VITILIGO: A DISEASE WITH A DIFFERENT COLOUR

Have you seen people with patches of skin of a different colour? Do you have this somewhere on your body? No need to give them the stink eye or to be ashamed if you have it. Vitiligo is a medical condition where the skin loses its original colour and white patches of skin appear on different parts of the body. This is caused due to the destruction of Melanocytes, which are the cells that provide pigment (colour) to the skin. It also affects the mucous layer that covers nose, mouth and eye.

http://drrsroy.com/vitiligo.html

What is Vitiligo?


Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease, i.e., disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks some cells of our own body. Vitiligo is also said to be caused due to hereditary influences. The risk factors include a family history of the condition or even any other autoimmune diseases. Vitiligo often appears before age 20.

When to see a doctor


See your doctor if areas of your skin, hair or eyes lose colouring. Vitiligo has no cure. But treatment may help to stop or slow the discolouration process and return some colour to your skin. 

Dr. R. S.  Roy is a pioneer in Ayurveda offering effective ayurvedic treatment for Vitiligo in Kerala

Symptoms of Vitiligo


  • White patches on the skin.
  • Patches are more likely to appear in areas exposed to the sun.
  • Early graying of hair. 
  • Loss of colour inside the mouth.
http://drrsroy.com/vitiligo.html 

http://drrsroy.com/vitiligo.html

Ayurvedic Treatments for Vitiligo


According to Ayurveda, Vitiligo or Shwitra is caused due to aggravation of Pitta in the body. The disease is deep rooted and needs specific treatment that includes right diet and specialized herbal combinations to pacify Pitta and cleanse the body. They include:
  • Whole grains like porridge and whole wheat products instead of highly refined carbohydrates.
  • Adequate hydration 
  • Foods rich in Vitamin C to be minimised.
  • Avoid eating non-vegetarian foods, eggs, milk, and dairy products.
  • Avoid alcoholic and flavoured drinks, ice creams, chocolates and any form of junk food.
  • Avoid intake of sour foods.
  • Neem in any form is useful. Mung dal is also good.
  • Drink water kept in a copper utensil overnight. This helps in increasing melanin production.

Effective Management of Vitiligo With Ayurveda

Vitiligo, characterised by white patches on the skin, is a skin disorder which is caused due to the destruction of melanin producing melanocytes cells. Although Vitiligo is not life threatening and non infectious, the social stigma associated with the disease makes it hard to live with.

http://drrsroy.com/vitiligo.html


Vitiligo starts as a small white patch and gradually spreads to other parts of the body. In some cases they can spread out to the whole body at a fast rate. The spread and extent of the disorder varies with type and from one person to other. They can occur on different parts of the body like arms, feet, face, scalp and so on.

Ayurveda offers effective treatment for Vitiligo by limiting its spread and reducing the area of the white patches. Vitiligo is named as kilasa in Ayurveda. They are classified into three varieties as paithika, vathika and kabhaja based on the imbalance caused by the three doshas, pitta, vata and kabha respectively.

Ayurvedic treatment of Vitiligo at the early stages of the disease can help in limiting its growth and eliminating the colour difference effectively. If it is left untreated for long, the effectiveness of the treatment decreases and the duration required to bring it under control can increase considerably.

 

Cause of Vitiligo


Vitiligo is an auto immune disease where the immune system turns against its own body cells, mistaking them for foreign bodies and effectively killing these cells. Ayurveda describes these conditions to be caused due to intake of food with opposite combination, high mental stress and so on.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Vitiligo


Ayurvedic treatment performed under the guidance of a skilled physician can bring about magical changes in Vitiligo patients. The ayurvedic treatment procedures involve herbal medications, topical medications and other techniques to purify the blood and body from toxins.

http://drrsroy.com/vitiligo.html

The ayurvedic remedy for Vitiligo focuses on treating the cause rather than the symptoms. They involve a methodology to enable repigmentation while ensuring that all possibilities for its recurrence are removed. The treatment techniques are free of any side effects unlike modern medicine.

Dr. R. S.  Roy is a pioneer in Ayurveda offering effective ayurvedic treatment for Vitiligo in Kerala through Amrita Ayurvedic Medical Centre, a leading Ayurveda Dermatology Hospital, dealing with all skin disorders.

A clear skin is one of the strongest desires of any man. Who would not love glowing flawless skin? But most of the people are forced at some point or the other to face Skin Discolouration in their life. 

http://drrsroy.com/discolourations.html

Skin discolouration is often the result of the impact of increased rate of melanin, the skin pigment. Dark spots occur at the odd regions in the body and slowly start to spread giving uneven tones of darkness to the skin. The major causes of melanin production may be excessive exposure to the sun’s rays or the effect of some kind of medication. Skin pigmentation due to pregnancy and nutritional deficiency can also be the causes.
 
Skin colouration can be diagnosed by physical examination by a dermatologist. Personal observation might prove to be enough in most of the cases to conclude on skin discolouration. To find out as to what the cause of the discolouration is, the doctor may investigate upon it by ruling out the reasons one by one. Different skin diseases may also be the responsible factor for skin discolouration.
 
Once the doctor confirms the reason for skin discolouration, the suitable treatment may be decided and initiated. Ayurveda has the best treatment for skin pigmentation and skin discolouration. Usually, ayurveda prefers the method of using creams that reduce the production of skin pigment melanin and then use other ayurvedic measures to restore the glow of the skin.
