Ginger and turmeric in vitiligo

Vitiligo affects 0.5-2% of the world's population. Autoimmune destruction of melanocytes causes depigmented white spots. Oxidative stress and autoimmunity are the two pillars of the disease.

Interest mechanisms

  • Melanocyte antioxidant — NRF2 activation protects melanocytes from oxidative stress (primary cause of their destruction)
  • Immunomodulation — curcumin regulates cytotoxic CD8+ T cells which attack melanocytes
  • NF-κB inhibition — reduces perilesional inflammation (active edges of spots)
  • SOD and catalase — ginger increases these antioxidant enzymes deficient in vitiligo
  • H2O2 reduction — vitiligious melanocytes accumulate H2O2; ginger neutralizes it
  • Tyrosinase — curcumin may support tyrosinase activity (melanin production)

Complementary to phototherapy

The systemic antioxidant can potentiate UVB phototherapy and PUVA by protecting residual melanocytes during repigmentation.
