Brief Summary   Kitibha (Psoriasis) is a challenging disease with its chronic and relapsing nature. Many herbal and herbomineral preparations are given in the literature and there mechanism of action is also explained on the basis of Ayurvedic  terminology. The classical drugs used for treating  Kitibha (psoriasis) are needed to be evaluated clinically along with cellular level to understand the probable mode of action of drug in the patient. Also the safety and efficacy of the drug is needed to be evaluated.  So keeping in mind these points the study is planned to establish the safe, cost effective,  clinically effective shaman chikitsa.
