  • Abstract:
  • Vitiligo is a common autoimmune pigmentary disorder with significant socio-medical implications. It is characterized by the development of white patches on the skin due to the destruction or dysfunction of melanocytes. In Ayurveda, this condition can be correlated with Shvitra. Owing to the limitations and side effects associated with conventional therapies, there is a growing interest in exploring safe and effective treatments from alternative systems of medicine. Ayurveda offers a comprehensive approach to managing such autoimmune skin disorders. This case study presents the Ayurvedic management of a chronic case of vitiligo, which showed notable improvement with the administration of bakuchi powder,mandooka parani panchang powder, tulsi patra powder,vidanga powder, kauncha powder and external application of bakuchi oil.
