Abstract

The body's first organ to react to environmental stimuli is the skin. In Ayurveda, every skin condition has been classified under the Kushtha category. It is said that Vicharchika is a Kshudra kushtha. According to Charaka, Vicharchika is a Kapha-dominant illness with four main characteristics: Bahusrava, Pidika, Shyava, and Kandu. Vicharchika's clinical manifestations frequently lead to its correlation with eczema. Antihistamines and topical steroids are the only effective treatments available in modern medicine. Because of the important qualities of its constituents, Arka Taila can be used extensively in Vicharchika. One of the skin conditions listed in Ayurveda's Kshudra kushta is vitcharchika. In modern science, it is frequently associated with eczema, which is characterised by frequent skin rashes and flare-ups. It is a tridosha janya vyadhi kapha pradhana. The prevalence rate and urgency of this problem are rising daily, particularly among the elderly, as it also negatively impacts the patient's psychosocial well-being. Lichenification, which is characterised by thickening, scaling, and hyperpigmentation, occurs when this becomes chronic. According to modern science, emollients and corticosteroids are the main treatments for eczema. While many people experience relief, recurrence is also quite frequent. Even though Ayurveda has made significant progress in this area by providing a variety of internal and external remedies through shodhana and shamana, they are time-consuming, and further research might be conducted to provide comfort right away.
