        abstract = {This review explores the severity of the vitiligodisease and a natural approach for its cure.Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder characterized by the progressive loss of melanocytes, leading to depigmented patches on the skin. Affecting approximately 1-2% of the global population, vitiligo can significantly impact quality of life and psychosocial well-being. This review provides a comprehensive overview of vitiligo, including its classification, clinical symptoms, and underlying pathogenesis, which involves a complex interplay of innate and adaptive immunity, oxidative stress, and environmental factors. Additionally, we introduce Brosimum gaudichaudii, a tropical tree known for its medicinal properties, which typically grows to 20-30 meters in height and features broad, leathery leaves and small, cluster-like fruits. We detail its taxonomical classification, pharmacology, and chemical constituents. We explore the mechanisms of action of B. gaudichaudii and propose that its extracts may offer promising benefits in the treatment of vitiligo. By integrating current knowledge on the pathophysiology of vitiligo with the pharmacological properties of B. gaudichaudii, this review highlights the potential for this plant as a natural therapeutic agent in managing vitiligo.},
