How Ayurveda Can Help Treat Vitiligo Naturally

Vitiligo, or leukoderma, is a condition in which your skin loses color or pigmentation (depigmentation). In Vitiligo, macules, or white patches, start to appear on the body, resulting in an inferiority complex. The pigment layers of our skin begin to lose color in a gradual manner. Vitiligo is genetic in close to 30% of the cases. Vitiligo treatment in Ayurveda has potent herbs that reduce white patches and work on other symptoms as well.

Vitiligo in some detail

Vitiligo is a condition where white patches appear all over the body. The biggest reason behind the emergence of white patches on the skin is Melanocytes (pigment-producing cells). When these cells stop pigmentation, it results in skin patches. Contrary to popular belief, Vitiligo is non-contagious. You cannot get white patches just by touching someone suffering from Vitiligo. The major causes of vitiligo are autoimmune disorders, genetic mutations, stress, and environmental factors.

Vitiligo Treatment in Ayurveda

If we go by Ayurveda, an aggravation of Pitta Dosha in our body is the primary reason behind Vitiligo. Ayurvedic treatment makes extensive use of Ayurvedic herbs and diet plans and works on correcting the balance between the imbalanced dosha synergies, purifying the blood, and restoring the original complexion of the skin. Some of the best remedies that help you in improving your symptoms associated with Vitiligo are:

• Agnijith’s ability to restore pigmentation makes it an effective Ayurvedic medicine for vitiligo. It has been scientifically proven to restore pigmentation in the depigmented areas of the body. Agnijith blocks the depigmentation tissues present in our skin layers. The rich microbial properties of this herb are easily absorbed by our skin cells. This improves the blood flow to the skin cells.
• Applying a mixture of turmeric and mustard oil to the affected areas may help reduce the size of the white patches. A mixture of Bakuchi and coconut oil also helps with the symptoms of vitiligo. Apply this mixture and let it remain for 15 minutes, and then wash it off with plain water.
• Bakuchi stimulates pigmentation in the skin cells; however, never consume this drug in a raw form.
• Manjishtha is a skin toner, and it also promotes detoxification of the body.
• Neem is a potent Ayurvedic medicine for vitiligo. It has long been used for healthy skin, as it has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Neem is also proven to be beneficial for improving skin tone.

Apart from the medicines mentioned above, you need to make dietary changes for an effective treatment of skin patches. Avoid weird food combinations like meat and milk. Additionally, stay away from deeply-fried foods. Some Ayurveda practitioners also advise against the consumption of citrus fruits like oranges, apples, etc.

Furthermore, yoga and meditation can help you cope with the stress that comes with having white patches on the skin. Deep breathing exercises improve blood flow towards the skin cells, which may improve your skin tone. Sarvanagasana is another asana that is beneficial in Vitiligo. However, do Yoga asanas under the supervision of a certified teacher.

Vitiligo is a disease that can be unnerving for those suffering from it. Having white skin patches can make you feel inferior. Ayurveda has a holistic treatment plan for an herbal cure for vitiligo. However, you also need to make the necessary lifestyle changes for a sustained recovery.
