Dadru is one of the common skin diseases mentioned in Ayurveda. In Ayurveda Twak Sharir holds important place. Ayurvedic literatures have described Twak Sharir with various types of Kushtha according to layers of skin. Dadru is a type of Kushtha which mainly affects the 4th layer among the six layers of the skin. In modern science the clinical manifestation of Dadru is closely related to local fungal/tinea infection which is affecting upto 15% of population. Excessive severe itching and ring shaped red patches are the common manifestation which can be diagnosed by Darshana and Prashana Pariksha. Management includes Shodhan, Shaman and Bahirparimarjan Chikitsa. Among them Shaman measures in the form of Lepa (topical applications) are widely prescribed. In present study Gandhakadi Malhar is selected as Topical application.

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.

Diet And Lifestyle

Nowadays due to unawareness about Prakriti (psychosomatic constitution) people are practising inappropriate diet and lifestyle which leads to disturbances in the digestive system. The core principles in Ayurveda give prime im- portance to Agni, Prakriti, Ahara (food) and Vihara (lifestyle) in maintaining health. In the present era, people are scheduled to one or the other works due to which they are following unwholesome food and habits which may lead to the manifestation of many diseases. One of the common disorders which troubles a person a lot is Amlapitta. It is composed of the word Amla and Pitta. Amlapitta is a very common disease caused by Vidagdha Pitta with features like Amlaudgara, Tiktaudgara, Hrud Kantha Daha etc. It is the GI disorder described in Ayurvedic texts that closely resembles Gastritis in modern science. In the chronic stage, it may lead to ulcerative colitis. In modern medical science, they give some anta-acids, H2 blockers, Proton pump inhibitors, some steroids which have high prevalence costs and side effects. Today there is a need for a potent herbal formulation that can cure hyperacidity and ulcers. The present study is being undertaken to approach the disease Amlapitta through the formulation of Narikela Khanda. Keywords: Ayurveda, Amlapitta, Narikela Khanda.

Day By Day

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 Conditions

The aim of this chapter is to provide nurses with the knowledge to be able to assess, manage, and care for people with skin conditions in an evidence-based and person-centred way. The chapter will provide a comprehensive overview of the commonest skin diseases and their causes before exploring best practice to assess and help patients to manage skin conditions. Nursing priorities are highlighted throughout, and the nursing management of the symptoms and common health problems associated with skin conditions can be found in Chapters 19, 20, 21, 24, 27, and 28 on skin care and the maintenance of skin hygiene, skin barrier integrity, the prevention of skin breakdown, and wound management, respectively. Skin care is a fundamental area of nursing responsibility. The skin, or integumentary system, is the largest organ of the body and has significant protective and thermoregulatory functions. Skin disease is common, accounting for approximately 24% of GP visits (Schofield et al., 2009). It may have a major psychosocial impact on a person’s quality of life through its influence on appearance, body image, and self-esteem. This chapter introduces you to the common skin diseases that you are likely to encounter when caring for adult patients and outlines the nursing problems that you will need to manage. The cause or aetiology of common skin conditions lies with the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. For example, a child’s eczema is influenced by his or her genotype and his or her exposure to environmental allergens. Within the UK population, 23–25% have a skin problem at some time in their lives that can benefit from medical care (Schofield et al., 2009). Skin problems are the commonest reason for consulting a GP, with 6% referred for specialist advice. As such, all registered nurses should have the knowledge and skills to manage the common conditions. The commonest skin conditions in the Western hemisphere are chronic inflammatory skin diseases (CISDs), such as eczema. In developing countries, the common conditions are infections and infestations. The quality-of-life impact of CISDs can exceed that for life-threatening conditions such as cancer (Rapp et al., 1999; Kingman, 2005).

The review represents the analysis of modern data on the pathogenesis and methods of treatment of atopic dermatitis (AtD). The literature search was carried out using the Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, e-library databases. AtD is one of the most common skin diseases, aff ecting about 20% of children and 5% of adults in advanced countries. The disease is multifactorial by its etiology. Among the genetic factors, the main attention is paid to the mutation of the gene encoding the synthesis of fi laggrin-protein involved in the functioning of the skin barrier. The role of cytokines regulating the synthesis of IgE — interleukins (IL) -4, -5, -12, -13, -31 is studied in the genesis of immune disorders in AtD. Steady-state stress accompanying pruritic dermatitis contributes to the development of anxiodepressive сonditions degrades quality of life, and stress-related increase of cortisol level may be essential in impairing the barrier function of the skin. Among the new approaches to the treatment of patients with AtD, the possibilities of using Selank, which represents the group of regulatory peptides and narrow-band phototherapy of the 311 nm range, are discussed.

Present Case Study

Ayurveda described various skin diseases under the single heading Kushta. In Charaka Samhita, Acharya Charaka explained Ashtadasha Kushtas in two main categories namely ‘Maha Kushta’ and ‘Kshudra Kushta’. Kushta is tridoshaja vyadi, however, the symptoms appear according to the dosha predominance. Vipadika is one of the Kshudra Kushta with predominance of vata kapha doshas and it is charactrised by Pani Pada sputana (fissures in palms and soles) and Teevra vedana (severe pain). According to clinical manifestations, Vipadika is more similar to ‘Planto Palmar Psoriasis’ which is long lasting Auto Immune disease. It is found to be 3-4% of all Psoriasis cases. In modern science, many treatment modalities are available to treat the disease. They may cause many side effects and recurrence after subside is also very common which gave a big scope to alternative system of medicines to treat Vipadika. In the present case study, the line of management followed was mentioned by Acharya Charaka, according to dosha Predominance. The patient, initially administered sneha pana with Maha Tiktaka gritha for 7 days which was beneficial to pacify pitta dosha and kapha dosha utkleshana before Vamana. Later on, Vamana therapy was conducted to eliminate kapha dosha which gave good symptomatic relief to the patient. However, in view of the severity, chronicity and recurrence of the disease, Mridu Lavana jala Avagaha Sweda followed by Padhabyanga with pinda taila was also performed which resulted in excellent improvement in very short period of time.
