Vipādikā displays very similar clinical
features of Plantar Psoriasis in modern medicine. This
case report deals with a male patient of 43 years who
attended with the complaints of cracks, thickness of the
skin on both soles with severe pain for 02 years. All the
biochemical findings were within normal limits. On the
basis of clinical history and examination the condition
was diagnosed as Vipādikā. The Patient was treated with
Samana Cikitsā including decoction of Patola Katuka,
Shārivān Thrivrutān, Laghu Manjishta, Sukumāra
Churna, Kaishora Guggulu, Panchatikta Guggulu and
Tiladilepa along with proper dietary and life style
modifications. Changes in subjective and objective
parameters were observed during the treatments and
follow up period. By the end of one and half months of
treatments, all the symptoms have relieved completely.
In the follow up of two months, patient had no
recurrence of previous patches, also no new patches
developed on body. This case study reveals that the
administration of selective Ayurveda treatment protocol
proves the effectiveness in the management of Vipādikā
devoid of adverse effects.
