HELLO VIGNESH,

FOR VITILIGO

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

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

Vitiligo can indeed be unsettling, especially when it appears so prominently, but it’s a condition that can be managed with thoughtful care. Since you’ve already started treatment, it’s crucial to continue with your prescribed regimen from your healthcare provider.

In Ayurveda, vitiligo is often linked to imbalances in the doshas, particularly Pitta and Kapha, along with the improper digestion (agni) affecting the skin (rasa dhatu). Here are some practical Ayurvedic recommendations that might complement your existing treatment:

1. Dietary adjustments: Focus on a diet that pacifies Pitta, as excessive heat can contribute to skin issues. Favor cool, soothing foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and coconuts. Avoid spicy, sour, and salty foods, as well as fermented items like pickles and yogurt at night.

2. Lifestyle changes: Establish a regular, calming routine. Avoid stressors and prioritize sleep. Yoga and Pranayama, particularly calming asanas and breathwork aimed at reducing Pitta, can be beneficial.

3. Herbal Remedies: While continuing with your current medication, herbs such as Bakuchi (Psoralea corylifolia) are traditionally used in Ayurveda. Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before trying any herbs, as they should align with your specific dosha constitution and current treatments.

4. Topical Treatments: Consider using turmeric, mixed with mustard oil, as a topical application on affected areas. It may support skin health, but again, consult before combining with current treatments.

5. Sunlight Exposure: Mild exposure to morning sunlight can stimulate melanin production but be careful to avoid sunburn.

Monitoring how these changes impact your condition over time is vital. Adjust practices if no improvements are observed, but more importantly, maintain open communication with your healthcare providers to ensure your overall regimen is cohesive and targeted effectively toward your needs.

HELLO VIGNESH,

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

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

THANK YOU

Vitiligo can vary quite a bit from person to person, so it’s encouraging to hear that you’re seeing only specific areas affected. In the context of Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, vitiligo is often connected to imbalances in the body’s doshas, particularly an aggravated pitta and disturbed vata, which can lead to issues with agni, your body’s digestive and metabolic fire.

Firstly, focus on balancing your diet. Avoid foods that aggravate pitta, such as spicy, salty, or too sour items. Instead, opt for cooling, mildly sweet, and astringent foods, like fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Incorporate turmeric and neem, well known for their pitta-pacifying and detoxifying properties. Turmeric can be mixed with honey and consumed or applied mixed with coconut oil externally. Neem can be taken as a juice or supplement – be sure to check with your practitioner for specific dosing.

Secondly, meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises) are beneficial for managing stress, which can exacerbate vitiligo. Daily practice of these can help harmonize the vata imbalance and promote more stable energy flow through the nadis.

Herbal applications can also support your skin health. A paste made from bakuchi (Psoralea corylifolia) can sometimes be beneficial, but it’s essential to use this with caution and ideally under supervision due to its potent nature. Regular gentle oil massages, especially with sesame oil, can nourish the dhatus and promote circulation.

Finally, it’s good to focus on a regular routine – your dinacharya – which includes balanced meals, proper sleep, and routine self-care practices aligned with nature’s cycle. This can support your overall vitality which reflects in skin health.

While these measures might help, vitiligo is a condition that often requires comprehensive care. Continue to work closely with your healthcare provider to monitor progression and response to treatments. If you notice rapid changes or have concerns, make sure to seek guidance promptly.
