This case study intends to evaluate the efficacy of Vaman-Virechan in the management of recurrent psoriasis.A 38 year male presenting with psoriasis with mild arthritis was diagnosed as Ekkustha (kapha-pitta dominance) as per Ayurveda. Vaman-Virechana and Panchtiktaghrit gugglu were given to the patient. Symptoms were assessed with PASI at pre and post therapy along with 6 months follow up. Improvement was observed with PASI score (reduced from 37.7 to 8.7). During follow up period no recurrence observed. Ayurveda shodhan & shaman therapy resulted in effective management of Psoriasis as assessed by validated scales.

“…Virechana refers to therapeutic purgation which is indicated in pitta dosha related disorders [ 16 , 24 ]. Notably, virechana is also indicated in jwara, ama dosha and respiratory ailments like, swasa (asthmatic conditions) and kasa (chronic cough), considering the pathogenesis and site specificity of COVID-19 affliction [ 6 ].…”

The current COVID-19 pandemic brought about by the SARS-CoV-2, a novel β coronavirus is creating intense health havoc globally. Researchers suspect the situation to stay for long in the community, considering this virus’s pathogenesis, high rate transmission and tendency to provoke uncontrolled immune response activation. Immune mechanisms are highly individualistic. We put forward a hypothetical model of p rakruti (Ayurvedic body phenotyping character) based personalized prophylactic-therapeutic strategies aiming at a better immunomodulation and quicker resolution of host immune mechanisms. We propose this model in symptomatic, mild to moderate, COVID-19 diagnosed cases and in cases quarantined for high to low risk primary contact with a positive case. We also suggest a community level personalized Ayurvedic prophylactic-therapeutic strategy based on the DOTS model. Person-centered body purificatory measures ( panchakarma procedures) like therapeutic purgation ( virechana ) and medicated enema ( basti ) are suggested in this hypothetical protocol with justification on evidence-based links between immune responses and prakruti along with specific jwara (fevers of varied origin as per Ayurvedic sciences) and COVID-19 symptomatology. The paper also appraises the importance of pitta dosha/ama dosha in the manifestation of inflammation driven destructive phase of immune responses along with its stage-wise intervention. This hypothetical model intends to open up discussions on significance of prakruti assessment as a predictive marker to screen people who are at risk of succumbing into deteriorating states if infected with COVID-19. It also intends to discuss the predictive personalized medicine measures based on prakruti in yielding individual host immune homeostasis which may positively reduce the chances of untoward events of an aggravated immune responsiveness and subsequent inflammation driven tissue destruction – the candidate causes for COVID-19 related casualties. Testing this model may give insight towards emphasizing personalized host immune coping mechanisms that may prove crucial in any infectious outbreaks in near future too.

“…It has been found in previous studies that Vamana and Virechana cause these changes in the serum electrolyte levels though it is insignificant 10 . Virechana caused increase in serum sodium and serum calcium levels and decrease in serum potassium levels 11 . Therefore ketosis combined with change in serum electrolytes may bring about a cumulative change.…”

Epileptic seizures are caused due to imbalance in the excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters. Serum electrolytes like sodium, potassium and calcium play a key role in maintaining the epileptic threshold. In the quest of effective treatment in epilepsy ketogenic diet has been promising. It is found to increase the inhibitory Gamma amino butyric acid and thus increase the epileptic threshold. In this context Maha Panvhagavya Ghrita recommended in the treatment of Apasmara seems to be the drug of choice.
