Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What causes Vitiligo (Shvitra) astrologically?
Mercury and Mars conjoined in the Ascendant, or Sun and Saturn afflicting the Moon in watery signs, leads to loss of skin pigmentation (melanin exhaustion).
Q2: Why is ‘Viruddha Ahara’ (incompatible food) crucial in skin disease?
Eating fish with milk, or fruit with dairy, creates toxic circulating Ama that lodges in dermal micro-channels (Twak Srotas), triggering eczema.
