Among them<em> Pama</em> is highly contagious and commonest skin diseases mostly occurring in children. <em>Pama</em> is one of the types of <em>Kshudra Kushtha</em> as the ‘<em>Kshudra</em>’ word itself means not having more importance. <em>Pama</em> can be compared with scabies which is caused by parasite sarcoptes scabei having similar Clinical features. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of <em>Jeerakadya</em> <em>taila</em> and <em>Gandhakadya</em> <em>Taila</em> in the management of <em>Pama</em>. <em>Jeeraka, Rasasindhoor</em> and <em>Katu taila</em> are having <em>Kandughna</em> and <em>Kushthagna </em>properties. It is used for external application only. <em>Gandhakadya Taila</em> contains the drugs <em>Gandhak </em>and<em> Katu taila</em> which are having <em>Kusthaghna</em> and <em>Kandughna, Krumighna</em> properties. It is also used for external application only. The aim of the study is to find out the Aetio- pathogenesis of <em>Pama</em> in children, compare the efficacy of <em>Jeerakadya Taila</em> and <em>Gandhakadya taila</em> on <em>Pama</em> in children, evaluate the efficacy of <em>Jeerakadya Taila</em> externally on <em>Pama, </em>to find out the efficacy of <em>Gandhakadya taila</em> externally on <em>Pama</em>. Minimum 60 diagnosed children with <em>Pama </em>(scabies) were randomly selected for the clinical study and divided into two groups. Group A (30) Group B (30) children were treated with external administration of <em>Jeerakadhya taila, Gandhakadhya taila </em>respectively in the dose of as per requirement depends upon the extension of lesions for a period of 7 days and was applied after bath and when child gets slept. The effect of both therapies on the symptoms of <em>Pama</em> was significant. However, the group B has provided comparatively more significant result, it may be because of <em>Gandhakaday Taila</em> contains <em>Gandhak</em> i.e. Sulphar in it and Sulphar is the best drug for <em>Pama </em>(scabies). Better results were found in group B rather than group A. The study suggests that external application of <em>Gandhakadya Taila</em> is quite suitable therapy than external application of <em>Jeerakadya Taila</em> in <em>Pama</em>.</p>}, number={5}, journal={AYUSHDHARA}, author={Nilesh Deshmukh* and Bhandare Prasanna and Devendra Barsing}, year={2019}, month={Jan.}, pages={1888-1900} }
