vitiligo ( fulwari) and astrology of skin disorders.

Vitiligo (pron.: /ˌvɪtɨˈlɡ/) is a condition that causes de pigmentation of sections of skin. It occurs when melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigmentation, die or are unable to function. The cause of vitiligo is unknown, but research suggests that it may arise from autoimmune, genetic, oxidative stress, neural, or viral causes.[1] The incidence worldwide is less than 1%.[2] The most common form is non-segmental vitiligo, which tends to appear in symmetric patches, sometimes over large areas of the body.

Vitiligo & Leucoderma are two different terms used for the same skin disease. But some causative difference is there in between vitiligo & Leucoderma. Basically Leucoderma is a Latin word which literally means ‘white skin’. It is popularly known as white patch also. It generally happens due to absence of melanin pigmentation over the skin.

Wisely we call it a ‘disorder’ as no pain and symptoms can be found in Vitiligo & Leucoderma. So, it can’t be termed as a disease. It may start with a small spot which later enlarge into a large white patch. It may be pale in colour initially but gradually it turns white with time due to complete loss of melanin pigmentation over affected areas. The shape and size of a white patch cannot be judged.

Cause of Leucoderma could be accidental as a cut, burn or an ulcer. With due reasons the melanocytes cells which produce melanin pigment gets damaged. Due to this damage the pigmentation gradually disappears from the affected areas and the skin becomes white there resulting into a white patch.
However cause of Vitiligo could be improper hygiene, inappropriate food combinations, regular junk food intake, insecticide/pesticide treated green vegetable intake regularly, past history of Jaundice or Typhoid fever, harsh Antibiotic use etc. One important cause of Vitiligo could be sudden emotional trauma, stress. Due to one reason or all reasons toxin substance is formed inside human body which disturbs the human Immune system and the disturbed immunity system reaches to the condition of Autoimmunity (a condition in which immune system of body destroys its own cells & tissues). This Autoimmunity is the basic important reason of Vitiligo according to Ayurvedic as well as Allopathic system of medicine. 



Mercury--
 Mercury represents a subtle and sharp mind, intellect and well defined logic. A person influenced by Mercury will be interested in knowing the occult sciences also. And most importantly, it represents ths skin of the individual. The nature of the disease in a person may vary depending upon the nature of the planet afflicting Mercury. It is a well known astrological fact that Saturn is a slow moving planet and causes chronic diseases that are difficult to cure and carry on for a long period of time. Similarly  Mars is a fiery planet and is known for its violent behavior. Therefore the troubles caused by Mars come on suddenly and are very forceful in nature. Rahu is a slain demon without any body of its own and therefore the problems it causes are also similar in nature, which cause a lot of anxiety but have no substance. Moon is a watery planet and represents fluids in the body. It is also a fast moving planet and a changeable one as its shape and size changes everyday. Keeping the nature of these planets in mind is important in getting to understand the diseases that a person may be troubled with. In case Saturn afflicts the mercury of a person, he can be prone to chronic skin troubles which are difficult to cure and keep progressing slowly despite the best possible treatments. In case mars afflicts such a mercury, there are often violent and sudden aggravation and patients often see long periods of remission when they are not at all troubled by any disease. It is only occasionally that the disease surfaces and it happens quite suddenly and violently. In case Rahu affects Mercury, the disease is often difficult to diagnose and the patient is often at a loss to understand what afflicts him or her. Such people are also often prone to sudden outbreaks or episodes of diseases. The involvement of Moon in such cases leads to the formation of pus or in cases of eczema, there is often oozing of discharges. This is known as wet eczema. In cases where there is involvement of Ketu, one often sees infections and allergic reactions to different antigens.

Skin disorders 
In astrology, the planet mercury and the sixth house in the horoscope is responsible for skin related disorders.
The astrological cause:
If Planet Saturn, Rahu and Mars are placed unfavorably and Sun and Moon are also weak in the horoscope, skin infections appear.
When planet Ketu is placed unfavorably in the 7th house then pimples appear on the face. But this ill effect can be overshadowed when planet Mercury is strong in the horoscope. Contrary to this, if planet Mercury is weak, then the subject definitely faces this problem.

Symptoms/Indications:
The malefic placement of the planet Moon causes whiteheads, blackheads and pustules.
Papules are caused by weak Moon in the horoscope.
Malefic Rahu causes painful pimples.
Remedies:
Counter evil planetary effects of sixth house.
Chant the Surya Mantras or recite Aditya Hradya Strota.
Feed dog with a chapati on Saturday.
Chant Saraswati Strot.
Worship Parad Shiv Linga.
