ABSTRACT

In Ayurveda, All skin conditions are collectively referred to as Kushta. All of the kushta have been characterized by Ayurveda acharyas as involving all three doshas. However, depending on the predominant dosha involved, the signs, symptoms, and course of treatment will vary. Because Visphotaka's signs and symptoms resemble those of Pemphigus vulgaris, they can be compared with an autoimmune condition called pemphigus vulgaris which causes skin and mucous membranes to blister and erode. It almost always happens in middle age. When a person has pemphigus, their immune system unintentionally creates antibodies against certain skin proteins known as desmogleins. The glue that holds the skin cells together and in place is made up of these proteins. When desmogleins are attacked, skin cells can split from one another, and fluids can build up between the skin layers, causing infection and non-healing blisters. These lesions may develop over the entire body or only occupy a small portion of it. Future systemic problems could result from the allopathic approach to treatment. It is regarded as a raktapittaja condition in Ayurvedic science, and appropriate therapeutic strategies are used. When treating any skin condition, purificatory therapies like purgation, emesis and blood letting in conjunction with inside drugs have been shown to be extremely effective. A case series of a patient presenting with the similar complaints treated by Ayurvedic regimen will be presented in this paper.
