Khella

🌱 What it is

Khella (Ammi visnaga) is a flowering plant used traditionally in Egyptian folk medicine; an extract of its seeds has been studied for skin repigmentation.

📜 Where it comes from

Khella has been used in traditional Egyptian folk medicine for centuries, historically taken for kidney stones and respiratory complaints. Its potential for skin repigmentation came to scientific attention in the twentieth century after researchers studying traditional Egyptian remedies isolated compounds from its seeds and began studying them for vitiligo. This represents a case where an old Middle Eastern folk plant led to modern dermatological study.
