Excellent Treatment for Leucoderma in siddha system of Medicine


AFTER 20 DAYS TREATMENT

Leucoderma is nothing but discolouration of skin, due to decrease secretion of melanocytes. In siddha system of medicine it is described as Venpadai or Swetha kuttam.

“Thatipaaha thavalaniram pol veluthu

Sarvangamum velluthuthaltan tirumbum

Madipaaha mayir velluthal asathiya mahum

Vari yuthadu ullankaikutha kuiyanthan

Nedipaaha Neruppu pattathu pol punnai


Nirami runthal asathiyam yenturaikalahum

meniyellam velluthu veengil Vedipaha

Ven swetha kuttam yentae vilabalamae
(YUGI SINTHAMANI,497-514)



The meaning of above is "In leucoderma the following conditions are rarely curable .

1.Thickened skin.

2. The whole body becomes white in colour(Albinism)and hair also becomes white.

3. Patches seen in lips, palms, soles, around the anus, penis.


In siddha system of medicine it is divided in to four types. They are.

1.Vatha venpadai

2.Pitha venpadai

3.Kaba venpadai

4.Mega venpadai

Vatha venpadai:

  • The depigmented patches looked with blakish red colour.

Pitha venpadai:

  • The patches are seen like a red lotus flower.

Kapha venpadai:

  • The patches are seen like whitish colour.

Mega venpadai:

  • It is common among the syphylitic individual.Commonly seen sites are
  • 1.Back of the neck
  • 2.Shoulder joint

TREATMENT:
Early stages of leucoderma is curable in a very short period and Chronic patients need a longperiod of treatment according to their severity. It can be completely cured within 2 to 3 months of treatment in early cases and even 6 months to 1 year in chronic cases .

MY CLINICAL EXPERIENCE:

  • In the above picture,you all seen a patient ,he is about 19 yrs old, The patient consulted me with leucoderma in terror. I explained him that it is in early stage and advised to take treatment just for 20 days and closely observed the response. After 21 days he developed black spots over the patches.He was very much satisfied and continued the treatment for 3 months . The patch become it’s original colour.He was very much excited and was very happy.
    In my clinical experience,I have seen such a lot of cases in early stage. They are all completely recovered with in 2to 3 months treatment. I am sure that early stage of Leucoderma is 100% curable.
