Read the precautions a Vitiligo patient must take

Vitiligo is a non-contagious and non-infectious disease. Homeopathy can offer quite good results to the patients of Vitiligo. Homeopathic medicines are given after detailed case taking, complete case analysis, complete understanding of patient’s disease, genetic tendencies, hormonal imbalance, mental and emotional state of mind. This particular way of prescribing is called the constitutional way of prescribing homeopathic medicines.

It must be noted that the views expressed in this blog may not be final. There could be individual variations in results and prognosis, depending of various factors which govern the disease and its recovery.

Dr Rajesh Shah’s message to Vitiligo patients is, “Do not panic if you are affected by Vitiligo. Consult a qualified and experienced homeopath at the earliest. Homeopathy offers good chances of recovery to the Vitiligo patients.”
