The Chinese medicine prescription for treating vitiligo is based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In TCM, vitiligo is referred to as "white refutation wind." It is believed that vitiligo occurs due to insufficient qi and blood, stagnant blood blocking the flow, and disharmony of qi and blood in the skin. Treatment focuses on replenishing qi and nourishing blood, promoting blood circulation to unblock meridians, and dispelling wind while tonifying the kidneys.
