INTRODUCTION
• Skin is the largest organ of the body Which act as Barriers between the internal tissue
and the external environment. Skin is the Sthana for Sparshanedriya. There is an
inseparable relation between skin and Manas due to their Sarva Indriya Vyapakatva,
So any problem to the Sparshanendriya it also effects the Manas.
•The word Kushta is a broad term used for almost all skin disorders. Acharya Sushruta
given the term Twakāmaya as synonyms of Kushta. Kushta is one among the
Deergakalina Vyadhi and also one of the Ashta Mahagada, Santarpanajanya and
Raktapradoshaja vikara. Kushta is difficult to cure, so it is called Dushchikitsa.
Acharya Sushruta considered Kushta as the Aupasargika roga (contagious disease)
which may spread by contact.
3
•Shodhana karma helps in removal of Bahudosha, Raktapradoshaja vikara and Also
there is mentioned lots of Shamana aushadhi for Kushta but Shodhana has great
importance as it evacuate the Prakupita Doshas from the body.
•शोधनं यत् कुपितान् दोषान् पनिःसाययबप िः रोगप्रशमनं करोपत। (इन्दु.अ.सं.सू. 1/38)
•The word Shodhana is derived from the Dhatus Sudh - It means Cleansing (शब्दकल्िद्रुम)
•The Procedure for evacuation of Prakupita doshas from the body for the purification of
Roga Upashamana is known as Shodhana.
•Hence this study was undertaken with an aim to understand the effectiveness of Shodhana
karma in Kushta Chikitsa.

VYUTPATTI
•कुष् + पन कुषीपत। इपत क्थन्। कुष्ठं। (शब्दकल्िद्रुम)
कुष् पनष्कषे + पन कुषीपत। इपत क्थन्। कुष्ठं। (शब्दकल्िद्रुम)
The word ‘Kushta’ is derived from ‘Kuş nişkarşane’ dhātu by adding ‘Kthan’ pratyaya. The
word ‘Kus’ means to extract or to destroy or to tear or to draw out or to deform and the word
‘Kthan’ means certainty. Hence, the word ‘Kushta’ means that which destroys with certainty.
NIRUKTI AND PARIBHASHA
•कुष्ठं-कुष्णापत शरीरस्य शोपणतं पिकु�ते इपत। (शब्दकल्िद्रुम)
The vitiated Rakta leads to destruction of body, so it is called Kushta.
5
•कालेनोिेपितं यस्मात्सिं कुष्णापत तद्विुिः। (अ.हृ.पन. 14/4)
• That which disfigures the body in the course of time is called Kuşhta.
•त्िचिः कुियपन्त िैिर्णयय दुष्ािः कुष्ठमुशपन्त तत्। (अ.हृ.पन. 14/3)
•That which produces discoloration of the Tvak (skin) is known as Kuşhta.
•कुष्णापत तस्मात्तत् कुष्ठपमत्युच्यते। (अ�.अ.हृ.पन. 14/4)
•That which destroys the body is called Kushta
•त्िचागिः सियपत रोगदोषिः कुष्ठेपत संज्ञा प्रिदपन्त धीरािः ।। ( ा.सं.तृ. 39/2)
•The aggravated Doşha gets located in the skin and spreads throughout the body, which is called
Kuşhta by an intelligent physician.

BHEDA
•न च पकपचचदपस्त कुष्ठमेकदोषप्रकोिपनपमत्तम्, अपस्त तु खलु समानप्रकृतीनामपि कुष्ठनां सप्तपिधोऽष्ा-
दोषांशांशपिकल्िानुबन्धस्थानपिभागेनिेदनािणयसंस्थानप्रभािनामपचपकपत्सतपिशेषिः । स दशपिधोऽिररसङ््येयपिधोिाभिपत। दोषा प
पिकल्िनैपियकल््यमानापिकल्ियपन्तपिकारान्, अन्यत्रा- साध्यभािात् …… (च. पन. 5/4)
•No Kushta manifests due to vitiation of only one Dosha. Though all the Kushta same causative
factors, there is much difference in Vedana (pain). Varta Samsthana (site), Prabhāva (effect).
Nama (name) and Chikitsa (treatment) due to variation in Doshamshāmšha (degree or stage of
doshas). Anubandha doshas (their association) Sthana (location). Hence, it is said to be of
Saptavidha (seven types). Ashtadasha (eighteen types) or Aparisankhya (innumerable) types of
Kushta. Depending upon the permutation and combination of Doshas, variation in types of
diseases occurs except incurable conditions.

