Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
In the present scenario people are more prone to various kinds of poisons, including slow poison in food as well as in environment. Poison which is old or attenuated by anti-poisonous medicines or dried by forest fire, breeze and the sunlight or naturally deficient in properties of the poison is defined as Dushivisha. It is not fatal due to mild potency and being covered with Kapha, it stays in body for many years. Polluted air, water, land and faulty food habits, stressful life style, unpleasant feelings, continuous usage of any particular medication and even suppression of urges can act as causes for Dushivisha. As a result DushivishaJanyaTwakVikar is becoming more common. MandalKushtha is one among such skin diseases produced by Dushivisha. All type of the skin diseases in ancient Indian classics have been described under the broad heading of Kushtha, which are further divided into Maha Kushtha & Kshudra Kushtha. It is very difficult to correlateMandalKushtha with particular type of Kushtha as mentioned in our classical texts. Careful analysis of the nature of disease shows a close resemblance of symptoms between psoriasis & Manda lKushtha.
