AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON VITILIGO / WHITE PATCHES
Vitiligo is a disorder where the skin loses color in certain areas, causing white patches. This lack of pigmentation may also extend to hair in affected areas. The size and rate of white patches will vary from person to person.
In many cases, the exact cause of vitiligo is unknown, however there are several factors that may be involved:
- Vitiligo can be caused by an autoimmune response, as the immune system attacks the cells that create pigment (melanocytes).
- Metabolic waste (ama) is the root cause of many autoimmune disorders in Ayurveda as it overstimulates the immune system during the cleanup process.
- In Ayurveda, vitiligo is considered to be microbial in nature (krumi).
- Excess heat in the body (tejas) can cause vitiligo by burning the component responsible to giving color to the skin, melanin (bhrajaka pitta).
- Vitiligo can also be hereditary in some cases.
If metabolic waste or microbial pathogens is the source of vitiligo, ensure you are eating a diet appropriate for your body type and avoiding incompatible food combinations. A kitchari cleanse can also be useful in some cases to clear ama. Bhringaraj, used topically as an oil, helps recolor the skin after depigmentation. Viganga is used in formulas for vitiligo and other disorders of skin pigmentation. It is also one of the top herbs for clearing bacterial overgrowth. Bakuchi is an herb that stimulates melanoblastic cells to create normal pigmentation.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?
WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?
Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic,
systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda
shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them
using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't
take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you.
Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.
HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?
Ayurveda starts by identifying your
body type,
which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths).
It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders.
Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder.
It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of
biocharacteristics (gunas).
For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc.
This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.
On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics.
By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened
and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease
are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies -
such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance
your healing.
