Vd. Prerana P. Jawale

Abstract :

 In Ayurveda, all the variants of skin diseases are included under the title kushtarog which is further classified into two divisions that is mahakushtha and kshudrakushta where in vicharchika finds its place in kshudrakutha. In modern science vicharchika shows similarity with eczema. Eczema is an acute or chronic non-contagious itching inflammatory disease of skin. In long standing condition the part of the skin may become thickened. The area of skin involved can vary from small to entire body. In case of acute presentation it may be vesicular and oozing. It is characterised by dry, itchy skin with areas of poorly demarcated erythema and scales. The cause of the disease is still unclear according to modern science and there is no perfect treatment or medication for the disease. The only treatment provided is symptomatic by giving steroids. Where as Ayurveda offers treatment to the disease from the route by correcting vitiated doshas and establishing samyata of dosha and dhatu. This gives ayurvedic approach a fruitful result by following its principal of shodhan and shaman. Here I present a case of 35yrs old female patient diagnosed with vicharchika and was suffering since many years. Treated her as per ayurvedic principle that is shodhan and shaman chikitsa and providing good result.
