When it comes to chronic disorders, you have to follow the scientific method of diagnosis and treatment. It is the safest, most effective and best option you have currently.

Alternative medicine practitioners will trick you into the treatment of “root cause” and “holistic manner” and such feel good terms when alternative medicine practice does not identify any root cause and have no protocols for providing wholesome care.

See the instance of this woman with vitiligo. Vitiligo is a terrible disease and chronic. It takes both mental and physical toll on the person. There is a lot to cope with. And people get desperate, especially when it happens at a young age.

Babchi or Bakuchi seeds/extracts are commonly used for managing vitiligo by Ayurveda/Unani and Siddha practitioners. It is not only ineffective, but is highly dangerous.

Babchi/Bakuchi seeds/extracts related liver injury and liver failure has been reported consistently in published medical literature.

Some have even lead to complete organ failure/death of the person – like this woman here. She has developed acute liver failure – a dreaded condition that either ends in death or a liver transplantation when a herbal supplement is involved.

The plant chemical called Bakuchiol contributes to liver damage. Another chemical called psoralidin is also toxic to cells. Bakuchiol has no clinical benefits identified in humans.

Not only those, Bakuchi can cause severe damage to growing fetus and also damage liver of mothers as shown in preclinical studies.

A recent high quality study showed that Bakuchi plant/seeds contain bavachinin A, bavachin, isobavachalcone and neobavaisoflavone plant chemicals which had high correlation with the hepatotoxicity.

If you are well informed of rightful health choices, then there is a place for the most powerful aspect of clinical medicine – and it is called preventive medicine and it starts with the public and not the doctors.

Do not rely on untested, unscientific traditional treatments that are potentially harmful. Stay aware so that reduction in disease burden starts with you, and does not end well inside a hospital.
