Brief Summary

Psoriasis is one of the most common dermatological diseases affecting 2% of the World’s population. In India, the prevalence of Psoriasis varies from 0.44% to 2.8%. To date, no proper curative measures are found to treat psoriasis in modern science, so it is necessary to find a safe and effective measure for Psoriasis. Psoriasis has maximum resemblance with the Kitibha kushtha mentioned as a type of Kushtha in Ayurvedic classics so can be treated as per Kushtha chikitsa. As per Ayurveda’s unique treatment, Basti karma here is an attempt to study the efficacy of  Darvyadi Niruhabasti and Panchatikta Panchaprasrutik Basti with Madanadi taila Anuvasana Basti in the management of Kitibha Kushtha (Psoriasis).
