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.

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.
