This study was conducted to evaluation of the pathogenesis of shvitra. It was randomized controlled study on 60 number of patients and was divided into three groups named Group A, Group B, Group C. Haridra churna was given to Group A, dose of Haridra churna 6gm twice a day with Luke warm water. Khadira churna was given to Group B, dose of Khadira churna 6gm twice a day with Luke warm water. Aragvadha churna was given to Group C, dose of Aragvadha churna 6gm twice a day with Luke warm water. After completion the treatment it was assessed by the use of subjective criteria like as percentage of area, colour of affected area, colour of hair of affected part, number of patches, maximum size of patches, Mandalotpatti, Shwetavarnta, Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa & Meda vaha srota dushti lakshana, itiching by giving different grades for its severity and objective criteria was used Hb%, ESR, RBS, SGOT, SGPT, LDL.

Introduction:

Ayurveda, the science of life uses natural resources in fulfilling the fundamental objectives i.e. Swasthya Rakshanam and Vyadhi Prashamanam. Skin is like mirror that reflects external and internal pathology, and thus helps in diagnosis of disease.

All the skin diseases in Ayurveda have been described under heading of Kushtha, which are further divided into Maha Kustha and Kshudra Kushtha. However Shvitra has not been counted among various types of Kushtha in Brihattrayi. Later on this has been included under types of Kushtha by various Acharyas. Though Shvitra is mentioned along with other types of Kushtha, but the difference between Shvitra and Kushtha is based on non-secretary and non-infectious nature of disease, involvement of Twaka only, peculiarity of Nidana, Asadhya Lakshana and chronicity.

According to Modern dermatology, Shvitra can be correlated with Vitiligo and Leucoderma.Vitiligo is a common disorder of unknown etiology even today[1].Worldwide prevalence of Vitiligo is observed as 1% of the world population[2]. Based on dermatological out patient record, it is estimated between 3-4% in India, although an incident as high as 8.8% has also been reported[3], irrespective of the races especially to dark skinned people.

There is no definite line of treatment is given in the classics but the Acharyas have described Shvitra in the chapter of Kushtha Chikitsa and mentioned that the treatment should be done like Kushtha. The pathogenesis of Shvitra is not found separately in texts except Harita Samhita. According to Harita Samhita the vitiation of Vata along with the Pitta Dosha spoil the Rakta Dhatu and create the spot of Pandura Varna that is called Shvitra. In this way the specific line of treatment is alone given by Acharya Harita[4]. Acharya Charaka has mentioned that Samshamana therapy can be administered to patient after Sodhana therapy in this disease[5].

Need Of Study:

All previous research works considered that disease must be treated for long time, means shvitra is a disease which takes much more time to get cure. So it is the need of today to find out the treatment which cures to the particular disease shvitra in reasonable period.

In Ayurveda the disease comprise of dosa dusya & srotas as internal factor but there variation of involvement may change the nature as well as treatment protocol of the disease. For example, in case of 'Atisara disease' physician should more concentrate about the involvement of srotas, unlikely for the dhatus (dusyas) or dosha. In various times it is also observed that different physician also choose the different line of treatment with success but their duration of complete remission or rate of cure are different. Samprapti vighatana is known as chikitsa. It may be anywhere of the chain but the time is also a major factor. Especially those which are chronic in nature. So comparative trial among the drugs which are acting on dosas, dhatus and srotas may give a clear-cut ratio of involvement of the internal factors (dosha, dusya & srotas) of a particular disease. Though there are no such drug which only have the particular property as dosha pratyanika etc, but after reviewing the most pointed effect over the particulars pathogenic elements, the above mentioned drugs have been chosen.

Aims and Objectives:

The current research project entitled “Clinical Evaluation The Therapeutic Effect Of Haridra (Curcuma longa Linn.) Churna On Dosha, Khadira (Acacia catechu Linn. f. Willd) Churna On Dhatu And Aragvadha (Cassia fistula Linn.) Churna On Srotas In Shvitra”was undertaken with following aims and objectives-

1. To prepare a treatment protocol for the shvitra.

2. To evaluate the involvement of the vitiated dosha, dhatu and srotas in the particular disease shvitra.

Materials & Methods:

Following materials and methods was employed for conducting the present research project-Ethical Approval- The present research work was

Comparison Of The Effects Of Therapy:

" The effect of therapies, Khadira churna proved more effective to control % of affected area, colour of affected area, colour of hair of affected part, number of patches, maximum size of patches, Mandalotpatti, Shwetavarnta.

