Abstract:

Kushtha is a broad term in Ayurveda used for various dermatological disorders. It is considered one of the Ashta Mahagada due to its chronic nature, recurrence, and psychosocial impact. Ayurveda explains Kushtha as a Tridoshaja Vyadhi with dominance of Kapha and involvement of Rakta, Mamsa and Lasika. This paper highlights the classical concept of Kushtha and elaborates the Ayurvedic principles of management including Shodhana, Shamana, Pathya-Apathya and Rasayana therapy with their modern relevance.
