A NOVEL APPROACH TO VITILIGO TREATMENT: YOGA AND NATUROPATHY AS A PATH TO TOTAL CURE

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the efficacy of lifestyle modifications, including dietary modifications and yoga practices, in the repigmentation of vitiligo. A study was conducted at the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga on a 32-year-old individual who showed signs of skin discoloration and white patches on various area of the body. The patient underwent treatment consisting of a whole-food plant-based diet, herbal supplementation, gluten-free dietary regimen, and yoga sessions. Following the prescribed daily routine, significant improvements and complete remission were observed in the patient's condition, with the reappearance of melanocytes in affected areas. This case study highlights the potential benefits of adopting a whole-food plant-based diet and a gluten-free approach for managing skin ailments, such as vitiligo. These findings underscore the importance of lifestyle modifications, including dietary interventions and yoga, in the holistic management of vitiligo.
