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. Prevalence rate shows that it affects 1-2% of worldwide population in both the genders. In Ayurveda psoriasis is correlated with Ekakushta. 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
