Vitiligo is a common autoimmune pigmentary disorder of great socio-medical importance. It is characterized by white spots appeared on the skin due to melanocytes deficiency. It can be correlated with Shvitra in Ayurveda. Due to side effects and limitation of the contemporary science, some harmless and effective medicines are expected from Alternative medical sciences.
