  • Abstract:
  • Vicharchika, classified under Kshudra Kustha in Ayurvedic literature, is a skin ailment driven by Dosha imbalance, primarily Kapha dominance. In modern medical terms, it aligns closely with weeping eczema, a form of dermatitis involving inflamed and oozing skin. This clinical case highlights the Ayurvedic treatment of a 42-year-old female patient with chronic weeping eczema, presenting with symptoms such as erythema, itching, swelling, blistering, fluid discharge, and occasional bleeding.Following a comprehensive Ayurvedic protocol, the treatment included herbal medications (Aushadhi), dietary corrections (Pathya), and daily routine modifications (Vihara) aimed at Dosha equilibrium. Over a period of three months, she was administered classical interventions like Prachchhana Karma (bloodletting therapy), alongside internal medications such as Mahamanjishtadi Kwatha, Sarivadyasava, Nimbadi Guggulu, Panchatikta Ghrita Guggulu, and Haridra Khanda. Follow-up photographs supported the clinical recovery. Minimal recurrence was noted during the post-treatment observation period. This case underscores the promising role of Ayurveda in treating chronic skin disorders through natural and individualized approaches.
