Abstract

Tuvarakabeeja Taila is the potential healer for all types of ‘Kshudra kushtha’. Tuvaraka is a classical drug of Ayurveda. The disease ‘Vicharchika’ which is one among the ‘kshudra kushthas’ is co-related with eczema. One among the 11 ‘kshudra kushtha’ is vicharchika. Its cardinal signs and symptoms are ‘kandu’, ‘srava’, ‘vaivarnya’, ‘pidaka’ and ‘rukshata’. It is characterized by blackish brown eruptions over skin associated with itching and with excessive exudation. The signs of eczema over the affected skin are - skin redness and swelling with ill-defined margins, papules, vesicles and blisters, exudation and cracking, scaling, thickening, lichenification, a dry leathery thickening, fissures and scratch marks and pigmentation. In this pilot study ‘tuvaraka beeja taila’ is used for treating the selected vicharchika conditions to re-discover and re-prove its therapeutic efficacy ‘vicharchika’.
