Vipadika is a common disorder of skin which affects the people irrespective of age and sex. It is not limited to any particular class in the society. It can be co-related to palmo-plantar psoriasis. Vipadika manifests in both pani and pada or alone in either pani or pada only. Due to its severity and chronicity, it hampers the daily activities of an individual. It can also be considered as a cosmetic problem in the society. Vipadika is mentioned as a kshudra kustha as well as it is one of the vataja nanatmaja vikara. Its signs and symptoms according to charaka are pani-pada sphutana and teevra vedana. Gandhakadhya malahara is mentioned in the text of Rasa tarangini in the context of kustha for chikitsa of vipadika. Looking at the ingredients and its action, we can consider it under the malahara kalpana. The main aim was to know the efficacy of Gandhakadhya malahara. Hence it was compared with a proven drug i.e., Sarjarasadi Lepa which is mentioned in the text of Bhaishajya Ratnavali under kushta chikitsa. Both of these are safe, economical, easy to use and suitable for the fast life of the people who have no time to spend for shodhana therapy. Hence the present work was undertaken as; “A Randamized Comparative Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Gandhakadhya malahara over Sarjarasadi lepa along with Arogyavardhini vati in the Management of Vipadika w.s.r to palmo-plantar psoriasis.” Materials and Methods: A total of 40 Patients were selected from OPD and IPD of Department of Kayachikitsa, BLDEA’S AVS Ayurveda Mahavidhyalaya and Hospital Vijayapura after fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were randomly divided into 2 groups of 20 each, Group A (Gandhakadhya malahara along with Arogyavardhini vati) and Group B (Sarjarasadi lepa along with Arogyavardhini vati).
