Abstract

In Ayurveda, Kushta refers to various skin diseases, commonly including leprosy as a term associated with these conditions. Kushta is generally divided into two categories: Maha Kushta (major skin ailments) and Kshudra Kushta (minor skin ailments). Vipadika is one among the Kshudra Kushta often compared with palmar-plantar psoariasis characterized by severe pain, itching in the palms and soles as a cause of vitiated Vata and Kapha Doshas. Vipadika is also included one among the 80 Vatika Nanatmaja Vyadhis as the increased Ruksha Guna of Vata results in cracking of Pani & Pada (Pani Pada Sphutana). In this present study, patient having the complaints of pain, itching, scaling and cracking of both palms & soles was treated using Shamana Aushadhis internally along with external application, created a significant result.
