ABSTRACT
Eka-Kushtha is a type of Kshudra Kushtha described in Ayurvedic Classics, which is mainly Vata-Kapha predominant. The classical symptoms of Eka-Kushtha can be compared with Plaque Psoriasis due to its maximum resemblance. Psoriasis is a long-lasting auto-immune disease, more stress sensitive than any other skin disease, and is rarely life-threatening but can affect a person's self-image. 4-5 % of the total world population have Psoriasis and its prevalence in India ranges from 0.44 to 2.8%. In modern medical science, Psoriasis can be treated with PUVA, corticosteroids, antihistamines, etc. But these therapies give serious side effects and still remains challenging. Hence the need for time to find out safe and effective treatment for Psoriasis and here Ayurveda plays an important role. The unique treatment modality of Ayurveda provides long-lasting results and a better life for patients. Various treatment forms of Shodhana and Shamana Chikitsa mentioned in classical texts for Kushtha are very effective.
