Summary of article contents:
Scleroderma is an Autoimmune connective tissue disorder in which there is overproduction of collagen, and it is characterized by fibrosis of visceral organs, skin, and blood vessels... Its estimated prevalence is fewer than 1 million cases per year in India. It is more common in women than in men and the age group of 20 to 50 yrs 1. By looking at its characteristics, it can nearly be compared with Vatarakta in Ayurveda Classics. Vatarakta is a vitiation of both Vata and Rakta . Though Scleroderma is said to have no specific treatment according to modern science, by following the protocol of VataraktaChikitsa as mentioned in various Ayurvedic classics, it can be boldly managed. Shodhana, Shamana, Bahirparimarjana Chikitsa , and Pathyapathya in Autoimmune pathologies are highly effective with a significant decrease in the symptoms. Keywords: Scleroderma, Vatarakta, Autoimmune pathologies, Bahirparimarjana Chikitsa INTRODUCTION The term Scleroderma denotes Sclerosisa kind of tethering or hardening of the skin
