Vitiligo: What you should you know?

Are you disturbed with those white patches on your body? Depressed about that? Don’t worry! The ayurvedic approach towards Vitiligo disease can help you a lot!

Vitiligo is a skin disease in which the skin gets discoloured with white patches over it. It can occur in both body & scalp. In the first stage white patches appear in the skin but with time it spreads throughout the body. This particular disease is not infectious or painful but it has serious psychological impacts. Especially in India, it is associated with serious social stigma.

The first question that comes in mind is why are these patches appearing? Your immunity system has a big role to play here. If the immunity system gets overactive, it destroys the skin colour pigment, melanocytes. At times it has been found that due to some stressful event or exposure to excessive heat, have destroyed your skin pigmentation, turning the skin surface white.

 

The ayurvedic approach towards Vitiligo

According to Ayurveda, vitiligo also known as Shwitra occurs due to the aggravation of Pitta in the skin. There are five kinds of Pitta. The Bhajrak Pitta which is responsible for skin colouration gets imbalanced if a person has vitiligo. This forms ama which affects deeper body tissues like nutrient plasma, blood, muscles and lymph leading to discolouration of the skin. 

Though this disease is quite difficult to treat, by far the ayurvedic remedies have worked successfully. During the treatment, a proper diet is suggested and the specific herbal combination is given to the patients to pacify the Pitta & clean the ama.

Vitiligo Treatment With Ayurvedic Hands

Vitiligo a.k.a Leucoderma is a pigmentation disorder in which the Melanocytes (pigmentation cells) in the skin area are completely destroyed. It results in the appearance of white patches on the skin in different parts of the body. Vitiligo starts as a small patch, but over a time period, it starts to spread throughout the body. Though it is not contagious but affects the person psychologically.
Switra or Kilasa is the Ayurvedic term of Vitiligo. Vatika, Paithika, and Kaphaj are the three forms of Switra. They have the features of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Causes of Vitiligo

•  Vitiligo is classified as an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system destroys its own body tissues.

Vitiligo Treatment

Even though many treatments are available for Vitiligo, it is quite difficult to treat the disorder entirely. Ayurveda, the ancient medication offers the safest treatment for Vitiligo with nil side effects. The disease is treated instead of treating the symptoms in this holistic treatment. Ayurveda helps to improve metabolism of the body which in turn enhances body’s immunity

•  Ayurveda cleanses and purifies the blood and restores the skin color
•  Corrects the digestion and prescribes a proper diet avoiding Virudhahara (unbalanced diet)
•  The holistic approach does not only treat Vitiligo completely but also arrests the relapse and spread of the disease.
