        abstract = {Palmoplantar psoriasis is a chronic, skin disorder that may lead to significant functional impairment. It is a localized form of psoriasis that affects only the palms and soles, manifesting with symptoms such as scaling, pustule formation, fissuring, erythema, itching, and pain. In Ayurveda, all skin disorders are collectively classified under the broad category of Kushtha. Palmoplantar psoriasis, in particular, can be correlated with Vipadika, one of the Kshudra Kushtha conditions, on the basis of its clinical presentation.
Method
A 45-year-old male patient presented with complaints of painful cracks,itching,sraava(oozing) and scaling over the palms persisting for the past one year. The condition was managed through Shamana Chikitsa (palliative treatment) for a duration of two months. The therapeutic regimen included internal administration of Haridra Khanda, Kaishora Guggulu, Gandhaka Rasayana, Vyadhi Harana Rasayana, Ashtamurti Rasayana, Arogyavardhini Vati, and Khadirarishta. For external application, Jatyadi Taila was prescribed.
Result
After two months of Shamana Chikitsa, the cracks present over the palms showed complete healing, along with marked reduction in scaling and associated discomfort.
Conclusion
The present case demonstrates that Ayurvedic medications, administered through Shamana Chikitsa, can effectively promote healing in palmoplantar psoriasis and provide symptomatic relief. This suggests that Ayurvedic management may serve as a promising therapeutic approach for such chronic skin conditions.},
