Abstract

Psoriasis is a type of Kushta known as Kitibha Kushtha, occurring mainly due to imbalance of Vata and Kapha doshas. It is immune-mediated disease clinically characterised by thickened rough skin lesions, scaling, itching and in some cases, it covers entire body, but palmoplantar psoriasis is mostly restricted to palms & sole of the feet. Modern medical science treats psoriasis but the disease has high recurrence rate and these medicines have severe side effects. Owing to these reasons, there is a need of treatment which have good efficacy with no side effects. So this study was conducted considering Psoriasis as Kitibha Kushta and Ayurvedic management planned accordingly. Drastic results were witnessed by Ayurvedic oral (Gandhak Rasayan vati, Arogya Vardhini vati, Aragvadhadi Kashay Mahatiktaka ghruta , Raspachak yoga ) and local ( Mahamarichyadi tail) medicines with short span of time.
