In the United States, 2 to 5 million people have the disorder.Why it is increasing in USA?During our US visit we observed the life and Diet style of people of USA responsible for the aggravation of Vitiligo...In Diet people of USA do not have any specific pattern to eat healthy diet...Their eating patterns causing opposite diet which is according to Ayurveda the main cause for Vitiligo...for example number of tims we observe that the people are eating Pizzas,Burgers,Non veg.food,Seafood and after eating such food they are taking Alcohol,Milk products,Beverages etc...which is opposite diet and it is aggravating the Prevalance of  Vitiligo in USA..Diet Style…We observed during our internal travel and outing in USA that people of USA do not have good eating habits…they are eating often during traveling or after landing on Airport and also often used to eat Pizza,Burgers All types of fast foods in big quantity and then after eating they use to drink Wines,Alcohol and beverages…Maximum Number of people of USA are Non.Vegetarians and are eating Red Meat which is according to Ayurveda creating Virudhdha Ahaar(Opposite Diet) and it is the biggest factors of such skin diseases…Life styles…Also we observed lots of uneven in their life styles…no specific Diet time,Sleeping hours…and important factor is stress during their whole day…and stress is the main causative factors to aggravate these diseases…Maximum Females using Synthetic Cosmetics for make up to look beautiful and also people are using synthetic Body Sprays,Perfumes etc for their personal use are most dangerous for aggravating all skin diseases…Even their life is full of stress,uneven,Interpersonal relationship is not that much comfortable and Vitiligo is also a Psychosomatic disorder so these factors increasing the Prevalance of Vitiligo in the states... In terms of Ayurveda:According to Ayurveda this disease is known as ‘shivitr‘ or ‘kilaas‘ - the appearance of a patche on skin with white or red coloration without any kind of swelling, fermentation, and pus formation in it. The patch of de-pigmentation of the skin is generally surrounded with normal skin. The patch might spread extensively covering the entire skin surface.Pitta is the dosha, which is responsible for occurrence of this disease. When it is increased beyond the norm it affects rakt dhatu (blood), maas dhatu (flesh), maid dhatu (fat).How people of USA should change their Diet and Life style?As per Ayurveda The Diet and Life Style is the main causative factor of Vitiligo...so the in Chikitsa(Treatment) in Ayurveda is Nidaan Parivarjana(Means to Avoid Causative Fcators) is the 1st Ideal line of Treatment for Vitiligo...So people must avoid the food that cause opposite dietPeople must avoid any short of  stress...Must regularize their life style...they must take proper sleepThey must improve their interpersonal relationshipand if they are having any family history than they must  take care of above all factors...How Ayurveda Can help them to Combat it?In Ayurveda there are 3 types of Diet…1.Satvik Ahaar(Holistic Diet)2.Rajsik Diet(Spicy Diet)3.Tamsik Diet(Non.Veg.Diet and all)Satvik ahaar means Holistic Diet like Vegetables,Cereals,Pulses,Rich Protien Diet,Milk,Fruits are very good to remain healthy…also you can choose Veg.Indian Thali(Dish) which is the best to keep you healthy…Rajsik Ahaar means the food contains the spices more than it require it can also aggravate such diseases…Tamsik Diet Contains Non.Veg.Food with Alcohol,Beverages,uneven diet and are the extreme factors for such diseases… So the people of USA must select Satvik Diet which contains everything our body requires and also which is good for Mental Health and is good for maintaining Mental and Physical health…For Stress Management they should do Meditation which is the best way of self realisation…also they should under go Shirodhara Treatment of Ayurveda which is the best Ayurveda Treatment for Stress Management…For Detox Treatment they should prefer Ayurveda Panchakarma Treatments(PK)…Atharva has developed a specail Psoriasis Panchakarma Treatment Package if any body want to go for it feel free to write us to book your package…Also we at Atharva Ayurved India developed “PMAAA” means Personalized Medicine according to Atharva Ayurveda for all diseases…you can consult us through our on line  consultation and we can ship you the Medicine at your doorstep by your order…Athrava has Devloped a Unique Research Based Ayurveda Treatment(Atharva Method)  for Leucoderma and established almost high cure rates in Leucoderma.It's include two way treatment,1.External application- which include
