There is lot of difference between today’s life style and ancient lifestyle so the application of ayurvedic principles should be modified and applied according to disease condition. Ancient ayurvedic principles must be retestified because pure metal regains its shiny nature by its polishing.For that purpose we need to do research. Ayurveda considers certain diseases under Kshudra Kushta.Many authors like Acharya Charaka, Acharya Sushruta ,Acharya Vagbhata etc mentioned few diseases under Kshudrarogas.
