A SUCCESSFUL CASE STUDY OF VAIPADIKA WITH SHODHANA AND SHA-MANA CHIKITSA

Twak Vikaras (skin disorders) interfere with the physical, psychological and social isolation of the person. Due to lifestyle changes and stress, the accumulation of Visha (Dushi visha, Garavisha) and the vitiation of Dosha (biological energies) and Dhatus (tissues) produce Vikaras (diseases) of Twak (skin). In Ayurveda 18 Types of Twak Vikaras included in Kushta roga (skin disorders), Vaipadika is one among them and has symptoms like Hasta Pada Sphutana (cracks over palms and sole), Daha (burning sensation), Ruja (pain), Kandu (itching), Raga Pidakas (red color macules) are mentioned by different Acharyas. Here is a case study of a male aged 38 years who has the above symptoms. For this, we have planned Shodana (detoxification) and Shamana Chikitsa (oral medication).
