentation but so many herbal treatments are not approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) so if your using herbal remedies for your own situation involving Vitiligo just be careful take your time and educate yourself about the possible dangers of certain herbs, people may tell you that a certain herb will cure your situation. But it's best to see a doctor first so that he or she may do blood test to make sure that you have no uderlying medical conditions that may interact with the herb of your choice

Your not listening to what I said Ivanka, Please allow me to reiterate I said a blood test should be administered before taking any kind of remedy for Vitiligo no matter if it's FDA approved treatment or not, You may not know what caused your Vitiligo but a blood test can reveal other things that may be a factor in you getting Vitiligo, say for example you started getting Vitiligo but you didn't get a blood test and you started to self diagnose yourself, you might have Lupus and don't even know it, all I'm saying to you is get some blood work before seeking any treatment because there are hundreds of underlying conditions that precipitate Vitiligo.Take care and God bless

Everything can be fatal depending on the quantity and duration of taking. If you drink herbal tea usually, the concentration of the chemicals is much more balanced. In pills you have extracts- more pure chemical concentration and then unwanted reactions are more common. Plus herbs work on a more natural level and similar to the way the body works and that is why sometimes herbs are more effective than pills. ( I know this because my mum is a herbalist and I often have been a subject to experiments :) I am still alive and I can tell that most herbs provide more benefit than harm) But you are right- there are some really harmful plants so you need to have the knowledge before taking anything
Anyway I believe that the prescribed medicines cause a lot more deaths than herbs.
Plus FDA is a business like any other . They make money out of pills :)
