Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Ayurveda, the knowledge of life science bestowed health and longevity in the form of preventive and curative measures. Shodhana chikitsa play a vital role in curative measures, because there is no chance of reprovacation of doshas. In Ayurveda all the skin diseases are considered under kushta, but still there is controversy regarding nomenclature of psoriasis. Kitibha, Mandala, Ekakushta etc are taken as Psoriasis. But in this study, psoriasis is correlated with Ekakushta based on clinical features. Psoriasis is one of the burning problems in the medical field. It is a heredo-familial, chronic, recurrent, inflammatory disease of skin of unknown origin. It disturbs the social and personal life of the patient due to ugly appearance. The aim of present study is to assess the role of virechana karma and shaman snehapana comparatively in the management of ekakushta with special reference to Psoriasis. In this study, 30 subjects were divided into two groups, 15 patients in each group and the patients who were fit for snehana and virechana karma were selected. In group-A only virechana karma was administered. In group-B virechana followed by shaman snehapana was administered. For shodhana Go ghritam and for shaman snehapana Brahmi ghrita is used. The assessment of results was made on pre and post treatment data of subjective and objective parameters of study. Clinical signs and symptoms of ekakushta are taken as subjective parameters, PASI score taken as objective parameters. On the basis of results of two groups, it was observed that reduction of symptomatology and PASI Score highly significantly in group-B, i.e.virechana followed with shaman snehapana. So virechana shows significant role in the management of Ekakushta than only shamana snehapana.
