Skin disorders are one of the burning problems of the modern era and Psoriasis is one of them. Eka Kushtha is a subtype of Kushtha, characterised by Aswedanam, Mahavastu, Matsyashaklopamam1. It is a primarily a Kshudra Kushtha yet chronic in nature and difficult to manage due to its involvement of Tridosha (mainly Vata and Kapha) and Dushya (Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa and Lasika Dhatu). The condition manifests as well-demarcated dry, scaly patches on the skin often with itching and bleeding points. In this case report 39-year-old female patient came with complaints of rounded plaques covered with silvery micaceous scales along with intense itching on almost whole of the body parts since 5 years. Both Shodhana (Virechana Karma) and Shamana therapy was prescribed to the patient with the drugs having Purgative, immunomodulatory, Anti-mitotic, Anti-inflammatory, Kushthaghna, Shothahara, Savarnikarana properties. At the end of 90 days of treatment there was complete relief in itching, dryness, scaling of the plaques.
