If you have emotionally and socially suffered a lot due to Vitiligo and are looking for an excellent Vitiligo ayurvedic treatment that sets you free from the condition. Your search ends with Vaidyaratnam Vrindavan Ayurveda Chikitsalayam.
According to Ayurveda, Vitiligo also known as “Shwitra,” is a type of skin disorder that occurs due to imbalance of tridoshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). Predominant cause of Vitiligo is the aggravation of pitta dosha, vitiation of blood (Raktha) and tissues (Dhatus). Considered as a Rakta-Vikara (blood disorder), Vitiligo is linked to improper diet, lifestyle habits, and emotional stress that disturbs the body’s internal balance.
Since Ayurveda believes in targeting the root cause to treat any ailment, Vitiligo ayurvedic treatment at VVAC includes detoxifying the body, correcting digestion, purifying the blood, and restoring dosha balance.
