Chickpeas cure leukoderma, Banaras University scientists claim
Scientists at the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in Uttar Pradesh have claimed that chickpeas or, “Choley” as they are known in local parlance here can cure Leukoderma, a chronic skin disease that causes loss of pigmentation, resulting in white patches on the skin.
So far there has been no knowledge of any kind of permanent and certain treatment for curing Leukoderma. Moreover, the allopathic medicines and ointments are not only expensive but also fail to cure the disease permanently.
Scientists have found that application of a poly-herbal ointment with chickpeas as its base can effectively treat Leukoderma.
“We used lot of things to cure Leukoderma, but never been successful in curing this disease. This time we are curing patients by putting chickpea ointment on their affected areas. We also recommend the patients to consume lot of chickpeas in their regular diet too,” said S.N. Ojha, one of the doctors.
Amino acids found in chickpeas promote synthesis of melanin (skin pigment) formation cells, regenerate the pigment cells and help treat the chronic skin disorder.
“When we took up this project, we followed the Ayurvedic methodology to prepare an ointment to cure this disease. In Ayurveda, it is mentioned that chickpea can cure the problem of Leukoderma. The ointment made out of chickpea protein is very effective on patients suffering from Leukoderma,” said Yamini Bhushan Tripathi, a scientist at the Medicinal Chemistry Department of BHU.
Although Leukoderma is not a contagious disease, it is viewed as leprosy, an object of social stigma. It is an autoimmune disease in which the body starts producing antibodies that destroy cells known as melanocytes giving the skin its normal colour.

There is still unknown mechanism as if the immune system cause vitiligo, how comes chick peas can cure, so there maybe a loss of cellular function or some essential protein need to regulate production of melanin is missed or dysfunctioned in these individuals system. A type of protein can stimulate melanin production but can not cure if the immune system cause vitiligo as immun system has its own mechanism to work, in whole body effected by. If it is a cure, making pure, easy to use, and very strong forms of chick peas would give us short term and cheap, easy treatment. Science should work on this, not only eat and make a paste apply seems so primitive in this age of world when we consider that life is heavy on human being as know things to do capture of our time like a monster. Mean is defeating a big problem as it is bad for quality of life mustn’t be again bending on something will double this bad influence to our quality of life. Science is for to make things practical in use and should serve people needs at first, this is what vitiligo patients need to get, already tired of all other long term hard treatment models. Unfortunately vitiligo has never get enough attention from science as it is the oldest disease which became a secret of life for hundred yeras. If they sure it is a cure, we all expect their high knowledge to serve to millions of people’s long run suffer. Wish all the other disease have the similar threat from science to bring science first for human needs, not the groups profits. This has to be done soon and must be cheap to be applicable for all those who has vitiligo and betrayed all the time..
can u plzz tell me about the exact method this ointment was prepared…..n was black chicpea flour used?? or urad was used?? with cover or without cover..all this is quite confusing..kindly help me…
Cure or treat? Which is it? Article states both, but they are not the same.
tats really nice…..that u spoke to the professor itself…but still my question seems to be ananswered…was it the urad or black chicpea,,,wt or wtout cover used?? cz iv been using urad…so my concern is more…just wanted the answer fr this,,,
Sharon,
The trial was always with chickpeas and not URAD.
I think it is better to wait or maybe we can compose a mail together and send it to the professor or maybe we can have a conf. call or online chat.
Kash, do you think you can set this up?
Regards
Hi Everyone,
Just got email with regards to life style changes.
He said …to consume chickpeas in any shape and form.About 250 grams daily cooked any way.Garbanzo chana etc. Definately not URAD.
If you have no health issues to be cooked with ghee.Which i certainly wont be doing.
Also avoid milk products and meat.
He also said To do some form of physical exercise to get your body to sweat…..sauna steam will do.
He also mentioned doing some prick test on the patches …which i have no idea what he’s on about.
He also asked me to write a letter to him agreeing to consenting in taking part in the trial! How exciting!
Having said that it will be about 3-6 months before the cream is
produced for shipping. lets all keep our fingers crossed
can we hv sm contact no or smtg like that??? wanted to enquire about the medications…………. so that by the time i cld start the trial myself….im bugged up n depressed wt my condition….the powder form of chickpea is easily available in th e market wt the name of “besan”…it could be really nice if we cld chat online smtime..
Kash,
Can you provide the email so that we can participate in the trial as well…
yes..i too wld like to participate in this…
Let me just reiterate that i was asked to send a letter with my address saying that i was willing to register myself for this open clinical study……No cream alas….just to follow life style change
ie eat beans etc
Professor Yamini’s email add is yaminiok@yahoo.com
Frankly speaking the thought of eating that much garbanzo beans everyday fills me with horror. My poor stomach!
Have to get to the bottom of this pricking of skin business.
Apparently am supposed to inform him in a couple of months time the differnce bet pricked and unpricked skin…SIGH!
Trust me i will get to the bottom of this.
I am like a woman possessd when it comes to finding any treatment reg vitiligo. I,d track down Barack Obama if he had the cure for vitiligo believe me!
Kash,
When I was getting Vitiligo treatment a Dr. tried the pricking business… from what I understand they want to rule out Leprosy, the same way they rule our Thyroid problem as both these diseases can be confused with vitiligo…
In this study I think they are upto something else
I will email him and ask him how we can make the paste…
Ven
His e mail states
“if poss give prick stimulation under aseptic condition and for that contact a dermalogist.He will suggest some means for that.Let me know about the results before and after2-3 months. i am more interested to know the comparative effect of patch sensitisation along the above changes. Therefore please make serious observations on those patches-with and without sensitisation”
Can anyone make sense of the above?
Ven i doubt he will give you the formula for the cream. I did try.
I think its a bit more intricate than just chickpea flour.
If he does please let us all know, otherwise i guess patience is the key.
hey tanx kash…fr the email id….yess itoo wld do nythng to get rid of this sick vitilgo….nytnggggg….il mail n let u knw what the reply is..
