Abstract:

Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disease characterized by red scaly patches over the skin. Broadly all the diseases of skin come under the umbrella of kustha. In ayurvedic text, Charaka samhita, kustha has been beautifully explained. Psoriasis is an immune mediated disease which mistakenly sends out faulty signals for a normal skin assuming it as a pathogen which causes overproduction of new skin cells. Fortunately, it is a non-contagious inflammatory skin disease. Psychological stress is one of the major triggering factors in the exacerbation of the disease. Ekkustha has similar features as li

Ayurveda has a vast and in-depth explanation regarding the physiology, anatomy, and pathological manifestations of skin and considers viruddha ahara (incompatible foods) as one of the major causes of different twak rogas (skin diseases). All skin diseases under the sunshade of the Kustha, in other words, can be listed as “Ayurvedic dermatology” in Ayurveda. The pathology of all the Kushta owned by tridosha and, hence, Vicharchika can be explained similarly. Vicharchika has a more significant correlation with eczema/dermatitis in modern science.

Background: Ayurveda emphasizes Ahara (diet) as a fundamental pillar of health, and Viruddha Ahara (incompatible diet) is recognized as a major etiological factor in various diseases, including Kustha Roga (skin diseases). The improper combination of food substances disturbs Tridosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), weakens Agni (digestive fire), and leads to Ama (toxins), which in turn disrupt the immune system and contribute to hypersensitivity reactions. Objective: This study aims to critically evaluate the role of Viruddha Ahara in the pathogenesis of Kustha Roga, focusing on the impact of Virya Viru