DISCUSSION
•Kushta is a condition in which the vitiated doshas combine with Sapta dushyas of the body to
produce the symptoms. All acharyas have emphasized on Shodhana therapy in the management of
Kushta.
•The therapy which expels out the morbid doshas from the body is known as Shodhana, By nature,
Kushta is difficult to cure disease, so it is called ‘Dushchikitsya’ but by the application of
shodhana therapy, cure of the diseases becomes easier due to removal of the root cause, hence
shodhana has great importance in treating Kushta (Bahudosha avastha).
•Acharya Charaka mentioned as Saptakodravya sangraha which is responsible for development
of Kushta – Vata, Pitta, Kapha, Twak, Rakta, Mamsa, Lasika. When these factors gets vitiated
then they cause Kushta.
•Acharya Sushruta mentioned Kushta as Kulaja, Aupasargika, Krimija
Kulaja- Acharya Sushruta mentioned it as Adibala pravrutta vyadhi
Aupasargika- Mentioned Kushta as Aupasargika vyadhi
Krimija- Mentioned Krimi as a nidana for Kushta.

•Discussion on Nidana
Nidanas are divided into Aaharaja, Viharaja, Manasika and Papakarma is the specific
cause.
•Poorvaroopa.
•Sparshagnatwa, Aswedana, Atiswedana, Vaivarnya, Kota, Kandu, Toda, Daha, Shota,
Srava etc are prime lakshanas.
•For example- Aswedana is found is Ekakushta,
•Sparshagnatwa is found in Charmadala kushta
•Bahusrava is found in Vicharchika
•Tivra vedhana in Kapala, Vipadika, Kakana
•Parusha in Kapala, Kitibha kushta
•Kandu in Dadru

