Dermititis is being used as synonym of eczema by most of the dematologist. These are the kind of non-contagious inflammation of the skin characterized by erythema, Scaling, edema, vesiculation and oozing. The disease <em>Vicharchika</em> to a greater extent resembles eczema/dermatitis. Therefore the eczematous dermatitis can be included in study of <em>Vicharchika. Vicharchika</em> can be correlated with eczema in the sequence. The involvement of <em>Vata </em>results in dry, blackish lesion of eczema, itching in those affected areas is due to <em>Kapha </em>and <em>Pitta</em> is responsible for <em>Srava</em>. Though, the disease <em>Vicharchika</em> is not life threatening, it makes the patient worried due to its appearance, severe itching, disturbing routine and its nature susceptible to be chronic. In classical texts of Ayurveda Acharyas emphasizes <em>Shodhana</em> and <em>Shamana</em> therapy as the line of treatment at various contexts. Among the <em>Shamana karma,</em> Acharya chakradutta has advocated <em>Lepana karma </em>and <em>Prithunimbapanchaka churna</em> orally by (<em>Sahasrayoga</em> <em>churna</em> <em>prakarana</em>) for <em>Vicharchika.</em> Hence, purpose of the study aimed to evaluate efficacy of <em>Mulakabeejadilepa </em>and<em> Prithunimba panchaka churna</em> in <em>Vicharchika.</em> A case of 9yr old child, presented with <em>Kandu, Pitika, Srava, Vivarnata, Vedana </em>etc <em>Lakshanas </em>of <em>Vicharchika</em> on the back of his neck since one year, was given <em>Mulakabeejadilepa as</em> external application and <em>Vati</em> prepared with <em>Prithunimbapanchaka churna</em> 250mg TID for 30 days, and Marked improvement was observed in the symptoms of <em>Vicharchika.</em></p> ER -
