Abstract:
In Unani Medicine psoriasis is described as Taqassur-e-Jild. It is one of the most worst and persistent of skin disorders that affect approximately 11.8% population worldwide and 0.44 to 2.8% population of India. According to Ibn-e-Sina, Taqassur-e-Jild is a Saudavi (black bilious) disease usually but it may be arising due to burning of other Khilt also. Ibn-e- Zohar described regarding Taqaash’shur-e-Jild that when the Khilt-e-Sauda moves towards the skin, then the tabi’at (physis) of the body differs from that skin, therefore the skin neither gets nourishment from that Khilt (humour) nor excretes it, which makes the skin scaly. It is characterized by dryness of the skin and scale formation just like the scale of fish. In conventional Medicine psoriasis is generally treated with multiple steroids with anti-histaminic drugs where as in Unani Medicine treatment is based on multidimensional approach i.e. dietotherapy (Maul Jubn, Kaddu), regimenal therapy (Tareeque, Fasd, Dalk) and pharmacotherapy (oral and local application). There are some drugs which acts as Munzij wa Mushile Sauda and evacuate (istefragh) the morbid material from the body like Bisfayej, Post Halela Zard, Aftimoon, Turbud, Ghariqoon, Sana, etc. This case series study will be new approach for the management of psoriasis which is unresponsive to oral/local corticosteroids and antihistamines.
