Ayurveda classifies incurable into two major divisions –

Yapya (manageable) 

This condition is like diabetes. Till the time you keep the necessary precautions and have a healthy preventive dietary habit and lifestyle, you will keep the disease at bay. But the moment you indulge in wrong habits, the disease will be aggravated. Most of the vitiligo disorders fall under this category. 

Apratyakyaya(completely out of hand)

This is the condition when the physician asks the patient to pray and wait for the miracle!  Since vitiligo is not a fatal condition, this is mostly not applicable to it. 

Food to avoid in Vitiligo

Agni or digestion is the central point of body immunity and therefore it is very important in vitiligo to maintain a good digestion.