Importance of Shodhana
oएिां विशुद्ध कर्ोष्ठनय कर्ायास्ग्नणरशभिधिते। व्याध्योश्चोपशाम्यांनत प्रकर्ृनतश्चानुितिते ॥
इस्न्द्रयाणि मनोबुद्धध िििश्चानयप्रसीदनत। बलां पुस्ष्टरप्यश्च िृेताचानय जायते ॥
जराां कर्ृष्रेि लभते धचरांजीि्यनामयुः ॥ (च.सू. 16/17-19)
oCharaka while elaborating the effects of Samshodhana says that it enhances Kayagni,
Upashamana of vyadhi & health returns to normal.
oIndriya, Manas, Buddhi, Varnas become clear & acquires bala, pusthi, vrishata, aging is retarded
& lives a long life.
•दोेाुः कर्दधचत कर्ुप्यस्न्त स्जता लांघनां पाचनेुः । स्जता सांशोधनैयि तु न तेेाां पुनरुध्िुः ॥
दोेािाां च द्रुमािाां च मूलेऽनुपहते सनत। रोगािाां प्रसिानाां च गतानामागनतभुििा।। (च.सू.16/20-21
The doshas which have been mitigated by Langhana and Pachana are likely to aggravate once
again. But those doshas treated by Shodhana therapy will never increase again.
51
•All the three types of treatment viz, Daivavyapashraya chikitsa, Yuktivyapashraya chikitsa and
Satwavajaya chikitsa are to be followed while treating Kushta. While applying Yukti
vyapashraya chikitsa preferably start with any form of Apatarpana chikitsa (ex- Rukshana)
because Kushta is Santharpanottaha vikara. This should be followed by Vyadhi pratyanika
chikitsa where in-
•Ghritapana is indicated in Vata pradhana Kushta, Virechana and Raktamokshana indicated in
Pitta pradhana kushta, Vamana is indicated in Kapha pradhana kushta.
•Daivavyapashraya chikitsa
•व्रतदमयमसेिा ्यागशीलाशभयोगो द्विजसुरगुरुपूजा सििसत्त्िेेु मैिी।
शशिशशिसुतताराभानकर्राराधनानन प्रकर्र्टतमलपापां कर्ुष्ठमुन्मूलयस्न्त।। (अ.हृ.धच. 19/98)
52
•Shodhana in kushta
•All types of kushta are caused due to aggrevation of all Tridosha. In this there is one or the
other dosha will be predominant.
•The disease has a tendency to reoccur because the disease tends to spread deep into the
Dhatus and contaminate them and may cause complications.
•If the Person is suffering from Kushta who has excessive vitiation of dosha should be given
eliminative therapies repeatedly since there will be chance of recurrence, While
administering these eliminative therapies, excessive elimination of morbid factors may
weaken the patients and Vayu which become aggravated might cause danger to the life. So
wise physician should eliminate morbid dosha in small quantities repeatedly by accessing
the strength of the person each time.
53
•Acharya Sushruta and Acharya Vagbhata has mentioned importance of Samshodana in
Kushta by mentioning Vamana once in 15 day, Virechana once a month, Raktamokshana
once in 6 month & Nasya after 3 days in chikitsa.
•The reason behind Pakshat pakshat vamana and masat masat virechana may be based on the
formation of Kleda. If Kleda is formed due to kapha, its accumulation is faster because of
Snigdha, Picchila and Sandra guna. Thus it has to be removed frequently, so vamana is
advised once in 15 days.
•Whereas the Kleda accumulating on the account of Pitta due to its upasneha, drava and
visraguna is relatively a slow process, so virechana is prescribed once a month.
•Rakta is the Ashraya for pitta, when dushita rakta is removed the skin gets nourished by the
shudda rakta and it helps in treatment of kushta.
54
❖Vamana karma-in Kapha pradhana:
If doshas located in the upper part of the body then Vamana should be given.
Ex- Mandala and Vicharchika kushta ( Mainly Kapha pradhana kushta)
❖Virechana karma- in Pittapradhana:
• Most of the Kushta comes under the heading of Raktapradoshaja vyadhi.
•Pitta is the mala of Rakta. So there is avinabhava sambandha between rakta and pitta. When
excessive amount of pitta is expelled out from the body it helps to purify the rakta also, and
cures the Raktapradoshaja vikara like Kushta.
55
•Virechana karma has got specific action on sapthadravyas (rasa, rakta, lasika, udaka, kapha,
pitta etc) and on vata also, which are prime factors in causation of skin disorders. Hence
virechana is the best shodhana karma in pitta pradhana kushta and to prevent reoccurrences.
•Virechana helps in regulating sodium and potassium exchange. This indirectly regulates agni
and there will be no ama production. In ama where agni is in manda condition, malabhaga is
more than saarabhaga. Similarly in raktadushti conditions malaroopa pitta gets increased in
the body, which is located in liver and gallbladder. To eliminate such malaroopa pitta,
virechana karma is the only best line of treatment. Ex- Udumbara kushta
56
❖Basti-
•According to Acharya Charaka and Acharya Sushruta Basti karma is directly contraindicated
because it aggravates Kushta roga. If there is excess of vata after the administration of
Virechana and Asthapana Basti and if the patient is suitable, Anuvasana Basti can be given.
❖Raktamokshana-
In pitta pradhana kushta, Raktamokshana should be done whereas, in less acute stage
pracchan should be done and in more acute stage of kushta Siravyadha should be done.

CONCLUSION
•Shodhana is essential for Bahu doshavastha other than trying to eliminate it all at once
since it weakens the patients.
•Selection of Chikitsa for kushta depends upon the predominant of doshas and on
Yuktivyapashraya chikitsa.
•If Doshas are in Alpa Avastha we can treat it with Shamana line of treatment and along
with Pathyapathya palana.
