Winter Skin Care - Caring for Vitiligo in Winter

Caring for Vitiligo in Winter
By Wanakee Hill, ND

Winter temperatures and drying heat present challenges for any skin. It is an especially trying time of year for those with vitiligo.
Skin is a living, breathing organ that needs feeding. All natural skin care is important to skin health and very necessary for vitiligo skin.
I recommend starting with good quality soap with all natural ingredients that are shown to help heal vitiligo. The blackseed and honey soap as well as the hemp and neem soap that I recommend to all clients are examples of soaps that cleanse and hydrate the skin, while discouraging inflammation and bacteria. These soaps are a good choice for vitiligo skin, dry skin or any type of inflamed skin, especially in the winter.
Hyrdation is very important to winter skin and very important to vitiligo. Vitiligo Herbal Skin Cream Extra Strength provides nutrients, enzymes, anti-inflammatory agents and herbal psoralens that encourage re-pigmentation while quelling inflammatory responses that encourage vitiligo to spread and inflammation inducing agents to build up on the inner and outer layers of skin. Vitiligo Herbal Skin Cream is rich in healing emollients in a creamy lotion that helps to protect vitiligo skin from the damaging effects of winter weather and drying indoor heat.
Hydration from the inside is equally important to healthful skin and to encourage healing vitiligo. Water, with a twist of lemon or lime, throughout the day, encourage the thyroid and entire metabolic system to function properly. Water hydrates the layers of skin from the inside out. It cleans the system of toxins and debris, while encouraging the healthful flow of blood and lymph fluid.
Supplements are also important to healthful winter skin. My herbal regimen encourages re-pigmentation in vitiligo. I recommend daily supplementation with picrorrhiza, phyllanthus and holy basil, to encourage balance in all internal organs, and to promote re-pigmentation in all vitiligo patches, in addition to keeping skin healthful throughout the winter. The nutritional value of these supplements are immense and specific to the needs of those with skin ailments, such as vitiligo. Keeping the immune system running smoothly and efficiently with supplements lessen the harsh effects of winter on skin, and especially on vitiligo skin.
This winter, take good care of your skin, inside and out, with the nature based skin regimen recommended in my book, Wanakee’s Nutritional Approach to Vitiligo & Other Autoimmune Diseases.

Is fat making you sick?

Why you should detoxify your body and remove excess fatty tissue, toxins and stagnant fluids.
Toxins interfere with thyroid function. Thyroid function is directly related to vitiligo. Detoxifying to rid the body of stored toxins helps to remove thyroid suppressing toxins. A well functioning thyroid is shown to help stop the spreading of vitiligo. I recommend a detoxifying cleanse and daily detoxifying herbs to encourage a healthy thyroid, endocrine system, blood, lymph and healthful organs, which all help to heal vitiligo and prevent the spreading of the disease. Toxins store in fatty tissue and in the liver. I recommend cleansing the liver of toxins with my detoxifying liver cleanse and defense kit. For those who are overweight, I also recommend using the 15 day diet cleanse and flush to release those toxins stored in fat and usher them out of the body to promote healing. Both kits are available at TheWellnessWell.net I am detoxifying with both kits simultaneously to remove congestion from my liver to promote digestion and general health, along with the fat flush to remove excess fat and toxins from body to encourage healing through the fall and winter seasons, when we tend to consume heavier foods.

Spider bite was no delight! Vitiligo Treatment Revelation!

Along came a spider and added vitiligo healing knowledge beside her.

I recently had the displeasure of the misery of the brown recluse spider bite. It was a nasty and painful experience. Researching ways to remove the toxic venom, prevent further tissue damage and facilitate healing, I found many gems that help to facilitate faster healing in vitiligo and other autoimmune diseases.
One such healer is Tulsi, an Auyervedic herb that is commonly called holy basil. I dress my spider wounds daily with holy basil and lavender. My healing is still underway, and I still have stained bandages where the powerful healing herbs are drawing inflammation from the wounds.
Tulsi, or holy basil is an impressive herb. Not only am I using the herb on my wounds, I am taking the herb internally to facilitate healing, prevent infection and to purify my blood of the toxins and venoms that accompany a poisonous spider bite.
The more I researched tulsi, the more I realized this one herb is tailor made for healing vitiligo. If you’ve read my book, Wanakee’s Nutritional Approach to Vitiligo & Other Autoimmune Diseases, you know that vitiligo sufferers tend to have a malfunctioning thyroid, slow metabolism, faulty digestion, malabsorption, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, problems digesting proteins, carbohydrates and fats, liver and pancreas congestion, along with other endocrine problems, stress and of course, skin problems.
This one herb is shown to aid all of these maladies. Yes, all! I recommend Tulsi daily, in addition to picrorrhiza, to heal vitiligo from the inside and directly on the skin to facilitate rapid re-pigmentation to the skin. The aromatic effects are so therapeutic, I love going to bed and smelling the tulsi and lavender mix on my arm, as I meditate before sleep.
The Vitiligo Rapid Re-Pigmentation Kit introduces holy basil, or tulsi to your inner body, while the new Vitiligo Winter Pigment Boosting Kit that debuts very soon, will have a vitiligo essential oil blend that includes tulsi and other powerful essential oils shown to facilitate pigment in white patches. This blend of oils is brushed directly onto all white areas, just before using the cream, to maximize color returning as we head into the weaker sun months of fall and winter.
The Winter Pigment Boosting Kit will also have homeopathic Ruta Grav in the therapeutic CM dose, which works at the cellular level to correct vitiligo and encourage pigmentation. Ruta Grav is used for pain and trauma to the skin. This is another part of the spider bite regimen that helps me to heal faster, as well as boosting color in my vitiligo patches, though I was not getting much sun while on bed rest.
I am also introducing a new soap in the Winter Pigment Boosting Kit that will help to facilitate faster pigmenting. Its base is hemp, which is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, along with neem and other vitiligo healing herbs.
Working on this new kit and revamping the Vitiligo Rapid Re-Pigmentation Kit are the gifts of knowledge gained in researching ridding my body of the venom and toxins from the dreadful brown recluse spider. I’m grateful that something very exciting and healing came from such a traumatic experience.
The newly revised Vitiligo Rapid Re-Pigmentation Kit is available now! The Winter Pigment Boosting Kit is coming soon!
Please use the coupon code surprise with your purchase of the Vitiligo Rapid Re-Pigmenting Kit to reserve a special gift when you purchase the Winter Pigment Boosting Kit that is available later this month.

