HELLO NAINA, In Ayurveda, vitiligo is categorised as "SWITRA" or "KILASA" , which refers to skin discolouration caused by an imbalance of doshas, particularly pitta( governs heat, metabolism, and pigmentation ) and sometimes kapha(governs stability and moisture). The disease is considered tridoshaja ( involving all three doshas), but with pitta dominance because pitta controls melanin or pigmentation in the skin. ROOT CAUSES -improper diet- e.g; milk with fish, sour+ milk- viruddha ahara - poor digestion- leads to toxin buildup - emotional stress- aggravates doshas and autoimmune response -long term use of harsh medicines - vitamin and mineral deficiencies(especially B12, D, COPPER) TREATMENT GOAL -stop the spread -detox the body -stimulate pigmentation - support long term skin healing -prevent recurrence - stop new spots, re-pigment exist ones, restore confidence and skin health naturally START INTERNALLY WITH 1) BAKUCHI CHURNA- 125 mg once daily slowly increase to 250 mg with honey or ghee in morning = stimulates melanocytes 2) KHADIRARISHTA- 20 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner = detoxifies blood, clears skin 3) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI- 1 tab twice daily after meals = improves liver and metabolism 4) MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA- 15ml with water twice daily before meals = anti-inflammatory, blood cleanser 5) GUDUCHI TABELTS- 1 tab twice a day in morning and night = builds immunity, reduces autoimmune reaction 6) RASAMANIKYA- 65 mg with honey in morning = stimulate pigmentation(best one ) LOCAL APPLICATIONS 1) BAKUCHI TAILA+ GOMUTRA - apply directly on spots , sit in early morning sun-10 mins, then wash 2) MANJISTHA+ NEEM+ TURMERIC+ BAKUCHI CHURNA PASTE - make a paste with rose water or aloevera gel apply for 20 mins then rinse = helps purify skin and reduce spread 3) NEEM OIL + COCONUT OIL(50:50)- apply at night = soothes skin, reduces inflammation DIETARY GUIDLINESS TO FOLLOW STRICTLY AVOID -milk+ sour fruits like orange, lemon - milk+ salt or salty snacks - fish + milk -curd, panner- especially at night - fermented foods- bread, vinegar, pickles -junk food, chocolates, cola, chips INCLUDE -FRUITS=apple, papaya, pomegranate, jamun, figs -VEGETABLES= pumpkin, ash gourd, spinach,carrots -PROTEINS= moong dal , tofu, soaked almonds, ghee -SUPERFOODS= amla, turmeric, black pepper, sesame seeds -BUTTERMILK DRINK warm water, avoid ice cold drinks. cook fresh food. try to eat at the same time daily. LIFESTYLE AND MIND MANAGEMENT PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances all doshas, calms stress -SHEETALI/ SHEETKARI- cools pitta, soothes mind -Bhramari- calms nervous system and skin OTHER -sleep by 10 pm -morning sun exposure for 10-15 min - avoid exposure to chemical creams, fairness products - try trakata(candle gazing) to stabilise mind and reduce emotional triggers HEALING TIMELINES 1-2 MONTHS= skin health improves, new spots stop 3-6 MONTHS= light re-pigmentation starts 6-12 MONTHS= visible color returns in patches DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY TO GET RESULT HOPE THIS MIGHT HELP YOU WISH YOU A SPEEDY RECOVERY THANK YOU DR.

Reducing vitiligo through Ayurveda focuses on balancing doshas, particularly Pitta imbalances, improving digestion (agni), and maintaining overall skin health. Starting with diet, emphasize foods that pacify Pitta such as cooling and hydrating items. Incorporate foods like balancing leafy greens, cucumbers, and bitter gourd in your meals. Avoid spicy, oily, and sour foods as they can aggravate Pitta dosha, potentially worsening vitiligo. Turmeric and ginger, known for their anti-inflammatory properties, may be beneficial. You can prepare a paste with turmeric and water, apply it to affected areas, but remember to do a patch test first! Also, incorporating turmeric in your meals supports overall health. Focus on nurturing your digestive fire. Regular detoxification practices can help, like drinking warm water with a slice of lemon first thing on rising. Yoga and meditation can lessen stress, a known exacerbator for vitiligo. Simple breathing exercises, such as pranayama, practiced daily, might provide calmness and stress reduction. It's essential to follow a balanced routine - consistent sleep patterns, regular meals, and moderation in physical activities. Try to get sunlight on affected areas for 20-30 minutes in the early morning, as moderate sun exposure can be helpful. For external applications, traditional ayurvedic treatments like Bakuchi oil might be effective, although it should be used cautiously as it can cause irritation. Perform a patch test on a small area. It's crucial to sustain an optimistic mindset and be patient, because Ayurvedic interventions often take time to show effects. Please consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before beginning these remedies to ensure they suit your specific constitution and health condition.

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.
