Explore Classical Panchakarma, Rasayana, and Shamana Chikitsa at Deep Ayurveda – The Most Trusted Ayurvedic & Panchakarma Centre in Tricity (Mohali, Panchkula, Chandigarh)

Overview

Vitiligo, often referred to as Leucoderma, is a chronic disorder involving the progressive destruction of melanocytes, leading to the development of milky-white macules on the skin. While modern medicine views it primarily as an autoimmune pigmentary disorder, Ayurveda classifies it under “Shvitra” – a subtype of Kushtha Roga, rooted in dosha-dushya samurchana affecting Twak (skin), Rakta (blood), Mamsa (muscle), and Lasika (lymph).

At Deep Ayurveda, every treatment protocol for Vitiligo is deeply rooted in classical Ayurvedic siddhanta, emphasizing Dosha Shamana, Dhatu Shodhana, Rakta Prasadana, and Vyadhi Pratyanika Rasayana – ensuring authentic, long-lasting results.

Vitiligo in Modern Science

Contemporary research identifies Vitiligo as an autoimmune disorder wherein cytotoxic T-cells attack melanocytes. Contributing factors include:

  • Autoimmune conditions (e.g., Hashimoto’s thyroiditis)
  • Genetic predisposition (NLRP1, PTPN22 mutations)
  • Oxidative stress and neurohumoral dysfunction
  • Emotional stress, trauma, and psychological triggers

Despite advanced therapies like topical immunosuppressants, phototherapy, and melanocyte transplants, modern interventions often fall short in addressing the root cause, leading many to explore Ayurveda’s more systemic approach.

Shvitra Roga – The Ayurvedic Perspective

Classical Definition

“श्वित्रं तु कुष्ठं तद्रक्तप्रधानेन दोषेण जायते।”
— Madhava Nidana
“Shvitra is a type of Kushtha primarily arising due to Rakta Dushti by vitiated Doshas.”

According to Ayurvedic Siddhanta, Shvitra results from vitiation of Pitta and Kapha, disturbing the homeostasis of skin and blood tissues, ultimately impairing melanogenesis.

Nidana (Etiological Factors)

“दधि मत्स्यौदनं ग्राम्यौदकानूपमांसं…”
— Charaka Nidana 5/5

Shvitra manifests due to:

  • Viruddha Ahara (incompatible food like milk with fish)
  • Fermented, sour, and heavy foods
  • Mandagni (low digestive fire)
  • Divaswapna (day sleep), sedentary lifestyle
  • Unresolved emotions like anger and fear
  • Beeja Dosha (genetic factors)

Lakshana (Clinical Manifestations)

“वातजं कृष्णं शुष्कं… कफजे स्थिरगौरं स्यात्…”
— Charaka Nidana 5/8–9

  • Vataja Shvitra: Dry, blackish patches with numbness
  • Pittaja Shvitra: Reddish-yellow patches, burning, sweating
  • Kaphaja Shvitra: Thickened, white, pale, stable plaques

These Dosha-specific presentations guide precise, Siddhanta-aligned treatment planning at Deep Ayurveda.

Prognosis (Sadhya-Asadhya Lakshana)

“श्वित्रं यदुत्पद्यते बाल्ये… न सिध्यति कदाचन॥”
— Ashtanga Hridaya Chikitsa 23/4

  • Early-onset, genetic, facial/genital lesions – Kricchra Sadhya
  • Recent, localized, and non-genetic – Sadhya (curable

Deep Ayurveda’s Shvitra Treatment Protocol – Siddhanta-Pramāṇa Based

“शुद्धे रक्ते हि सिध्यन्ति श्वित्राणि विविधानि च॥”
— Sushruta Chikitsa 13/16

True healing of Shvitra, according to Ayurvedic tenets, begins with Shodhana (purification), followed by Shamana (palliation) and Rasayana (rejuvenation). At Deep Ayurveda, each step is strictly aligned with authentic Ayurvedic siddhanta.

1. Shodhana Karma (Classical Panchakarma)

  • Snehapana with Panchtikta Ghrita for Dosha liquefaction
  • Swedana to stimulate metabolic pathways
  • Vamana for Kapha predominant Shvitra
  • Virechana using Avipattikar Churna for Pitta involvement
  • Raktamokshana (Jalaukavacharana) for Rakta shuddhi in localized lesions

2. Shamana Chikitsa (Dosha-Pacifying Internal Remedies)

  • Khadirarishta, Manjishthadi Kashayam – blood purification
  • Panchtikta Ghrita Guggulu – deep detox and immunoregulation
  • Bakuchi Capsules – melanocyte stimulant
  • Arogyavardhini Vati – liver detox and skin support

Each formulation is selected based on Prakriti-Vikriti analysis, as per Ayurvedic diagnosis.

3. Rasayana Chikitsa (Tissue Rejuvenation)

  • Tuvrak Rasayana (Hydnocarpus) – restores dhatu vitality
  • Bhallataka Rasayana – used under expert monitoring for resistant cases
  • Guduchi, Amla, Yashtimadhu – cellular immunity boosters

This ensures Ojasvardhana (vital essence enhancement) and Vyadhi Kshamatva (immunity).

4. Bahya Chikitsa (Classical Topical Therapy)

“तुवरकात् क्षीरवृक्षाद्वा… लिप्त्वा श्वित्रे दिनं तिष्ठेत्॥”
— Sushruta Chikitsa 13/21

Topicals prepared according to Shodhana and Ropana dravyas:

  • Bakuchi Taila – activates dormant melanocytes
  • Shvitrahara Lepa – customized paste based on Dosha
  • Tuvrakadi Oil – anti-inflammatory and rasayana for skin

5. Pathya-Apathya (Ahara-Vihara) – Lifestyle Anchored in Ayurveda

“यस्य आहारः सुसंस्कृतः, तस्य रोगाः न जायन्ते।”

Avoid:

  • Sour, fermented foods, viruddha combinations
  • Alcohol, curd, heavy or fried meals
  • Anger, day sleep, mental lethargy

Recommended:

  • Mudga (green gram), Karela (bitter gourd), Yava (barley)
  • Triphala with warm water, Amla juice, Guduchi tea
  • Meditation, early rising, Surya Namaskar
