Abstract

Shvitra is one among various skin disorders characterized by white and depigmented patches. It can be correlated with vitiligo, characterized by absence of melanocytes in affected areas of the skin. It poses a major problem for patients because of its ugly appearance and presentation on the body. In this study, patients of shvitra were randomly selected from OPD/IPD of Akhandanand Ayurveda Mahavidyalya, Ahmedabad. Twenty-three patients were treated with Khadiradi Yoga and Khadiradi Taila for 8 weaks. The response to the treatment was recorded and therapeutic effects were evaluated through symptomatic relief to the patients. From the result, it was observed that 20% patients had mild improvement while 80% patients had moderate improvement. Out of 23 patients, 3 patients were dropped out.
