Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Psoriasis is an autoimmune dermatological disease which is clinically characterized by erythematous, sharply demarcated papules and rounded plaques, covered by silvery micaceous scale. In Ayurveda, all skin disorders are covered under the heading of Kustha. Ekkustha can be compared to psoriasis based on its signs and symptoms. A female patient with complaints of blackish red scaly patches on almost whole of the body with itching and severe burning sensation is studied. Deepana-Pachana (Panchkol Churna) followed with Virechana Karma (Trivrita Avleha) along with Shaman Yoga (Patolkaturohiniadi Kasaya 40ml, Avipattikar Churna 5gm, combination of Kamdudha Rasa 250mg, Sutshekhara Rasa 250mg and Shatavari Churna 3grams) and Jivantyadi Yamak and a combination of Multani, Gulabjal, Jaiphal and Manjishtha for local application was given. Though, Ekkustha is a disease having dominancy of vitiated Vata and Kapha Dosha. In Kapha dominant skin diseases, Vamana is indicated as a Shodhan Karma but in the present case Pitta was found as a dominant Dosha. So line of treatment was to subside Pitta Dosha. After two months of the treatment, a significant response in various signs and symptoms were found. There was no remission of the disease even after six months.
