Abstract

Vicharchika is one among the disorders that has increased due to the globalization and has incapacitated many people due to its impact on their lifestyle. Patients with Vicharchika in general undergo many kinds of treatment but still look out for the treatments that would provide them a permanent relief and would not have a recurrence. Ayurveda assures the relief with more focus on prevention. In Ayurveda, Vicharchika is understood as one among the Kustha or the skin disorders and Eczema in Modern medicine. This condition is managed with oral and local medications as per the Modern medicine and a comprehensive treatment including Shodhana and Shamana chikitsa with Sthanika chikitsa with appropriate pathya aahara and pathya vihara according to Ayurveda that serves the objective of the Ayurvedic science that the prevention is better than cure.The present study is an attempt to review the management of  Vicharchika both from the Modern and the Ayurvedic perspectives.
