Abstract

The aim of Ayurveda is “Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshana” and “Aturasya Vikara Prashamana,” it is achieved on the bases of various concepts of Ayurveda. Nidana is one of them. To cope with the fast developing field of medicine many Ayurvedic concepts are to be reviewed, also must be updated and presented so as to fulfill the lacunae in diagnosis and treatment of the disease. With this background, the study “A conceptual study on Charakokta Nidana of Visarpa with special Reference to present day Aharaja and Viharaja” was carried out. All the skin diseases including Visarpa can be prevented if effective care is taken in terms of avoidance of predisposing factors. Since it is not very sure about the exact causative factors of Visarpa, so this Observational study may help to identify the most commonly involved Nidana. Nidana in causation of Visarpa which in turn may help for initiating preventive measures. Nidana of Visarpa explained in Charaka Samhita still holds good in present day life style.
