AyurVAID treatment for Atopic Dermatitis, Primary dysmenorrhoes

A 24 year old female patient walked into Apollo AyurVAID with the complaints of blackish discolouration & scaly skin lesions which was associated with mild itching predominantly over upper limbs, trunk and lower limbs since the past 3 years.It was also accompanied by Scaly lesion with exfoliation over the scalp since the last 1 year.

In view of her symptoms and condition, Apollo AyurVAID decided to use the treatment of ‘Rakta dhatugata vatakaphaja twak vikara and Udavartini’ for a period of 15 days along with a duration of follow up that would last for three months.

The medical strategy adopted included:

• Rookshana with internal medication on OPD basis was administered.
• Shodana was planned as the patient was presented with the Bahudosa lakshanas
• Snehapana with Vata-kaphahara (dosha pratyaneeka) & Vyadhi Pratyaneeka Ghrita.
• Abhyanga and Mrdu Swedana in order to bring the shakagata dosha to koshta.
• Virechana to expel the Dosas from Koshta.
• Samsarjana krama to be followed as per the Shuddi.
• Bahya Samana Chikitsa in the form of Takra Dhara.

The treatment was a success and at the time of discharge the discolouration and exfoliation had considerably reduced to about 85%.Improvement in the existing condition was expected by the follow-up treatment regimen.
