Bakuchi is an effective vitiligo treatment and also treats related skin diseases and conditions. It shrinks white spots on skin and reduces pigmentation.

Vitiligo is a non-infectious and non-transmittable skin disorder where there is gradual enlargement of the depigmented spots into white patches. Areas like back, eyelids, lips, palms, palm back, face, scalp and bony prominences are mostly affected.

Ayurveda terms vitiligo as Switra and is further classified into daruna, aruna and kilasa, depending on the discoloration. Toxins develop in the body due to incompatible food combinations and they destroy the body’s immune system also leading to aggravation of pitta dosha. Bhrajaka pitta (a sub type of pitta) is the one responsible for colouration of the skin. Due to the imbalanced bhrajaka pitta, the skin starts losing its colour and white patches appear. Along with pitta, rasa, mamsa (muscle tissue), lasika (lymph) are also involved.
