Skin is the largest protective organ of the body. A healthy skin is the mirror image of a good health. It acts as an effective barrier against the entry of diseases. Skin diseases like atopic dermatitis/eczema get a suitable atmosphere especially in developing countries, due of fast life style, industrial and occupational hazard, Unhygienic living condition, Polluted environment, repeated use of chemical additives etc. This type of diseases make a person feels much more humiliation in society because with a presence, no one wants to touch them, forbidden by everyone and beauty and personality loss, which leads to under stress. Due to above mentioned cause this disease was chosen for the study. The study was conducted in 45 clinically diagnosed patients of vicarcikā (atopic dermatitis) and randomly divided in to into three groups. Namely group A, B and C. Each group has 15 patients. Group A: arka taila (external application) as required twice daily for 45 days. Group B: viḍaṁgādi cūrṇa (5gm.) orally, twice daily for 45 days.
