Introduction: In Ayurveda, Switra is a skin disorder characterized by whitish patches on the body which is classified under kushta . According to Acharya Vagbhata, Shwitra is a Tridoshaja Vyadhi—a disease involving all three dosha: though it is primarily driven by an imbalance in Pitta Dosha, particularly Bhrajaka Pitta, which governs skin pigmentation. with the involvement of Twak, Rakta, Mamsa, and Meda. In modern medicine, Switra can be correlated with vitiligo, a disorder characterized by the hypopigmentation of the skin. Although Shwitra (vitiligo) does not cause any systemic dysfunctions, it can lead to significant psychological distress and social challenges for patients. Method: The present case study involves a 14-year-old male who reported whitish patches on his bilateral legs, palms, and lips. He was effectively treated with Virechana as shodhana karma and Shamanaushadas are Switarahara churna for external application and Bakuchi capsule internally. The subjective criteria were evaluated using the scoring method, while the VETI scoring method determined the objective criteria.Result: The patient showed significant positive results after Virechana and Shamanaushadi administration. Discussion: The initial treatment of Shodhana, coupled with Shamanaushada, led to the appearance of pigmentation on hypopigmented patches. Thus, the present case study elucidates the effectiveness of Ayurveda treatment in Shwitra, emphasizing the significance mentioned in Ayurveda classics.
