Vitiligo is a condition that causes depigmentation of sections of skin. It occurs when melanocytes (the cells responsible for skin pigmentation) die or unable to function. It is one of the oldest and commonest skin disorders affecting approximately 1-2% of the human population. Shvitra mentioned in Ayurveda can be compared with Vitiligo caused by various dietetic and behavioral factors. Some Ayurvedic drugs are well known for the regeneration of melanocytes. The present study was planned to evaluate clinical efficacy of Dhatryadi Kwatha and Manahshiladi Lepa after Virechana in Shvitra. Total 15 registered patients (n=15) were treated with Dhatryadi Kwatha internally and Manhshiladi Lepa externally after Virechana. Assessment was done after 2 months with weekly follow-ups. Significant improvement was found in Size of patches, Colour of patches, Number of patches, Percentage of body area involvement and VASI Score after treatment of two months. On the basis of results and observations, it can be concluded that Ayurvedic formulation Dhatryadi Kwatha and Manahshiladi Lepa after Virechana are efficacious in cases of Shvitra.
