Virechan is one of the Shodhan Chikitsa described in ayurvedic texts. It is mainly advised in the pitta and rakta Pradhan diseases. All skin diseases in ayurveda have been considered under kustha. At present time antibiotics and antifungal medicines are being resistant, so it is becoming difficult day by day to cure such skin diseases, but in Ayurveda, Virechan karma is a very powerful therapy to combat these diseases. Skin is the index of our body. Healthy skin represents a healthy body. Improper usage of foods and drinks along with unhealthy activities mani- fest diseases. Virechan karma is the second therapy in the sequence of panchakarmas, the most widely used pu- rificatory procedure especially for paitika and raktas diseases. It is also useful in the disorders in which pitta is associated with vata or kapha. Ayurveda states that sluggish liver (dysfunction of the liver) associated with doshic imbalance causes skin diseases. There are so many skin diseases that are not curable by other procedures. Accord- ing to Ayurveda Virechan karma is very much beneficial in curing the different obstinate skin diseases as psoria- sis, eczema, acne vulgaris, vitiligo, leukoderma etc. Ayurveda always looks to the root cause so the patient can restore their body to a healthy state and eliminate the symptoms of skin diseases. This article deals with various skin diseases and their treatment by using Virechan therapy. Keywords: Virechan, Shodhanchikitsa, Skin Diseases, Psoriasis, Panchkarma,

In ayurvedic texts, all skin diseases are classified under Mahakushtha and Kshudrakushtha. Vicharchika is a type of Kshudrakushtha. It can be correlated with eczema according to modern science. Eczema is characterised by dry itchy skin with areas of poorly  demarcated scales. In acute phase eczema may be vesicular and oozing. In chronic phase, it may become hyperpigmented and lichenified. Modern dermatology employs systemic and local administration of steroids for the management of eczema. Despite an initial response, maintenance therapies with small doses of systemic and topical glucocorticoids usually produce hazardous ill effects. So attempt has been made to treat eczema by Ayurvedic medicine. Ayurveda focuses on underlying etiopathogenesis and treats the root cause of the disease. The present study has been done to evaluate the efficacy of Shodhana i.e.Raktamokshan(siravedha) and Shaman Chikitsa in Vicharchika.

Skin diseases are most common form of infections. Due to changes in lifestyle, food habits and different causative organisms; the occurrence of skin diseases is increasing day by day. While treating of skin diseases, with the help of modern science, success is mixed with lot of hazards. In Ayurveda, all skin diseases are described under the title-‘Kushtha’. Many medicinal plants are described in treatment of Kushtha according to its type. Nyagrodha (Ficus benghalensis), Ashvattha (Ficus religiosa) and Udumbara (Ficus racemosa) are the plants belonging to Moraceae family and Ficus species. These are classified under the Mishrak gana viz. - Panchvalkala Vruksh and Panchkshiri Vruksh, which are used for the treatment of Pittaj kushtha since ages. All these three drugs are in possession of Kashaya Rasa, Katu Vipaka and Sheeta Veerya along with Ruksha guna. Kashaya rasa is composed of Prithvi and Vayu mahabhuta and is responsible for Kledshoshak activity. Kashaya rasa and Sheeta veerya have Pittaghna and Stambhak action by which it reduces kleda which is one of the main Dushyas in Kushtha. Ruksha guna act as kled and strav shoshak. Use of Nyagrodha, Ashvattha and Udumbara may found beneficial in treatment of Pittaj Kushtha. As these drugs are easily available and cost effective; they may offer a helping hand for the poor patients suffering from skin diseases. This review reveals their role in Pittaj Kushtha.

Skin diseases are commonly observed day by day due to altered life style, improper hygiene, mental stress, over eating and nutrition deficiency. All the skin diseases in Ayurveda have been discussed under the broad heading of Kushtha, which are further divided into Mahakushtha and Kshudra Kushtha. Kapala kushtha is a type of Mahakushtha with symptoms like blackish red skin patches, which resembles pot sherds, dry, rough, thin, wide, of uneven edges with severe pain and less itching. It can be compared to scleroderma; the first specific clinical symptoms to suggest a diagnosis of scleroderma is skin thickening. Later the skin becomes hard, shiny, leathery and hardens like a stone. This article highlights a case study of Kapala Kushtha treated with the Ayurvedic principles in particular Shodhana Chikitsa; the therapy which expels out the morbid Doshas from the body. Kushtha is difficult to cure, so it is called ‘Dushchikitsya’ but by the application of Shodhana therapy, cure of the diseases becomes easier due to removal of the root cause. Here is a case study of 67yrs/female having signs and symptoms of Kapala kushtha. The patient was admitted and managed with Shodhana Chikitsa (purification) which included Raktashodhak Ksheer Basti (medicated enema) and Virechan (purgation) followed by Shaman Chikitsa (pacification) and the results with rationality have been depicted in this article.

