Ayurveda is a science of life and is aiming towards maintaining the health of the healthy individuals as well as to cure the illness of the diseased. Skin manifestations are broadly dealt in the chapter of kushta chikitsa. Out of 18 varieties of kushta explained in the classics, maha kushta and kshudra kushta were the two distinct types mentioned in the classics. Vaipadika kushta is one of the varieties of kshudra kushta mentioned in Charaka Samhita. This disease in current system of medicine has the close resemblance with Plantar Psoriasis2. The present disease is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of unknown aetiology affecting 1-2 percentage of the population1. With this background, reporting a case study of 11-year-old patient complaining of skin lesions on the plantar aspect of both foot which was associated with pain while walking. With this complaint he approached our hospital for panchakarma treatment. Virechana karma is the second purificatory method in the sequence of panchakarma, chiefly aimed at morbid pitta dosha elimination. (virechanam pittaharanam shreshtam) and is also said to be beneficial in tridosha vitiation. Hence this study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of virechana karma in vaipadika kushta.
