Hello Ram,
Please tell if the patches are fast spreading? Also give detailed account of their dietary intake and lifestyle, stress levels etc. this information is necessary to determine the cause of pathology! Also did the pigmento help?

Oh, vitiligo can be a bit tricky, especially if it’s been part of one's life for such a long time. You've mentioned that it’s spreading slowly, and controlling that is vital. Some principles from Ayurveda might help in managing the condition.
So, first off, it's about balancing the doshas. Vitiligo is often associated with vitiation of the Pitta and Kapha doshas, leading to disturbance in the body's melanocytes. You might want to consider tweaking the diet. Avoid sour, spicy, and fermented foods, as they may aggravate Pitta. Favor foods like bitter gourd, neem, and turmeric – they’re awesome for balancing Pitta and have cleansing properties.
A few important herbs are considered helpful for vitiligo – Bakuchi (Psoralea corylifolia) is well-known. You can use Bakuchi oil externally on the patches, but carefully do a patch test first 'cause it can be potent. Internally, you could use it under guidance, in powdered form mixed with warm water. Do this under supervision, though.
Keep your gut health in check, too. Healthy digestion means balanced doshas. Maybe try Triphala at night with warm water, which helps in keeping the digestive fire (Agni) strong and supports detoxification. Small things like these can have a nice impact on slowing down the spread.
Moreover, maintaining a daily routine – like yoga or meditation – can reduce stress levels, and stress is a known trigger for vitiligo patches. Pranayama, especially Anulom Vilom, could be beneficial.
Remember, it’s not just about what you apply or eat, it’s also about what you avoid. Sometimes, even external factors like chemical-based cosmetics might act as irritants, so going natural can be key.
Ayurvedic treatments like Panchakarma might additionally offer support by detoxifying the body, but this requires consulting a qualified practitioner who can tailor the treatment to the individual's constitution.
Hope these ideas help, and it's always good to work closely with a healthcare provider to tailor treatments to your specific needs and monitor progress!
