        abstract = {Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory, and immune-mediated proliferative skin disorder. Any change in skin color or texture can significantly affect a patient both mentally and physically. In psoriasis, scaling and itching of papulosquamous lesions disturb the daily routine and quality of life.According to Ayurveda, all types of skin disorders are classified under the umbrella of Kushtha. In Charaka Samhita, Eka Kushtha is described as a condition involving vitiation of Vata and Kapha doshas. In the present study, Psoriasis is clinically correlated with Eka Kushtha, as the symptoms described by Acharya Charaka closely resembles those of psoriasis.A 28-year-old male patient presented with complaints of severe itching, scaling, and redness on the face. He was treated with Gandhaka Rasayana, Arogyavardhini Vati, pancha tikta grit , mandooka parani powder, guduchi powder (internal administration), and coconut oil for local application. Significant improvement was observed in the parameters of Kandu (itching) and Raga (redness).},
