Dadru is a variety of Kushta with Rasa, Rakta, Mamsadhatu involvement. Its aetiology includes Aharaja, Viharaja, Chikithsaapacharaja, Upasargaja and Krimija factors. Tinea infection is analogues to Dadru in contemporary science. Being a Twak vikara, Bahirparimarjana chikitsa like Alepadi treatments plays an important role in the treatment of Dadrukushta . Taila is applied as Alepa on the affected part. The present study was conducted on 40 diagnosed subjects of Dadrukushta who were randomly allocated with 20 each in two groups. Tulasyadi taila was taken for one group which was compared against widely used clinical formulation Chakramarda taila taken as standard for local application in another group. The application was done for 14 days, and the data was collected from the subjects at baseline, 7 th day (during treatment), 14 th day (after treatment) and 21 st day (followup). The assessment was based on the KASI method of grading and perimeter of the lesion. The results of the study showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the effect of Tulasyadi taila and Chakramardataila in Dadru kushta .
