Abstract

Ayurveda has given importance to skin diseases since the era of Veda. Dadru is a disease affecting the Twak with symptoms of Kandu, Mandala and Pidaka. It is a Kaphapitta Pradhana, where the symptom closely resembles with symptoms of Tinea infection. Dadru Kushta is due to consumption of Ati Amlalavana Sevana, Ati Snigdha and Ati Drava Ahara Sevana and subjects who are taking Dadhi and Matsya with Kshira which leads to aggravation of Pitta and Kapha Doshas which causes derangement on the skin. North Karnataka is well known for its hot and humid conditions making its population at risk of many Dermatophytic infections. Most common are Tinea Corporis and Tinea Cruris. With this an effort is made to understand the Etiopathogenesis of Dadru Kushta w.s.r. to Tinea Infection.
