Vitiligo
is an easily visible skin disease characterised by the
appearance
of white patches on skin. It
is
caused due to abnormalities in melanin producing cells. Though modern
medical treatment options are available, ayurvedic treatment for vitiligo is said to have a high success rate. It also ensures relief
without
any
side
effects.
Known
as Kilasa, Shveth Kusht or Shivtra in Ayurveda, vitiligo can be
classified into two: -
- Segmental vitiligo – symptoms appear at early stages and is concentrated on a certain segment of the body only. Its progress stops in a couple of years.
- Non-Segmented vitiligo – more common form of vitiligo, it initially appears as a short burst of loss in pigment on a part of body and later spreads to other part. It progresses throughout life.
Causes
Ayurvedic
treatment for vitiligo identifies the following factors as its
causes: -
- Virudh aahar or intake of food items that have opposite nature like milk and fruits containing Vitamin C.
- Sudden temperature changes of skin
- Excessive intake of Vitamin C
- Inadequate exposure to sunlight
- Heavy meals
- Sleep during day time
Although
considered incurable, ayurvedic treatment for vitiligo helps in
considerable re-pigmentation and halting the progress of the disease
through a treatment plan that involves: -
- Internal medication – this is done by administering herbal medication to detoxify the body, purify blood, improve digestion, normalise the defect of vata and correct immune deficiency.
- External medication – this consists of herbal ointments or lepas crucial for re-pigmentation of the skin. The idea is to stimulate pigmentation, create an ideal environment for its development and then to preserve the new pigmentation with a combination of herbal mixture.
A
strict regimen of diet along with yoga is a part of the treatment
methodology as well.
