Abstract
Vitiligo is an acquired depigmenting skin condition that results from the destruction of melanocytes. It is a progressive, idiopathic pigmentation skin disorder, characterized by hypopigmented patches. The Vedic texts have even mentioned the term ‘Kilasa’ or Shvitra to describe hypopigmented patches. According to Ayurveda, Shvitra is caused by improper diet and behavioral factors. Certain other factors like Daivakrita nidana, beejadushti nidana and nidana-arthakar vyadhis are known to induce Shvitra. Many Ayurvedic medicines are known ro regenerate melanocytes among which Gomutra Aasava is the one. The present paper deals with the clinical evaluation of the efficacy of Gomutra Aasava in Shvitra.
