Keep Peaceful And Support People With Vitiligo : World Vitiligo Day

Vitiligo is an acquired disorder of pigmentation mainly affecting the skin in which loss of functioning of melanocyte results in white patches on the skin with varying size and location. Usually leucoderma and vitiligo are known to be synonyms but many authors have said that progressive stage of leucoderma is considered as vitiligo. Causes of leucoderma may be a combination of genetic, immunologic, biochemical and neurogenic factors. Leucoderma or vitiligo is considered as a social stigma in our country. Affected individuals are always in constant depression with feeling of being socially outcast.

Leucoderma or vitiligo does not differentiate between races, sex, religion or even socio-economic groups. Anyone can develop this condition. Of the 1% of world's population suffering from leucoderma, 8.8% of the cases are recorded in India. Leucoderma may affect any part of the body. 30% patients have a family history of Leucoderma wherein 20% may have the condition of an underlying disease. Almost 95% develop the condition before the age of 40. Ayurvedic Treatment plan start with measures to arrest the ongoing aggravation of dosha in the body. Digestive tract is targeted first with implementation of appropriate diet. Once all Etiological factors have been addressed, proper elimination of Toxins and balancing of Dosha are the primary focus areas for Switra. The prime aim is to eradicate the Etiological factors. Ayurveda offers a comprehensive approach to successfully treating the disease. The main aim for each and every treatment of Ayurveda is to treat the root cause. The key for restoring the health of Vitiligo patient is only described in ayurveda which includes physical, Mental and Social Health.
