AN AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF KITIBHA KUSHTHA: A CASE STUDY
View through CrossRef
The word "Kushtha" refers to a disease that despises skin. Kitibha kushtha is a type of kshudra kushtha that predominates over Vata Kapha dosha. Psoriasis is a chronic and dreadful disease that can have substantial psychological and social impacts on a patient’s life. Psoriasis is a non-contagious, chronic, inflammatory and proliferative
skin disorder characterised by red, thickened plaques with silvery scales. Objectives: This study evaluated the efficacy of Antaparimarjan and Bahiparimarjan chikitsa in Kitibha Kushtha. Materials and Methods: Here, we report
a case of a male patient of middle age presented with Shyava varnata, Parushata, and Kanduta for 30 years to OPD.
The disease manifests psychosomatically. Based on symptoms and clinical findings, the case was diagnosed as
kitibha kushta. This case was treated effectively through therapeutic interventions in Ayurveda, i.e., Antaparimarjan
(internal administration of drugs) and Bahiparimarjan Chikitsa (local application). The patient reported significant
improvement in signs and symptoms
