Anushree B. S.* and Surekha S. Medikeri
ABSTRACT
In Ayurveda, skin diseases are classified under kusta, visarpa, and kshudraroga and are addressed using Rasaushadhis as described in the Brihat Trayi, which includes the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya. This study explores the therapeutic applications of Rasa dravyas in treating Twak vikaras as cited in these texts. Rasa Shastra, the branch of Ayurveda that focuses on mercury-based medicines, underscores the effectiveness of these potent formulations, known for their rapid action, high absorbability, and extended shelf life. This review emphasizes the enduring value of Rasaushadhis in the management of complex skin conditions, drawing on the traditional insights of the Brihat Trayi.This provides a comprehensive review of Ayurvedic formulations containing Rasa dravyas in various forms, including lepa, taila and choorna, along with their therapeutic uses in dermatology. The Brihat Trayi mentions approximately 20 Rasa drugs specifically indicated for skin disorders.
