The assessment of [[agni]] (digestion and metabolism) and ama (accumulated undigested biological waste in the digestive tract) is vital for treating a skin disorder. The importance of treating [[ama]] is shown in figure 7. The [[ama]] aggravates by the treatment for vitiligo without amapachana (digestion of [[ama]]). When [[ama]] is treated, the vitiligo also decreases. So if [[ama]] is present, treatment to remove it should be given at the beginning.

Integrative therapies should not compromise biomedical pathology, neither the principles of Ayurveda. Table 9 shows that mutual dialogue between the systems of medicine leads to the integrated treatment protocol

The rotating ankle movements as a Yoga exercise (Gulphachakrasana) are practised for lymphoedema patients. An increase in radioisotope clearance from lymphatics of lower limbs with even small-amplitude ankle movements is reported by Prof Peter Mortimer.<ref>Mortimer PS, Simmons R, Rezvani M.

The above approach to chronic disease care leads to better treatment not provided by a single system alone. Figure 9 below shows the response of Lymphatic Filariasis (lymphoedema) following integrative medicine treatment. A clinic to lab research-based developed from such studies might provide new treatments for chronic disease.<ref>Karayi AK, Basavaraj V, Narahari SR, Aggithaya MG, Ryan TJ, Pilankatta R.
