Abstract
The Kustha Vyadhi mentioned in Ayurvedic texts occurs due to the vitiation of Tridosha and 4 Dushya (Saptko-dravya sangrah). They are divided into two main parts: Maha and Kshudra- Kustha. Eka Kustha (Psoriasis) is one of among the Kshudra Kustha. It is a chronic inflammatory skin disease usually present in the extremities, trunk, scalp, hairs, etc. This case study deals with a thirty-five-year-old female patient suffering from brown scaly plaques (Matsyashaklopama), Sarvang Kandu (Itching) and Ragata (Redness) who came to our college. In this case study, one sitting of Ayurvedic Bahu-Sanshodhana (i.e., Vaman followed by Virechan followed by Nasya and Raktmokshan Karma) was done.
