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

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.

NAMASTE NAINA JI,
Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks melanocytes- cells that produce melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, this results in white patches on the skin
COMMON CAUSES
-genetics- family history
- nutritional deficiencies-especially vitamin b12, D, copper, zinc
- autoimmune disorders-thyroid issues
- stress-emotional or physical trauma
- skin injury or sunburn
-chemical exposure
In Ayurveda vitiligo is referred to as shwitra(a type of kushta roga- skin disease), mainly caused by imbalance of the pitta dosha, combined with kapha and vata involvement.
PATHOGENESIS- viruddha ahara(incompatible food), excessive consumption of sour, salty, fermented food, or mental stress leads to accumulation of toxins(ama) and vitiation of blood and skin tissues.
INTERNALLY START WITH
1) SOMARAJI GHRITA- 2 tsp o emoty stomach with warm water/mik
=detoxifies liver, promotes melanocyte regeneration , very effective in chronic cases.
2) RAS MANIKYA WITH GUDUCHI SATVA- 60mg + 1/2 tsp with honey
=controls autoimmune response, improves skin tone
3) SWARNA MAKSHIK BHASMA- 125 mg with honey at night
= helps improve liver function and immunity
4) CHITRAKADI VATI- 2 tabs after meals
=improves digestion, reduces toxins, balances pitta
5) SHVITRAHARA LEHYA(FROM ARYA VAIDYA SALA, KOTTAKAL)- 1 tsp daily In morning
= specific for vitiligo and leukoderma
6) MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA- 20 ml with water twice daily after meals
=useful in skin disease including eczema, vitiligo
can also go for panchakrma = virechana and raktamokshana at panchakarma clinic
EXTERNAL APPLICATION
1) BAKUCHI OIL- apply on affected area once a day
-after applying expose to mild early morning sunlight 15 mins
2) KUMKUMADI TAILA- safe facial oil to improve skin tone
=apply at night
DIET
-eat black gram, green leafy veggies
-amla, pomegrante, beetroot, carrot
- whole grains, ghee
AVOID
-curd, fish with milk, fermented foods, citrus fruits in excess
-non vegetarian food, alcohol, smoking, processed foods
-cold water bath and harsh cosmetics
STRESS MANAGEMENT
-practice pranayam daily- anulom vilom, brahmari
- meditation reduces cortisol and may help prevent progression
- Can take brahmi vati- 1 tab at night for anxiety reduction
Vitiligo treatments take time. Ayurvedic therapies take 3-6 months or more to show visible improvement
