Abstract :

Everyday innumerable skin diseases are emerging with their different pathological event, but it very difficult to identify the names and identical symptoms of all those diseases. Fortuitously the basic principles of Ayurveda are helpful to diagnose and treat a disease without knowing the terminology of skin diseases. The skin diseases can be diagnosed by using a diagnostic principle of Kustha mentioned in Charaka Samhita and accordingly can treat them. Kitibha is a skin disorder comes under Kshudra Kustha in Samhitas. The comparative study of Kitibha is done with Psoriasis in modern. Under my study the efficacy of Haridra (Curcuma longa), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) and Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) were presented on the basis of statistical analysis for the management of Kitibha (Psoriasis) as a clinical trial.
