Abstract

Eka-Kushta is one among the Kshudra Kushta presenting with Lakshanas like Aswedanam, Mahavastu and Matsyashakalopama. It is of prime importance due to its chronicity and severity which involves a larger extent of the body. This is often compared to Psoriasis. Psoriasis is one of the most common dermatological conditions affecting both males and females upto 2% of world’s population. It is an immune mediated disease characterized by erythematous, sharply demarcated papules and rounded plaques covered by silvery micaceous scale which are variably pruritic. Traumatized areas, infections, stress and medications like beta blockers, anti-malarial drugs may exacerbate psoriasis. Kushta, a disease of Bahudosha, Bhuridosha and Saptakodravya Sangraha is to be treated by adopting repeated Antah Parimarjana as well as Bahir Parimarjanachikitsa. The present study was aimed to assess the efficacy of Bahir Parimarjana Chikitsa in the form Sarvangaudwarthana with Manjistha Choorna, Triphala Choorna and Takradhara with Musta, Asandi, Amalaki Choorna. This is a clinical study wherein 20 diagnosed Eka-Kushta patients of either sex were selected. The overall result in the study revealed that there is statistically significant (p<0.001) improvement in patients after the treatment.
