It is listed as among the <em>“Ashta Mahagada”. </em>Eczema is the most prevalent skin condition with societal repercussions. Up to 20% of children and up to 3% of adults might have eczema, and existing data reveal that it is becoming more common, especially in developing nations. The clinical picture of eczema resembles with <em>Vicharchika </em>– a variant of <em>Kshudra Kustha</em> that Ayurvedic dermatologists frequently meet and is marked by the symptoms of <em>Kandu</em> (itching), <em>Srava</em> (discharge), <em>Pidaka</em> (vesicles), and <em>Shyava</em> <em>varna</em> (discoloration). <strong>Aim: </strong>to assess how <em>Samshodhana</em> and <em>Samshamana Karma</em> contribute to the treatment of <em>Vicharchika</em> w.s.r. to eczema. <strong>Material &amp; Method:</strong> A 66 years old male patient came to NIA OPD no 25 on 06/04/2022 with complaints of <em>Atikandu </em>(severe itching with thick edematous skin) on forearms, forehead and anterior to neck region having cracks with discharge for 5 years. He took contemporary medicines for the problem but did not get significant relief. <strong>Intervention:</strong> We started <em>Aragvadha Patra lepa </em>and <em>Panchtikta Ghrit Pana </em>followed by <em>Virechana Karma </em>by giving <em>Trivrita Avaleha. </em>Marked relief was found in sign &amp; symptoms within 7 days and cured within 21 days of treatment. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Study concluded that the above Ayurvedic treatment can prove to be an effective alternate management in eczema with proper diet and regimen.</p>}, number={5}, journal={AYUSHDHARA}, author={Anita Sharma and Maya and Dinesh Kumar Kumawat and Bindu Kumawat}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={64-68} }
