Abstract
Eczema (Nār Fārsī) is characterized by itching, lichenification, scaling, oedema and erythema. Corticosteroids are the mainstay of current management of this disease in modern medicine, which is also limited due to its side effects. Many herbal remedies are being used for its treatment. Most of the herbal remedies are considered to be very useful and have fewer side effects. Unani medicines are also being promoted as eczema treatment. Detailed management of the disease is mentioned by Unani scholars in their classical literature. These include number of single herbs and compound herbal formulations as well as dieto-therapy and other regimes. The aim of this study was to systematically review the evidence for this notion and to discuss different aspects of Nār Fārsī. Extensive literature searches were carried out to identify drugs reported to be effective in the treatment of Nār Fārsī. In this review paper author has tried to present few herbal/Unani medicines prevalently used for the treatment of eczema.
