Hello Preeti, What medication is your son taking right now? If it is helping then ideally you should continue it. Do you have a family history of vitiligo? And it is fast spreading in nature? Ayurveda gives complete resolution in few cases but we can arrest its spread.

To better understand the situation, I would ask about your son’s overall health—how is his digestion, appetite, and energy level? Does he have any stress, emotional issues, or a family history of autoimmune conditions? Also, what kind of food is he consuming, and is he experiencing any other skin issues or health problems like allergies or dryness?

Vitiligo, huh? Yeah, Ayurveda definitely has its way of approching it. Sounds like you've already a started down that pathway, which is good. Seeing some improvements is promising, means something's working right. But you know, vitiligo can be tricky, everyone's different, some cases take time. Ayurveda focuses on balancing the tridoshas - vata, pitta, kapha - which could be contributing to your son's condition, it's like restoring harmony. Now, about the complete cure thing, it's important to be realistic. Ayurveda can help in managing symptoms and preventing progression, but saying a 100% cure – that's a bit ambitious for anyone to guarantee. Internally, boosting your son’s agni (digestive fire) is crucial. Digestive issues can aggravate skin conditions, so make sure his diet supports that. Warm, easy-to-digest foods, reducing nightshade veggies like tomatoes, potatoes. They're often avoided due to potential doshic imbalance. Externally, natural oils like coconut or mustard oil might be beneficial for daily massage - helps with blood circulation. Your doctor could be using 'Bakuchi' oil or paste, common in treating vitiligo. But ensure you're following their advice closely. Reducing stress through something gentle like yoga or meditation is another piece of the puzzle. Mind-body harmony is a big deal here. Consistency is key. Keep following the prescribed treatment, maintain regular check-ups. And remember, patience – it’s not an overnight process – there's no one-size-fit-all timeline here. Work closely with your Ayurvedic doc and keep tracking those little improvements. Stay observant – adjust as necessary.
