White patches spreading for >6 months with stress suggests a chronic skin imbalance in Ayurveda, commonly related to impaired Rakta + Pitta imbalance (often correlated with vitiligo/leucoderma). Bakuchi (Psoralea corylifolia) is one of the main Ayurvedic herbs used, but it is not a standalone cure. It works best with proper internal detox 1. Core herbal support Bakuchi oil or powder (external application carefully, usually with sunlight exposure under guidance) Khadirarishta – helps blood purification Manjistha – improves skin pigmentation and detoxifies blood 2. Important lifestyle correction Reduce stress (very important trigger in your case) Avoid excessive sour, salty, and junk foods Stop milk + fish combination (if taken together) Avoid chemical creams and harsh soaps 3. Diet guidance Fresh fruits, green vegetables Bitter foods (karela, neem leaves in small quantity) Plenty of water and light meals 4. Key caution Bakuchi can cause skin sensitivity to sunlight, so it must be used carefully Since patches are large and spreading, self-treatment is not recommended for long duration

Please don’t worry, with the right approach and patience, Ayurveda can help manage this condition effectively. About Bakuchi—yes, it is one of the best medicines for white patches (Shwitra).

Leukosin – 2 tsp twice daily after meals Bakuchi Ghana Vati – 2 tablets twice daily after meals Erand Bhrasht Haritaki – 2 tablets at bedtime These will help correct the internal imbalance and support skin healing gradually. For local application (important) Bakuchi + Gomutra Arka can be applied locally But please remember: This can cause blister formation Do not apply on your own without guidance Always start under supervision of an Ayurvedic physician Important in your case Since your patches are: Large Spreading Present for more than 6 months You should definitely consider Shodhana Chikitsa (Panchakarma), especially Virechana.
