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.

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 is the largest and protective organ of the body that comes in contact with the external world. The skin has many roles in the maintenance of life and health. Pathological Manifestations in the skin are caused by both external and internal factors. Nowadays skin diseases are more common due to improper lifestyles and habits. Urticaria is one among them. The present case study is about, a 30-year-old female patient, visited our hospital (KC OPD) with a chief complaint of itching, redness, and mild burning sensation all over the body for nine years. We diagnosed her with Kota. Kota is mentioned in Ayurveda as one among the Twak Vikara. Most of the Acharyas are explained Sheethapitha, Udarda and Kota under a single chapter because of almost similar symptomatology. The main symptoms of Kota are Mandala (elevated round), Kandu (itching), Raga(redness), Bahuni (number) and Sanubandatha (frequency of attack). In comparison to symptomatology, Urticaria is quite similar like Kota. In India, approximately 15-20% of the general population will have Urticaria once in their life. Chronic Urticaria is defined as urticaria persisting daily or almost daily for more than 6 weeks. Chronic autoimmune urticaria or chronic idiopathic urticaria has no discernable external cause. It can cause severe impairment on the quality of life. There is no complete treatment for this, but medicines and lifestyle changes can help the patient to feel better according to modern science. In Ayurveda it is a Sadhyavyadhi, Treatment adopted here are Vamana, Virechana, Siravyada followed by Patolakaturohinyadi kashayam, Nimbadi guggulu, Vilwadigulika, Manibadram Guda. This case study proves the Ayurvedic management in Urticaria is very effective with promising results. Keywords: Kota, Urticaria, Shodhana, Shamana Aushadhis

Present Case Study

Good skin is an integral part of health. In the present era, skin diseases are becoming a major hazard for mental health more than physical harm as it attributes the cosmetic harmony. Skin diseases are the outcome of improper food habits and lifestyles. Ayurveda has described all the skin diseases under the heading of Kushta. It is further divided into Maha Kushta and Kshudra Kushta. Vipadika is a common disorder of skin mentioned under Kshudraroga characterized by fissures and cracks in the hand and feet with severe pain.1Vata Kapha Dosha is involved in this disease. The main features are Panipada Sputana along with Kandu, Thivravedana and Raga.2 It can be compared with palmoplantar psoriasis in modern science. It is an auto-immune condition, characterized by red scaly patches on palm and soles often with fissures and bleeding. Ayurvedic treatment is very effective in these conditions. A 49-year-old male patient came to KVG Ayurveda Medical College, KC, OPD with complaints of itching, scaly lesion and pain in palms and soles, for 4 months. According to Lakshanas, it is diagnosed as Vipadika and treated with Shodhana, Shamana and Rasayana Oushadis and the patient got good relief. Ayurvedic treatment is very effective in the management of skin diseases because Ayurveda removes Doshas from its root. The present case study proves the Ayurvedic management of Vipadika Kushta is very effective with promising results. Keywords: Vipadika Kushta, palmo plantar psoriasis, Shodana, Shamana, Rasayana.

       Mukha ( mouth or oral cavity) is one of the important parts of our body. The digestive system starts from mukha so it is important to maintain proper oral hygiene for our overall health status. Mukhapaka is a commonest disease of oral mucosa found in India as well as all over the world. Mukhapaka can be correlated with stomatitis or mouth ulcers as per modern science. Oral ulceration is encountered frequently in our daily practice. Stomatitis is curable & not considered a threat to life but these ulcers have a significant negative impact on oral health, affecting the quality of life. It also affects normal activities like eating & swallowing. Sometimes brushing & talking also becomes painful. In Ayurveda  various treatment modalities are described for mukhapaka. I have selected one of them to establish the efficacy of Gandush on mukhapaka in my present case study.

Skin is the outermost covering of body and the largest organ of the integumentary system. Skin diseases are major health problem with emotional and psychological burden on patients. In Ayurvedic classics, almost all the skin diseases come under the broad heading of Kushtha. Dadru is a type of Kushtha which can be correlated with Tinea infection (fungal infection) in modern science. Three genera of dermatophytes infect skin i.e. Trichophyton spp, Epidermophyton spp and Microsporum spp. Ayurveda describes a multitude of treatment modalities for skin diseases in relation with various types of kushtha. One of them is the topical use of medicaments over the skin for topical absorption which allows faster absorption and better management of skin diseases. Lepa kalpana is a herbal or herbo-mineral drug for topical use. Although lepa is an important therapy in various diseases but it is highly useful specifically in dermatological diseases. This review describes different lepas which are especially mentioned for Dadru in doctrines of Ayurveda. Key words: Dadru, Kushtha, Lepa kalpana , Skin diseases.

In Ayurveda most of the skin diseases are explained under the term Kushtha. Shwitra is considered as one of the varieties of Kushtha in the Ayurvedic Classics, caused vitiation of Tridoshas and Dhatus like Rakta, Mamsa and Meda. The references of Shwitra are found in almost all the Samhitas like Bruhatrayees and Laghutrayees. Partial or complete loss of skin pigmentation giving rise to white patch on any part of the body is called as leucoderma or vitiligo and in Ayurveda it is called as Shwitra. This depigmentation results due to destruction of melanocytes, which may be unknown in origin or due to autoimmune endocrinopathies selective IgA deficiency. A female patient, aged 20 year suffering from white patches in neck region since 4 year was treated with both Shaman Chikitsa and Sodhan Chikitsa for a period to 4 months with follow up at every 30 days in between, Relief from the complaints was assessed by noting the changes in the size of patch. After 4 months of treatment the size of patch was reduced.
