TREATING VITILIGO with AYURVEDA:

By Dr. SUNEET ARORA

Vitiligo, also called Leucoderma is a chronic and long-lasting disorder where white patches develop on skin. Vitiligo is a common autoimmune pigmentary disorder (melanocyte deficit) in which patches of skin loses their colour.
Vitiligo is compared with Shwitra in Ayurveda. Shwitra is a form of kustharoga in Ayurveda that is induced by the vitiation of tridoshasas well as dhatus such as rasa, rakta, mamsa and meda. Skin diseases such as shwitra can be caused by any impairment of the bhrajaka Pitta, Vata, and kapha dosha.
Ayurveda offers a lot of potential when it comes to treating autoimmune skin disorders. The Ayurvedic approach to autoimmune disease treatment focuses on restoring balance and boosting natural immunity. In addition to that a customized combination of panchakarma and combinations of various potential ingredients, diets and lifestyle recommendations work on the overall disease management. Treatment protocol  includes the shodhan and shamanachikitsa. The shodhanchikitsa (Biopurification) includes deepana pachan snehapana followed by vamana (emesis) virechana (purgation) and raktamokshana (bloodletting) along with the combination of shamanachikitsa (medicinal therapy) which includes Ayurveda medicine formulations taken orally and to be applied on the patches.
