Ginkgo and Skin condition

HERB HELPS SKIN CONDITION

Up to two percent of the population has vitiligo, a difficult-to-treat skin disorder in which a loss of pigment-producing cells creates white patches on various parts of the body. A recent review of potential natural treatments for vitilago highlights a study using 40 mg of Ginkgo biloba, three times per day for six months. Of those taking ginkgo, disease progression was halted in 80%, and 40% experienced complete repigmentation, compared with only 8% in the placebo group. "Ginkgo’s apparent efficacy without the need for phototherapy – thus eliminating the adverse events inherent with phototherapy make sit a therapeutic option worth investigating," said the authors.
