Management of Vipadika through Shodhana and Shamana: A Case Study
Abstract
All skin diseases in Ayurveda are broadly classified under the heading of Kushta (skin disorders). Vipadika is one among the Kshudra Kushta. It is characterized by Sphutanam (cracking) either in palms or soles or in both with Teevra Vedana (severe pain). Vipadika can be correlated with palmar-plantar psoriasis which is a chronic skin disease which affects palms and sole region. In the present case report a patient with complaint of dryness, scaling, itching and cracking of both palms associated with bleeding and pain since 6 months, was treated with Shodana (Virechana) and Shamana Aushadhi’s, followed by Raktamokshana has shown a significant result. Shodhana helps remove the root cause of the disease, and prevents recurrence.
