Brief Summary  

Psoriasis is a chronic, noncommunicable, painful, disfiguring and disabling disease for which there is no cure and with great negative impact on patients’ quality of life (QoL). It can occur at any age, and is most common in the age group 50–69 . The reported prevalence of psoriasis in countries ranges between 0.09% (2) and 11.4% , making psoriasis a serious global problem. The etiology of psoriasis remains unclear, although there is evidence for genetic predisposition . The role of the immune system in psoriasis causation is also a major topic of research. Although there is a suggestion that psoriasis could be an autoimmune disease, no autoantigen that could be responsible has been defined yet. Psoriasis can also be provoked by external and internal triggers, including mild trauma, sunburn, infections, systemic drugs and stress.

Psoriasis causes great physical, emotional and social burden .QoL, in general, is often significantly impaired . Disfiguration, disability and marked loss of productivity are common challenges for people with psoriasis. Treatment of psoriasis is still based on controlling the symptoms.

Psoriasis is categorized in Ayurveda as a vata-kapha disease. There are many classical Ayurveda formulations indicated for skin diseases and Psoriasis in particular . The Ayurvedic Pharmacopeia of India has laid standards of Ayurvedic formulations appeared in Ayurvedic Formulary of India. Oral administration of PanchatiktaGhrita and local application of NalpamaradiTailaare the formulations commonly used by Ayurvedic physicians in the management of Psoriasis and the pharmacopeial standards are available for both these formulation.

Considering this, the Council has undertaken the validation of these two formulations to generate the evidence of their clinical efficacy and safety in the management of Psoriasis under validation of classical ayurvedic formulations programme under Annual action Plan 2017-18.
