A Case Study: Effect Of Vidangaidagajadi Lepa In The Management of Dadru Kushta W.S.R. To Dematophytosis

Skin is the largest and the most infection prone organ. Its size and the external location is more prone to most of the fungal, bacterial and other infections. In ayurveda all skin diseases are explained under the concept of kushta rogas. Dadru kushta is one of the kushta rogas, that comes under the heading of kshudra kushta, characterized by circular, reddish skin lesions accompanied by intense itching (kandu), burning sensation (daha), and oozing (srava). Dadru kushta is clinically compared to dermatophytosis in modern medicine. Commonly known as ringworm. Ayurveda offers the treatment for the dadru kushta through internal medications (shamana), external applications (lepa, dhupan), and purification therapies (shodhana). Here the lepa application is done, with the vidangaidagajadi lepa. As it has shown a very good result to the patient suffering with the dadru kushta so a case study is done.
