SHVITRA AND ITS MANAGEMENT THROUGH AYURVEDA: CORRELATIONWITH MODERN SCIENCE

Medically known as Vitiligo, Shvitra is a chronic skin condition caused by the loss of pigmentation that leads to white patches appearing in different parts of your body. This condition does not affect health but can have a deep impact on the psychology of the patient due to its external appearance. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, offers a holistic approach toward managing Shvitra therapy, emphasising balance and natural healing. The current article explains Shvitra from both the Ayurvedic and current scientific perspectives, elaborating on its aetiology, pathophysiology, and treatment modalities. From the traditional Ayurvedic texts and current biomedical research, this paper tries to project the advantages of integrative approaches in the management of Shvitra.
