Treatment of vitiligo with St. John’s wort and black cumin oil
The best vegetable oils in the treatment of vitiligo are St. John’s wort and black cumin, which are able to eliminate the foci of the disease. Oils applied to the skin cause their cells to produce melanin, which is responsible for pigmentation.
St. John’s wort oil for vitiligo
Often this oil is prepared according to a very simple recipe: fill a jar with chopped St. John’s wort and pour vegetable oil, and after a couple of weeks of infusion, the product is ready. However, this oil is ineffective! Because it’s not concentrated. Of course, such an oil has a therapeutic effect, but the treatment is very sluggish.
Recipe for concentrated St. John’s wort oil: to make a truly effective St. John’s wort oil, you only need St. John’s wort flowers! No foliage, only flowers. Stuff a small glass jar with St. John’s wort flowers, laying them tightly and slightly compacting them. It will take so many flowers to fill the jar, but at the same time, we leave 4-5 cm of empty space to the neck. Pour refined sunflower oil to the top of the jar (you can take any other medicinal oil, such as sea buckthorn, almond).
We put the finished jar in the sun (not in a dark place, but rather in the sun), for at least 2 weeks, shaking occasionally. After 2 weeks, the oil is squeezed out and a new portion of St. John’s wort flowers is added again! And again stand 2 weeks. And so they do 5-6 circles, but if desired, more can be done.
Since St. John’s wort blooms all summer, there should be no problems with raw materials. After overcoming all the difficulties, you will get a truly effective red-brown St. John’s wort oil, reminiscent of sour cream in its consistency.
This oil can be successfully used for vitiligo, muscle strain, flu, sciatica, neuralgia, osteochondrosis, burns, cuts, various tumors, tonsillitis. If taken internally, 1 tsp. before meals, it effectively helps with various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract

Water plant duckweed has medicinal properties due to the fact that it contains a lot of iodine, bromine salts.
From vitiligo, duckweed is used in infusions and dry crushed form according to the following recipes:
Recipe 1. A tincture from this plant is prepared on the basis of vodka in the ratio of 1 teaspoon of raw materials per 50 grams of vodka. It is necessary to measure the required amount of grass, rinse under running water, put in an opaque dark glass dish. Pour everything with vodka or alcohol diluted to the desired strength. Let the liquid infuse for a week at room temperature in a dark place. The duckweed tincture is then filtered through gauze. Store it in a dark, cool place.

Take 1 teaspoon daily (breakfast, lunch, dinner) for 2 years. With a shorter period of treatment, the desired effect is difficult to achieve.
Black pepper really helps in the treatment of vitiligo
British scientists have discovered that the chemical compound piperine, which is found in large quantities in black pepper, giving it a spicy smell and special taste, can become a source of a drug to cure vitiligo. Because as a result of this disease, pigmentation is disturbed, due to which the melanin pigment disappears, some areas of the skin become milky white. And the piperine contained in black pepper just stimulates its production. [3].
At King’s College London, the capital of Great Britain, scientists conducted experiments on mice in order to study the effects of piperine and its derivatives. The substance was applied to the skin of rodents that were sick with vitiligo. Some mice were additionally exposed to ultraviolet rays – such irradiation has been used for a long time as a treatment for vitiligo, however, it is ineffective.
A group of researchers led by Anthony Yang came to the conclusion that this effect was obtained due to the ability of piperine to form pigmented skin cells (melanocytes). They believe that there is the prospect of creating a drug based on this substance that can reduce the need for exposure to ultraviolet rays, which often leads to the development of skin melanoma. [5].
In the meantime, traditional medicine offers this recipe for vitiligo: Mix ground black pepper with baking soda in equal proportions. Rub the resulting powder into places with light spots on the skin. Observations show that the pigment in this area begins to form intensively, the color of the spots gradually equalizes with the color of the skin.
