Clinical Study of Somaraj Curna (vernonia Anthalmintica) and Nimbadi Oil on Vicarcika Eczema

The present clinical study have been conducted to assess the therapeutic value of known indigenous drug in different types of eczema. But the eczema is a very controversial disease in the modern dermatology, as eczema is defined by ancient disease and very often synonymously told as dermatitis. In real sense it does not indicate any specific disease, only it signifies the inflammatory condition of the skin. In Ayurveda the description of vicarcika are much identical to modern eczema, which are characterised by popular blackish coloured lesion with itching and profuse discharge or dry. It is described in the chapter of ksudra kustha. We selected the cases for this study those suffered from different types of Vicarcika (eczematous lesion).