Skin is one of the important sensory organs that protects against mechanical trauma, UV light and infection, in addition the skin is concerned with thermoregulation, conservation, excretion of fluid and sensory per-ception. The pores present in skin help in the hair nourishment, detoxification process and keeping skin healthy. Therefore, any anatomical or physiological abnormalities in skin or related organs may leads vari-ous disorders of skin like Psoriasis, Acne, Leprosy, Hyper pigmentation, Skin allergy. The incidences of Skin diseases are increasing day by day. Modern medicine provides temporary relief but not complete cure. Therefore, peoples are gradually turning towards Ayurveda for safe and complete cure of diseases. Espe-cially in the field of Skin diseases. In Ayurveda concept of Dushivisha is very unique. Dushivisha is a low potent poison which vitiates Dhatus. In its relationship with Raktdhatu some of the Skin diseases caused by Dushivisha which are described in Samhitas are Kustha, Visarpa, Shitpitta, Udarda, Kotha. In present era, people are exposing to various toxins in day to day life which are causing various health problems. There are many such kind of diseases where treatment does not work, as it is not eliminating the root cause. Skin diseases can be prevented and if it occurs then can be cured through Ayurvedic Agada’s. Agada’s are the counter measures taken against this manifestation. Achayra Yogratnakara mentioned Pippalyadi Agada in the management of Dushivisha. It can be a better choice for the treatment of Dushivisha janya Twak vikar by its Kusthghna, Krimighna, Vishaghna, Kandughna properties.

ABSTRACTBackground : Acne vulgaris is acommon skin disease, affecting more than 85% ofadolescents and often continuing into adulthood.People between 11 and 30 years of age and up to5% of older adults. For most patients acne remainsa nuisance with occasional flares of unsightlycomedones, pustules and nodules. For other lessfortunate persons, the sever inflammatory responseto Propionibacterium acnes (P.acnes) results inpermanentMethods: Disfiguring scars. (1, 2) Stigmata of severacne cane lead to social ostracism, withdrawalfrom society and severe psychologicdepression (1-4).Result Pathogenesis of acne Traditionally, acnehas been thought of as a multifactorial disease ofthe folliculosebaceous unit, involving excesssebum production, abnormal follicularhyperkeratinization, overgrowth ofPropionibacterium acnes, and inflammation (Fig2). Recent laboratory and clinical investigationsinto the roles of the innate immune system andextracellular matrix remodeling proteins have shedadditional light on this pathogenetic process (5-7).Role of androgens: Activity of type 1 5areductaseenzyme was shown to predominate inhuman sebaceous glands and epidermis. Thisenzyme is responsible for the conversion oftestosterone to the more potent androgen,dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT in turn is thoughtto mediate androgen dependent skin diseases suchas acne, hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia (13)The enzyme 5a-reductase type 1 has been studiedin those with and without acne and it has beenhypothesized that those with acne might have moreactive 5a-reductase type 1 .(2)Conclusion : The prominent role of hormones inthe pathophysiology of acne has long beenrecognized and corroborated by clinical andexperimental observations and therapeuticexperience (14). Although acne is not considered aprimary endocrine disorder, androgens, such asdihydrotestosterone, dehydroepiandrosteronesulfate, and testosterone, and growth hormone andinsulin-like growth factors, have all beenimplicated in the pathogenesis of acne (15).Corresponding address to :Dr. Yasir Mansour Mohamed Al-AniIslam Mohammad Nabil El Helou

Severity Of The Disease

Acne is the most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases. Multiple factors, such as hormonal, environmental, immunological, and genetic factors, are thought to be involved in acne. However, genetic studies have yet to elucidate the full mechanism of acne. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of MMP-2 (-1306C/T) and TIMP-2 (-418G/C) polymorphisms with the risk of acne vulgaris in a Chinese Han population. We also analyzed the correlation of clinical parameters and family history in patients with acne vulgaris. This study included 251 acne patients and 121 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood, and genotyping was performed by PCR and DNA sequencing techniques. There is a significant correlation between the MMP-2 (-1306C/T) polymorphism and the acne vulgaris (P<0.001). Although no association was found between the TIMP-2 (-418G/C) polymorphism and the acne vulgaris, patients with the MMP-2 CT/TIMP-2 GG or GC allele are at higher risk of acne vulgaris. There is also a significant difference in the severity of the disease between acne vulgaris patients with and without family history (P<0.001). This study indicated that the MMP-2 (-1306C/T) polymorphism, in combination with the TIMP-2 (-418G/C) polymorphism, contributes to acne vulgaris susceptibility in the Chinese Han population.

Abstract The paper reports the investigation on the root cause of source-drain leakage in bulk FinFET devices. While the failing device was readily isolated by nanoprobing technique and the electrical analysis pinpointed the potential defect location inside the Fin channel, the identification of physical root cause went through extreme challenges imposed by the tiny-sized device and the unique FinFET 3D architecture. The initial TEM analysis was misled by the projection of a species in the lamella surface and thus could not explain the electrical data. Careful analysis on the device structure was able to identify the origin of the species and led to the discovery of the actual root cause. This paper will provide the analysis details leading to the findings, and highlight the role of electrical understanding in not only providing guidance for physical analysis but also revealing the true root cause of failure in FinFET devices.
