Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Vyanga is one of the pitta pradhan, raktadhatu pradoshajajanya kshudraroga. It is described by Acharya Sushruta as niruja (painless), Tanu (thin), shyavavarnayukta mandala (bluish black patches) on the face which can be compared with melasma characterised by dark brownish maculae with irregular contour, especially on the face, forehead, temples and more rarely on the nose, eyelids, chin and upper limbs. It is commonly seen in females than in males. Vyanga, though painless considerably affects a person’s psychological and social wellbeing contributing to lower productivity and self-esteem. The specific treatment in Ayurveda is for the treatment of pitta and its proper elimination, which cures the disease at its roots. The trend of using herbs in the field of cosmetology is increasing world-wide. A clinical trial was conducted with a formulation of few Varnya Mahakashaya herbs in Govt. Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Guwahati, Assam. The results were highly encouraging.