A healing crisis

A healing crisis happens when you're making positive changes inside your body to correct imbalances, remove toxins and disease and cleanse the blood, organs and system. Sometimes, you get worse before you get better.

In the case of vitiligo, I always recommend liver cleansing, diet changes, exercise, sunshine and other natural methods that help to facilitate healing.

In a small number of clients, a healing crisis occurs where they may regress, or start to show new white areas during the initial treatment. I assure them this healing crisis is normal and will pass. It is the body's way of purging toxins, diseases and yes, vitiligo, from the body. The healing crisis most often occurs simultaneously with regaining color. Within a relatively short period of time, the healing crisis passes, and the skin continues to regain its color.

When decongesting the liver, balancing the immune system, eating healthfully and getting plenty of rest, exercise and sunshine to improve health and vitiligo, remember that you may see some signs of a healing crisis. This is not the time to quit. This is the time to continue the regimen so that your natural skin color comes back permanently.

In my book, I offer a step by step guide to how I've dealt with my own vitiligo, in addition to research and feeback for the last 32 years.

For those beginning a new regimen, I recommend the Vitiligo Starter Kit, which includes my book. The book is so important to understanding vitiligo, what causes it, what the latest research shows, and the healthful regimen that helps to stop the spreading and encourage returning natural skin color. Vitiligo is a disease that responds best to nutrition, inside and out.

For those who are already on their way to healing and have read the book, I recommend the Rapid Re-pigmentation Kit, which continues to cleanse, nourish and heal vitiligo, inside and out.

I offer free consultations throughout the healing process to ensure success. Call Kee: 1 817 296 2829 or email me with any questions, concerns or comments.

Fall/Winter Vitiligo Regimen

Many of us put our skin on the back burner when we get into the fall and winter seasons. These are important seasons for an aggressive vitiligo regimen. Since the sun is not as strong and the layers of clothing make it much more difficult to absorb natural UV light and vitamin D 3, the focus on an aggressive vitiligo regimen becomes even more important.

I recommend the liver cleansing detox as a first line of defense against spreading and regaining color. I also recommend using picrorrhiza daily, along with Vitiligo Herbal Skin Cream morning, afternoon and at night.

This aggressive regimen encourages the cells to continue to heal so that they are capable of producing natural skin color.
It also enables the melanocytes to harness energy from the weaker sunshine that we are absorbing in these colder months.

Eating foods that are heavier would include adding soups to the diet. Pumpkin, squash, carrot, cauliflower, broccoli and other soup recipes for the fruits or vegetables that are harvested in fall and winter months are highly recommended.

This regimen is highly focused on dense nutrition, an aggressive re-pigmenting regimen, detoxification and a bit of meditation where we focus our minds on the white areas of our bodies, and mentally coloring in the white areas with a crayon or pen that is exactly in our natural tone.

Bringing together mind, body and spirit throughout the fall and winter will enable us to unveil newly pigmented skin in the spring, as we peel off the layers of clothing and embrace the natural sunshine that will respond beautifully to all the hard work we've done on our vitiligo all fall and winter long.

I recommend the Rapid Re-pigmenting Kit, Detoxification Kit and daily sunshine, even when it's cold, snowy or overcast, for pigmentation during winter and fall.

Our specials this fall include a free 200ml bottle of vitiligo herbal skin cream when purchasing the Fall/Winter 5 pack. This offer will ensure enough skin cream to last until the early signs of spring! Happy Re-pigmenting!

Vitiligo, Digestion, The Liver, and Malabsorption

People with vitiligo tend to have malfunctioning thyroids and low stomach acid, which leads to liver congestion. Liver congestion leads to mal-absorption, where food breaks down slowly and incompletely, if at all. These sluggish metabolism issues lead to poor digestion which is associated with vitamin, mineral, enzyme and other deficiencies that encourage the spreading of vitiligo and inhibit the healing process.
Cleansing the liver daily with the right foods is beneficial to vitiligo; however, at least twice a year, I recommend a thorough vitiligo healing cleanse:
