Doctors’ responses
Yes you can use kumkumadi oil for skin brightening.
Since you have been cured with homoeopathic treatment, it is best ask the same doctor for skin brightening, so that it will not trigger. From ayurvedic treatment I can recommend Aloevera gel and kumkumadi oil on alternate night .
Hello Mrs. Kiruba,
It’s good to hear that your leucoderma (vitiligo) spots have reduced with treatment. Once the condition is stable — meaning no new white patches are forming — Ayurveda focuses on restoring normal pigmentation and maintaining healthy, even-toned skin through herbs, oils, and proper diet.
✅AYURVEDIC OIL FOR PIGMENTATION AND BRIGHTENING
You can safely start gentle Ayurvedic oils that promote complexion and nourish skin. Some of the best options are
✅Nalpamaradi Tailam (Kerala Ayurveda formula)
Enriched with turmeric, vetiver, and tree barks.
Improves natural glow and skin tone, lightens dark areas, and helps in pigmentation balance. Apply a few drops on affected area or whole face, massage gently for 10–15 minutes, and wash off with lukewarm water after 30 minutes. (Avoid leaving overnight if skin is sensitive.)
✅ Kumkumadi Tailam
Classical beauty oil made with saffron, sandalwood, manjistha, and lotus. Helps even out skin tone and restores natural brightness. Use: 2–3 drops at night on clean face; massage gently.
✅ Manjisthadi Taila
Purifies blood and helps maintain pigmentation balance after leucoderma recovery. Can be alternated with Kumkumadi or Nalpamaradi oil.
✅Internal Ayurvedic Support (Optional)
To maintain healthy skin and prevent recurrence:
1 Manjisthadi Kashya 15 ml twice daily with equal water – helps detoxify blood. 2 Arogyavardhini Vati 1-0-1 twice daily after food – supports liver and metabolism. 3 Amla Juice - 15 ml morning empty stomach Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants; take daily for skin rejuvenation.
✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE TIPS
Include fresh fruits (amla, pomegranate, carrot, beetroot, papaya) regularly.
Avoid sour and fermented foods like curd, tamarind, vinegar, and pickles (especially at night).
Avoid fish and milk together or milk with salty/spicy food (can aggravate skin imbalance).
Practice pranayama (Anulom Vilom, Bhramari) to balance doshas and improve oxygenation.
Stay hydrated; drink herbal water infused with manjistha or tulsi leaves.
For your current stage (post-treatment & healing): ✅ Start with Kumkumadi or Nalpamaradi Tailam for glow. ✅ Maintain a clean, balanced Pitta-friendly diet. ✅ Support internally with Amla or Manjisthadi Kwath.
With consistent routine for 2–3 months, skin tone becomes more even, healthy, and radiant.
Wishing you a good health😊
Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO KIRUBA,
Leucoderma often called Vitiligo, is a skin condition where certain areas lose their natural color (melanin), leading to white or pale patches In your case, the lips were mainly affected- now improving after homeopathic treatment.
According to Ayurveda, skin health is governed by Brajaka pitta, a type of Pitta dosha responsible for skin color and glow When this pitta gets disturbed (due to wrong diet, emotional stress, or toxins), it mixes abnormally with kapha and vata doshas This imbalance disturbs the rakta dhatu (blood tissue) and mamsa dhatu (muscle tissue), leading to loss of pigmentation in certain areas- this is called shwitra
In simple words -when your digestion or metabolism is disturbed -the blood and tissues do not get nourished properly -the color giving cells become weak -and white patches appear
TREATMENT GOALS -remove root causes- correct digestion and metabolism -purify blood and tissues -balance doshas especially pitta and kapha -stimulate melanocytes for depigmentation -nourish skin and restore normal complexion -prevent recurrence and maintain healthy skin tone
