Psoriasis is a multifactorial immunologic disease; both genetic (e.g., human leukocyte antigen [HLA] types) and environmental factors contribute to risk. The clinical subtypes are defined by pattern of involvement and severity. Treatment is aimed at preventing the release or actions of inflammatory mediators. Depending upon the disease severity, NSAIDS, immunosuppressive agents such as cyclosporin, and TNF antagonists are used1. But all those treatment are associated with adverse effects. Hence, Ayurveda medicines play a major role in this regard. Rasayanas working like immunomodulatory drugs plays a major role in treating disease like Psoriasis. Few of such Rasayana drugs acting on skin disorders are Bhringaraja, tuvaraka, khadira, yashtimadhu etc. Bhringaraja having kushtahara1, kanthi kara properties, vatakaphahara2 nature helps in treating Ekakushta(psoriasis). Hence a psoriasis case is taken up and is managed with Bhringaraja and is proved to be effective in reducing the symptoms of Psoriasis.
