Though categorized as a Kshudra Kushta, it often presents with persistent and distressing symptoms that greatly impair an individual’s comfort and self-esteem. According to Ayurveda, Kushta arises from the vitiation of Tridosha primarily Vata and Kapha along with the involvement of Dushyas such as Twak, Rakta, Mamsa, and Lasika. Acharya Charaka, in Charaka Samhita, has elaborated the Nidana of Kushta in detail, emphasizing the multifactorial origin involving Mityaahara-Vihara and Manasika Bhava’s.The discussion highlights the Samprapti initiated by Dosha-Dushya Samurchchana and the importance of Nidana Parivarjana in prevention and management.
