Abstract

Shwitra is a condition characterised by white patches on the body. It’s possible that it’s linked to Vitiligo in modern science. In Ayurveda, all skin illnesses are classified as Kustha Roga. It is caused by Tridosha vitiation. It is an autoimmune disease that can be linked to other autoimmune diseases such as diabetes mellitus, pernicious anaemia, and Addison disease. Leukoderma affects one percent of the population. For the patient, this sickness becomes a source of social disgrace as well as a financial hardship. Aim: To Evaluate the Efficacy of Ayurvedic Treatment In Shwitra. Study Design: Simple Single Arm Study. Place: Government Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Dharashiv, Maharashtra. Duration of study: 3 Months. Methodology: Kosthashuddhi With Internal Medication (Aamapachaka vati and Vidangarishta) after Kosthashuddhi Rasamanikya And Rasaaushidhi, For External Medication (Bakuchi churna + Tamrabhasma + Hartal Bhasma + Mansheela mixed with Gomutra.) Which provides a hope in efficient and safe treatment. It was in much better shape than before.

Keywords: Shwitra, kustha roga, Rasamanikya, Mansheela, rasausadhi.
