Brief Summary  
Baraá¹£ (Vitiligo) is marked by milky, white, depigmented.
It has a very prominent social and psychological impact
on the patients, with prevalence of 3-4% in India.
The available treatment in modern medicine, including
psoralens, corticosteroids, skin grafting and Monobenzyl
ether, have their own limitations numerous adverse
effects. In Unani medicine, various single and compound
drugs are effectively used in the treatment of vitiligo, but
these drugs need to be evaluated on scientific parameters.
Keeping this in view, the present clinical study has been
designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Safūf
Baraá¹£ in the Management of Baraá¹£ (Vitiligo).
