Abstract :
All skin diseases in Ayurveda have been
considered under the headings of kushta. Vipadika is one
of the types of the Kshudrakushtha which involves VataKapha dosha predominantly as stated by acharya
Charaka. It is characterized by Sphutanam (fissures)
either in palms or soles or in both with Theevra vedana
(severe pain). Looking from the modern point of view it
can be correlated with Palmoplantar psoriasis. In the
present case, A 30 years old male patient suffering from
cracks in the palm, dryness, and intermittent itching for 2
years which increased from the last 6 months was treated
with shodhan (virechana karma) and shaman chikitsa
showed a significant result. Shodhana helps remove the
root cause of the disease and prevent a recurrence.
