A Clinical Study on Role of Vaman Karma with Nimbapatol Kashay in Vicarcikā
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The Vicarcikā as a clinical entity can be correlated with Eczema, which is one among the common chronic skin diseases. Its epidemiological studies reveal that it has affected 10- 20% population in India. Eczema is a type of dermatitis and these terms are often used synonymously. Primary lesions may include erythematous macules, papules, and vesicles, which can coalesce to form patches and plaques, marked by weeping and crusting and may include pruritus and scratching1 . These signs and symptoms very much resemble with those of Vicarcikā, which is a Kshudra Kuşţha and is a Kapha Pitta Pradhān Tridośaj Vikār. Vaman is the main treatment for Ãmashayastha Pitta and Kapha. Though Vicarcikā is a Kśudra Kuşţha, it has more recurrence and relapse rate inspite of its best available management. In all Kuşţha, there is Duśti of Twak, Rakta, Mansa and Ambu. In Ch. Chi.7, it is directly given that Vaman Karma is the proper Karma in Kaphaj Kuşţha and according to Śarangdhara, Vaman is indicated with the help of Nimba and Patol in Pitta Sanślista Kapha condition, which directly applied to Vicarcikā. Hence clinical study of Vaman Karma with Nimba Patol Kashay in Vicarcikā was performed. The study revealed that there is marked improvement in clinical and symptomatic manifestations of Vicarcikā.
