Treatments & Solutions

So many solutions in a single fruit As a child growing up in the UK during the 1960s and ’70s I didn’t come across #coconuts very often. I certainly had no idea of its health properties or many uses. And I would not have guessed it could be helpful in […]

… as recommended by The Vit Pro This week I am very excited to announce the launch of Vitiligo Store… A new website offering products to help in the day to day management of vitiligo. (Including those that helped in my own recovery.) The site went live four days ago […]
