Vicharchika, categorized under Kshudra Kustha in Ayurveda, is a skin disorder arising from an imbalance of the Doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), with a significant predominance of Kapha Dosha. In modern medical terms, Vicharchika is often associated with eczema, particularly weeping eczema. This case study presents the Ayurvedic treatment of a 54-year-old male patient with chronic weeping eczema, characterized by symptoms such as erythema, edema, pruritus, vesiculation, exudation, and hemorrhage. The treatment adhered to classical Ayurvedic principles, incorporating herbal remedies (Aushadhi), dietary modifications (Pathya), and lifestyle changes (Vihara) to balance the Doshas. Over three months, the patient received Ayurvedic treatments, including topical herbal applications, oral medications, and therapeutic procedures (Samskara). These included Prachhan Karma (bloodletting therapy) and internal medications such as Guduchyadi Kashaya, Khadirarishta, Gandhak Rasayan, Arogyavardhini Vati, and Amruta Satva. The regimen led to a significant reduction in symptoms, as documented by follow-up photographs. The patient exhibited marked improvement, with minimal recurrence of symptoms during the follow-up period. The patient's skin lesions showed gradual healing, with notable reductions in erythema, pruritus, and swelling. This case underscores the effectiveness of Ayurvedic treatments in managing chronic skin conditions like Vicharchika, highlighting the importance of a holistic approach to achieving long-term relief and overall health.
