(Chapter on Aragvadaha and other medicines)
Abstract:
===Abstract===
While the preceding chapter (Apamargataṇḍuliya) dealt with internal application of therapies in the form of panchakarma, yavagu etc, this chapter deals with the external application of medications. Skin diseases such as kushtha are systemic disorders and considered a maharoga (major disease). They require internal cleansing and detoxification treatments prior to external treatments – and hence, the sequence of the chapters. Without prior internal treatment, local treatments have limited efficacy.

Introduction:
===Introduction===
This chapter includes thirty-two types of formulations in the form of powder or paste (churna/pradeha). The paste is prepared by mixing the powder with oil, ghrita (clarified butter), milk, butter milk or cow urine etc. Occasionally, oil smearing in the affected part is a pre-requisite for such application of powder (avachurṇana and udvartana), so that the drug used gets in contact with the oily surface and enhances the rate of penetration. Different kinds of skin diseases and conditions like shopha (swelling), pain in the abdomen, head and flanks, vatarakta (painful inflammation of joints), etc. are discussed here for external cleansing treatments.

Different kinds of skin diseases and conditions like shopha (swelling), pain in the abdomen, head and flanks, vatarakta (painful inflammation of joints), etc. are discussed here for external cleansing treatments.
The three types of external applications viz. pralepa, pradeha and alepa are mentioned in this chapter. Pralepa is a form which is applied cold, in a thin layer irrespective of its absorbability. It is indicated in vitiation of pitta and rakta dosha. Pardeha is thick and it is generally applied in the form of bolus. It is applied in cold in case of pitta-rakta vitiation and hot in cases of vata-kapha vitiation. Alepa is the medium form which is neither too thin nor too thick. Thus the thickness or thinness of paste application determines its specific effect. Temperature of paste also plays role in determining effect of application. The underlying mechanism may be due to absorption through sweat pores.

The drugs mentioned in verse 3-7 are found effective as kushthaghna (effective in skin diseases), kandughna (effective in pruritus) and arshoghna (effective in hemorrhoids) mahakashaya33. Kuṭaja is indicated in bleeding hemorrhoids while bhallataka is indicated in non-bleeding ones. By adding these two drugs of opposing action, their spectrum of action is enhanced considerably. Their ability to penetrate the affected areas is enhanced further when admixed with gopitta and mustard oil. This combination is particularly effective in treating rectal fistula and hemorrhoids. Sulfur is effective in treating most of the skin diseases and neem is a rich source of sulfur. Minerals like manahshila, kasisa and praval are used commonly for treating skin diseases because of their richness in sulfur. In psoriasis there is a deficiency of fatty acids, sulfur and immunoglobulins in the skin. Oil, ghrita, milk, neem (Azadirachta Indica) and amrita (Tenospora cordifolia) preparations help in correcting those deficiencies. The use of atasi (flax) poultice has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect in vata vyadhi. amrita (Tinospora cordifolia) and yashtimadhu (liquorice) have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and are used for vatarakta. Vesavara and dashamoola are used as analgesics. Dashamoola has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antiplatelet properties. Shirisha (Albizia lebbeck) is indicated as the best drug for treating dermal toxicity.
