Efficacy of Chaturangulparnadi Lepa in Management of Vicharchika: A Comprehensive Review

Author(s) Dr. Shivam Gajanan Sarode, Prof. Dr. Neelam Subhash Valhekar

Abstract Vicharchika is one of the common type of Kshudra Kushtha described in Ayurveda, characterized by symptoms such as Kandu (itching), Pidika (eruptions), Shyava varna (discoloration), Rukshata (dryness), and Srava (discharge). It can be correlated with eczema in contemporary medicine due to its chronic relapsing nature and significant impact on quality of life. Ayurvedic management emphasizes Shodhana and Shamana therapies along with local applications for symptomatic relief. Among these, Chaturangulparnadi Lepa mentioned in Gadanigraha is considered beneficial in the management of Vicharchika. The formulation comprises patra churna of Aaragwadh (Cassia fistula), Kakamachi (Solanum nigrum), and Karveer (Nerium indicum) is mixed with Takra for external application. The ingredients of Chaturangulparnadi Lepa possess Kandughna, Kushthaghna, Krimighna, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and wound-healing properties, which may help alleviate the pathological manifestations of Vicharchika. Takra acts as a Yogavahi and enhances the therapeutic efficacy of the formulation while reducing Kapha and Kleda. This comprehensive review aims to analyze the classical references, pharmacological actions, and therapeutic potential of Chaturangulparnadi Lepa in the management of Vicharchika. The study highlights the scope of integrating traditional Ayurvedic formulations as safe and cost-effective approaches in chronic dermatological conditions.
Keywords Vicharchika, Chaturangulparnadi Lepa, Kshudra Kushtha, Eczema, Aaragwadh, Kakamachi, Karveer, Takra, Ayurveda.
