For many, many years now, Ayurveda has come a long way from ancient times of the Ramayana to this date. The concept of Ayurveda is beyond allopathic limitations. It is a holistic healing science in two words, Ayu and Veda. Ayu means life and Veda means knowledge, thus it is the science of life, in fact, a complete way of life. It involves nutrition, mentality, social activities and spiritual life. Since it covers analysis of physical, mental and emotional level, Ayurveda is the answer to a holistic disease free society that doesn’t suppress but heals the root-cause of an illness where most modern methods fail. One such remedy it renders covers vitiligo or leucoderma treatment.

Vitiligo is a long staying skin condition defined as patch formation on the skin losing its pigment. These patches are white and have sharp margins. Western medicine finds cure of many diseases; but still it has no answer to treat vitiligo, but thankfully Ayurveda has!

Ayurveda studies a person’s all areas of life to maintain the holistic path and balance the three Doshas - Vata,Pitta and Kapha which control the internal health of the body.

Why do we prefer Ayurveda over other medication approach?

1. This spiritual course gives unique advantages to the body that we don’t find in allopathic treatment.

2. Every person is looked at as an individual, not as a generic specimen.

3. Ayurveda does not believe in treating just symptoms but healing the root-cause of an illness.

4. There is no chemical construct but pure natural remedies are offered.

5. A therapy that is totally natural and extracted from the fauna has no side effects at all.

6. Ayurvedic treatment is inexpensive and nonsurgical, therefore it is preferred over medical treatments.

Vitiligo too is treated through the unique herbal methodology of Ayurveda. The various functions of the individual pertaining to body tissues and substances are studies including the nervous system, metabolism, digestion and energy utilization and the body’s immunity is bolstered to repair and renew itself. This is how it is done in a patient suffering with leukoderma or vitiligo:

The patient is given various types of herbal medicines in different combinations which target the root of the disease. In case of Vitiligo, the body acts to again start re-pigmentation with no relapse of the disorder. The body is given immunoboosters that start to fillip its metabolism and make it strong enough to counter any insurgency from the disease process. This exceptional difference in Ayurvedic treatment undoubtedly goes beyond the extent to strengthen the patient's body mechanism ready to fight any toxins, virus or bacteria which cause disease. In herbal treatments, commonly oral application of herbal paste helps to build up re-pigmentation over the white patches sometime no later than in a few weeks that are noticeable soon after the treatment starts. Slowly and steadily small brownish pigments appear in the white patches that grow darker and the whole skin is gradually converted to normal. There could be some variation from patient to patient in treating vitiligo, but Ayurveda as far is the best healing therapy to vitiligo.
