Abstract

The skin, as the body’s largest organ, is highly prone to various disorders due to its size and exposure to external factors. The majority of skin conditions are often the result of infections, including those caused by fungi or bacteria. In Ayurveda, skin diseases are grouped under the term ‘Kustha’ and are further categorized into MahaKustha and KshudraKustha. Among these, Dadru is a notable condition, classified as Raktapradoshaja Vikara, with a dominance of Kapha and Pitta doshas. The symptoms of Dadru closely resemble those of Tinea, a fungal infection typically resulting from poor hygiene. These abstract highlights a case of Dadru Kustha. A 47 Yrs. old Male patient came with complaints about recurrent symptoms like Circular and Greyish- reddish patches over the Ankle joint of both legs associated with severe itching since last 2 years. He was treated with Nimbadi Churna,Suddha Gandhak, Suddha Swarna- Gairika, Suddha Sphatika, Rasamanikya, Arogyavardhini Vati, Khadiraaristha and Gandhak ointment. The treatment lasted for 21 days, and after completion, significant improvements were noted in symptoms such as itching (Kandu), erythema (Raga), eruptions (Pidika), and elevated circular skin lesions (Utsaana Mandala). Suddha Gandhak, Suddha Swarna-Gairika, Suddha Sphatika, Rasa Manikya, Arogyavardhini Vati and Gandhak ointment has properties like Kandughna, Kusthagana & Krimighna which is helpful in elimination of aggravated dosha thus breaks the samprapti of the Dadru Kustha. From this case study it can be concluded that Shaman Chikitsa are effective in the management of Dadru Kustha.
