Abstract Background: Vicharchika, described under Kushtha in Ayurveda, closely resembles eczema in modern dermatology. The condition is characterized by itching, oozing, eruptions, discoloration, and dryness, often aggravated by Gara Visha (artificial toxins). Classical Ayurvedic texts advocate external therapies such as Shwet Karveeradi Taila and Shwet Karveeradi Lepa for such dermatoses. Objective: To evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of Shwet Karveeradi Tail and Shwet Karveeradi Lepa in patients suffering from Garvishjanya Vicharchika w.s.r. to Eczema. Methodology: A randomized comparative clinical study was conducted on 70 patients, divided equally into two groups. Group A received Shwet Karveeradi Tail application, while Group B received Shwet Karveeradi Lepa. Assessment was done using subjective parameters (Kandu, Pidika, Srava, Rukshata, Vaivarnyata) and objective SCORAD index before and after treatment. Results: Both groups showed statistically highly significant improvement (p < 0.0001). Intergroup comparison showed no significant difference in overall SCORAD score (p = 0.4268), indicating equal efficacy. Symptom-wise analysis revealed better improvement in Rukshata and Vaivarnyata with Tail, while Pidika showed faster relief with Lepa. Conclusion: Both formulations are effective and safe. Shwet Karveeradi Tail is preferable in chronic dry lesions, whereas Shwet Karveeradi Lepa is more effective in acute, oozing conditions.
