How it works
Psychological stress triggers cortisol release and activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which can dysregulate immune function and worsen autoimmune activity. Reducing stress load may reduce the autoimmune drive underlying vitiligo.
Stress management is unlikely to reverse existing pigment loss but may slow progression. Best approached as part of a broader treatment plan. Consider professional psychological support if vitiligo is causing significant distress - which is common and valid.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
