The Neem Research
+++ Vitiligo +++
Patchy discolored skin is traditionally and successfully treated with neem. Neem does not color the skin but appears to restore balance to melanin production.
In several recent cases of people who have been using neem on their skin, they report that after several months age (liver) spots had disappeared where they had applied the cream. These people had not been taking neem leaf internally, only using a neem-based cream as a moisturizer.
Oral doses of neem were tested on fifteen patients with at least a one year history of vitiligo. In addition to the oral neem doses, a lotion of several herbs was applied to the patches then exposed to sunlight. The results showed that after ninety days 25% of the patients showed complete relief and another 60% showed mild to moderate relief. There were no adverse reactions to any of the participants in this group. Those that were able to continue the treatment the longest obtained the most improvement indicating that complete improvement could have been obtained by the participants had they all stayed on the regimen. Those that took the neem leaves internally and applied the neem lotion externally showed the most improvement (Nair, 1987). The dosage in the test was four grams of neem leaves three times a day, preferably before each meal. External application of the lotion is important for relief and was used in conjunction with the neem leaf.
In other studies, however the use of neem (leaves and bark) internally without the need for any applications to the skin worked well (Basu, 1956). Given the immune stimulating properties of neem oil and its effects on other skin problems it is quite possible that neem oil applied to the affected area could aid in the reversal of the discoloration caused by vitiligo.
Suggested Usage:
Adults can take 4 to 6 Neem leaf capsules a day, and apply neem lotion or neem oil to the area 3 times a day. Restoration of the melanin may take a few months.
