Among the various skin disorders Psoriasis has prime importance & has raised challenges for medical fraternity. Psoriasis is a multifactorial, Autoimmune, chronic, relapsing, inflammatory skin disease affecting 1-2% of general population. Effective therapeutic agents (e.g. - PUVA) for the treatment of Psoriasis in contemporary medicine may have long-term toxic side effects like Melanoma (Skin CA), Nausea, Hepatotoxicity, etc. which makes Ayurvedic medications a good choice because it overcomes the said limitations. Psoriasis is commonly correlated with Ekakushtha which is one among the Kshudra Kushtha having Vata-Kaphaj predominance. According to, Ayurvedic management of Kushtha prime importance is given to repeated “Shodhan†procedure. Hence present study highlights, case study of Eka-Kushtha treated with combined shaman & Shodhan Chikitsa i.e. Virechan. Here an effort was made to treat a 20 years old male patient having classical signs & symptoms of Eka-Kushtha since 1 year. As the principle of treatment of all types of Kushtha is Shodhan along with shaman drugs. In this study initially Shaman Chikitsa is given followed by Shodhan i.e. Virechan.
