Management Of Psoriasis With Nimbidin
Psoriasis is a common, chronic, occasionally acute inflammatory disease of the skin characterized by well defined erythematous plaques of varying size. Extensive research studies are going on to ascertain whether psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, and that many of the modern medicines available at present have immune suppressive action. Clinical research studies were conducted at Regional Research Institute (DR) Trivandrum. A number of preparations/formulations have been studied.
Clinical trial
A combination of internal administration of Nimbidin, an isolate from Neem seed oil and Lajjalukeram, as external applications have been taken for trial.
Drug administration
1. Nimbidin 200 mg. capsules twice daily for 60 days
2. Lajjalukera (external application) q.s. for 60 days
Conclusion
Clinical trial has been conducted on 362 patients and about 60% of the patients have shown good control as evidenced by the relief of the signs and symptoms of the disease and no repulse was noticed.

| Abstract: Psoriasis is a common skin disease affecting about 1-2% of general population. The word psoriasis is derived from the Greek word “Psora” and “Iasis”. Psora means Itch or scale and lasis means condition. Acharya Charak has described the involvement of Vata and Kapha in Ekkushtha. In the present study Ekkushta is compared with psoriasis due to its maximum resemblance with it. The trial drugs in the present study are Pathyadhya Vatak and Vidangadi Lepa which have not been studied on Psoriasis till date as per our Knowledge. The effect of Placebo was also assessed to understand the Psychosomatic nature of the disease. The results of combination of Pathyadaya Vatak and Vidangadi lepa were highly encouraging. | |
