Abstract

ABCD, a horrify disease for the patient as well as for others who visit the patient, put the patient in mental stress also by repeated incidences. Anti allergic drugs and Steroids are also not very much helpful for the chronic patients. Such types of patients always search for an alternative treatment remedy to get rid of this unpleasant look. So an effort was made to implement ayurvedic principle by Panchakarma therapy on request of a puzzled patient and the result was encouraging.
