Psoriasis is considerd to be inherited as an autosomal dominant character with irregular penetrate. In present study psoriasis has been taken as Ekakustha, because it is more similar with psoriasis than any other type of Kushtha. Modern medical science treats psoriasis with PUVA and corticosteroids. But the disease recurrence and gives serious side effect like liver, kidney failure, bone marrow depletion.

So, in present study Saptasamoyoga and Darvyadi yamak malahara have been selected as Shamana. Psychological stress is emphasized as one of the major triggering factor in the exacerbation of the disease. For clinical trial total 25 patients were selected.Three groups were made to evaluate the therapy. All the patients were diagnosed & assessed thoroughly on the basis of Ayurvedic classical signs & symptoms.
