Skin is one of the most beautiful organs God has ever blessed to anyone. Everyone craves for beautiful skin and makes all possible efforts to make it glow. To achieve this, they are engaged in continuous use of creams, moist- urizers and other cosmetic articles which lead to immediate or long-term skin issues. Itching being the predomi- nant symptom of these cosmetic issues make people highly embarrassed in society. In Ayurveda, almost all skin conditions are explained under one umbrella called Kushta. It is broadly classified into Mahakushta and Kshudra- kushta1. Dadru Kushta one among the Kshudra Kushta is the most common skin condition accounts for 20% in all consultation in general practice2.