" The effect of therapies, Aragvadha churna proved more effective to dhatu dushti lakshana i.e. Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa & Meda dushti.

" The effect of therapies, Haridra churna proved more effective on doshic clinical features like itching etc.

" Overall effect of the therapy on clinical features of Svitra reflect that Dhatu produshana pathological event is more prominent, followed by obstruction of micro channels (dhatu vahi Srotasamsi dushti), though doshas are considered as prime cause for any disease progression but in this particular disease Shvitra it is active up to the event of doshadushya samurcchana. After that some scattered clinical features like itching etc. may govern by morbid doshas and that may prevent though dosha shamaka Group, i.e. Group A- Haridra churna. Otherwise dhatu promoting drugs and drugs those are act through micro channels (Rasayana) having more dominant effect to cure the disease Shvitra. The study was conducted with short duration as a upashayatmaka trial, result just give a clue to make a treatment protocol that may able to cure the disease successfully within a reasonable time.

Probable Mode Of Action Of Drug:

Effect On Dosha:

1) Haridra churna

Hence Shvitra is Tridoshaja vyadhi, Kapha dosha is the most dominant Dosha in shvitra. Haridra being Tikta and Katu Rasa, Katu Vipaka & Ushna Virya and Kapha & Pitta Shamaka . These properties facilitate to improve the doshic status, which is involved in shvitra i.e. chiefly morbid kapha. Apart from these it has also varnya, tvakadosha shamaka, vranapaha, kushtha nashaka properties. So, by guna prabhabha it directly acts in dosha and by dravya prabhava it indirectly helps in samprapti vighatana. Also Haridra consider as dosha pachana in context to Amadosha[6].

Effect On Dushya:

2) Khadira churna

Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Meda and Lasika are the dushyas of Shvitra. Tvaka and Lasika are related with Rasadhatu. Symptoms of Rasavriddha are similar to Kaphavriddha[7]. Langhana is mentioned for treatment of Rasa Dushti. By virtue of Tikta, Kashaya Rasa, and sheeta virya of Khadira, it corrects Pitta. Pitta, specially Pachaka Pitta helps in proper formation of Raktadhatu and thereby combating Rakta Dushti. Pachaka Pitta also controls other Pitta including Bhrajaka Pitta which is also vitiated in Shvitra. Tikta, Kashaya Rasa of Khadira which causes Lekhana of Pravrddha Malarupa Mamsa Dhatu and stop the production of Mala Rupa Kleda (Upahanti Kleda). But the foremost action of Khadira, it is a rasayana, it correct the vitiated dhatus (rasa & rakata etc.) and maintain the pure one. That is why Khadira consider as a best kushthagna drugs and mentioned abundantly in Kushtha chikitsa with different mode of application.

Effect On Srotas:

3) Aragvadha churna

Rasavaha, Raktavaha Srotasa gets vitiated in shvitra. Aaragvadh is having, Madhura rasa, Guru, Snigdha,

Mridu guna, Sheeta virya, Madhura Vipaka. So it helps in pacification of Vayu. Thus it rescues the normal activities of Srotas. Apart from these Aragvadha does Amashodhana which removes Sanga from Srotasa and does Srotomukha Visodhana. Due to this Vata becomes channelized; remove Avarana and helps in Samprapti Vighatana.

Effect On Vyadhi:

Haridra, Khadira & Aragvadha has Kushthaghna property. So it directly effects on Shvitra. According to Ayurveda doctrines, the assimilation of Dosha & Dushya leads to formation of disease only when the Agni is reduced and quality of Dhatu become deteriorated (Shithilakarana). Shvitra is the disease which develops when Rakta, Mamsa, Meda, Lasika become Shithila. Katu Rasa of Khidra maintains the Agni and improves the quality of Rasadi Dhatu and gives strength to them and produces Sthairya. Khadira have Kasaya Rasa which does Ropana & Samdhanakara Karma, thus prevent the disease formation.
