Summary of article contents:

Mukhadushika is one of the common cosmetic issues preferably found in the young generation in the age group between 12 to 25 years. Acharya Sushruta has described Yuvan Pidika as an eruption like Shalmali Kantaka on the face of young men or women. This disease has been described under Kshudraroga by many Acharyas . In Mukhadushika vitiation of Kapha , Vata and Rakta Doshas are found which give rise to symptoms like swelling, pain, redness and itching in the face. In modern medical science, Yuvanpidika can be correlated with Acne vulgaris. In Ayurveda for the treatment of Mukhadushika mainly two types of Chikitsa are described i.e., Shodhana Chikitsa and Samana Chikitsa . According to various Acharyas, mostly the Shodhana Chikitsa includes Vamana , Nasya and Shiravedha . Sodhana therapy acts on the root sites of the disease and eliminates the vitiated doshas from the body so that there is no further Dosha Sanchaya . That’s why Sodhana is called radical treatment.
