Leucoderma treatment using Radish
A paste made from the seeds of the radish is valuable in treating leucoderma.
About thirty-five grams of these seeds should be powdered in two teaspoons of
vinegar and applied on the white patches.
Leucoderma treatment using Goose Foot
The use of goose foot is beneficial in the treatment of this disease. This
vegetable should be taken twice daily, in the morning as well as in the evening,
for two months continuously. Simultaneously, the juice of the leaves should be
applied over the patches of leucoderma.
Leucoderma treatment using Turmeric
Turmeric mixed with mustard oil has also proved useful in leucoderma. About
500 gm of turmeric should be pounded and soaked in 8 litres of water at night. It
should be boiled in the morning till only one litre of water is left, and then be
strained and mixed with 500 ml of mustard oil. This mixture should be heated till
only the oil is left. It should then be strained and preserved in a bottle. The
mixture should be applied on the white patches every morning and evening for a
few months.
Leucorrhoea, commonly known as whites, refers to a whitish discharge from the
female genitals. It is an abnormal disease condition of the reproductive organs of
women. The condition may continue for weeks or months at a time. If not treated
properly in the initial stages, it may become chronic.
Home Remedies for Leucorrhoea
Leucorrhoea treatment using Amaranth Root
Amaranth is considered an excellent home remedy for leucorrhoea. The rind of
the root of this plant should be rubbed in 25 ml of water. It should then be
strained and given to the patient daily in the morning as well as in the evening.
The root of this plant is, however, very susceptible to moths. Hence, care should
be taken to see that it is not moth-eaten. In case the root is not available, its
leaves and branches may be similarly processed and used.
Leucorrhoea treatment using Lady's Fingers
The use of lady fingers is another effective home remedy for this disease. A
decoction of this vegetable is prepared by boiling 100 gm of the fresh vegetable,
cut transversely, in half a litre of water for twenty minutes. It should then be
strained and sweetened. This decoction, given in doses of 60 to 90 ml frequently,
is beneficial in all irritable conditions of genito-urinary organs, including
leucorrhoea.
