Ayurveda treatment for Vitiligo

Get Relief from Vitiligo by Reviving Your Skin Immunity with Ayurveda!

Vitiligo affects up to 2% of people worldwide. Vitiligo, also called ‘leucoderma,’ causes patches of skin to turn white and lose their original color. The color of the hair and skin is generally determined by the skin pigment melanin. Vitiligo occurs when cells that produce the skin pigment melanin stop functioning, resulting in white patches.

The condition can affect the skin on any part of the body, including the mouth, hair, and eyes. People with vitiligo are more likely to develop other autoimmune disorders.

Causes of Vitiligo

The exact cause of vitiligo remains unclear, as it is not definitively known what causes the pigment cells to fail or stop producing melanin. Several factors are related to the development of vitiligo:

Autoimmune Disorder: Vitiligo is thought to be an autoimmune condition where the immune cells mistakenly attack the body’s own healthy tissues.
Family History: A family history of vitiligo or other autoimmune disorders can increase the risk of developing vitiligo.
Environmental Factors: Sun exposure, specifically sunburn, exposure to certain chemicals, or stress can trigger or exacerbate the condition in predisposed individuals.

Symptoms of Vitiligo

The symptoms of vitiligo include:

Skin Patches: Skin develops milky-white patches, usually appearing on the hands, feet, arms, and face.
Premature Greying: Hair on the scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, or beard may turn grey prematurely.
Loss of Color: Tissues lining the inside of the mouth and nose (mucous membranes) may lose color.
