Actually, Leucoderma / Vitiligo has got more social significance as compared to medical preferably in India and almost all over the world, because of its prominence over skin, which differentiates a patient from others.

Vitiligo patients are observed almost all over the world but number of cases in India is on a high. This indicates cases in children, adolescents, adults (both male & female) and elderly people.

Leucoderma generally appears due to some external accidental causes, which may be a burn, a cut or an ulcer. These external factors basically damage the cells beneath skin, which produce ‘melanin’ pigment. It results to diminished skin colour patches, which later converts white and prominent, forming white patches.

Exact cause of Vitiligo remains unknown. However, there are different theories suggesting autoimmune syndrome (a condition whereby the immune system of body destroys body’s own tissues & cells), impaired hepatic function as jaundice, gastric disorder, typhoid fever etc. Although, excessive mental worry, presence of parasites in alimentary canal, harsh antibiotic use and mostly improper hygiene too may also be considered to be one of the causes according to Ayurveda. An example of this is ‘virudh ahar sevan’ (as fish & milk together) which forms toxic substances which gradually destroys body’s own immunity system.

Heredity is almost 20-30% considered to be a causative factor. If parents have history, then there are more chances of one developing ‘vitiligo’. Moreover, it is not a rule. At the same time, numerous cases of vitiligo do not have a relevant family history of vitiligo.

But, for Leucoderma / Vitiligo the most responsible factor is the ‘melanocytes’, cells that produce melanin pigment and provides natural colour to skin. These Melanocytes gets destroyed due to various external or internal reasons as autoimmunity resulting in lesser or no production of melanin. Due to lack of melanin pigment the area of skin lose its basic colour forming a pale/white spot.

Ayurhealthline concentrates its prime focus on treatment of White patches / Leucoderma / vitiligo patients through its unique herbal formulations. Especially at Ayurhealthline we treat each and every patient of us according to the most ancient system of medicine, “Ayurveda”. In Ayurhealthline we treat the patient not only the disease. The patient is basically given different herbal combinations, which acts on the root cause of the disease to start re-pigmentation with no relapse (repeat) of the disease. This unique Ayurvedic theory makes the difference. While treatment, a patient’s immunity power is also developed to such extent so that his body can counteract to any disease causing agents such as Bacteria, Viruses, and Parasites etc.

For Leucoderma / vitiligo treatment we have combination of oral and applicable herbal medicines which starts re-pigmentation over the white patches soon after three to five weeks of starting treatment. The re-pigmentation starts as darker pigmented spots formation over the large patches or sidewise conversion into normal skin colour of the white patches.
