Skin is the largest organ and an important outer protective covering of body. Urbanization and changing lifestyle affects the physiology of human beings which is also responsible for a chronic skin disease called as psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory, recurrent, immune mediated skin condition. It can have negative impact on physical, emotional and psychosocial status of affected person.

Ayurveda described 18 type of Kushta in Samhita Granthas, in which 7 are Mahakushta and 11 are Skshudra Kushta. Ekakushta is a Vata-Kaphaj Dosha Pradhan Vyadhi having a symptom of Aswedana, Mahavastu, Matsyashakalopma. In allopathy there is no well-defined treatment for psoriasis, whereas in Ayurveda, to cure psoriasis from its root very well-defined treatments are present in the Shodhan Chikitsa, Shaman Chikitsa and Rasayan Chikitsa
