Abstract

Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine. Ancient Aryans practice it, which was based on Atharvaveda, one of the oldest scripture of Hindu. Khalitya, which is a common disease nowadays and a view of cosmetic also. In Madhavkosha commentary, Kartik acharya has described the differentiation between Indralupta, Khalitya and Ruhya first time. Ayurveda stresses on the role of  Pitta and Vata in the production of Khalitya. This disease may occur either independently or as a symptom of morbid Asthidhatu. Most of the author of ayurvedic texts described Khalitya under kshudra roga. In the modern view, Khalitya could be correlated with Alopecia and it is more common in men than women. Khalitya is commonly seen in the age group of 18-40 years. In this critical study, we focused on Nidan, Rupa, Samprapti and Chikitsa of Khalitya.
