This has invited increased incidence of diseases like Amlapitta (hyperacidity), Prameha (Diabetes mellitus), Hridroga (Heart disease), Medoroga (Obesity) etc. In the context of Medoroga, Madhukosha mentions Sneha (oil or fat) as the factor from which Meda (fat) is formed. All the Dhatu nourishes mainly by Sneha. So excess intake of fat leads to excess deposition of lipid in the body. Two groups were registered to compare the effectiveness of Guduchyadi Yoga and Medohar Guggulu in the above disease. In group A, out of 25 patients,14 patients (56%) were treated effectively, 04 patients (16%) had moderate improvement, 02 (08%) had mild improvement, while 05 (20%) showed insignificant result. In group B, out of 25 patients 09 patients (36%) were treated effectively, 02 (08%) patients had moderate improvement, 01 (04%) patient had mild relief while 13 patients (52%) showed insignificant result. Although satisfactory result obtained on various parameters with Medohar Guggulu but Guduchyadi Yoga is highly effective remedy for Medoroga as compared to Medohar Guggulu.

Now a day’s due to this lifestyle of a modern man, im-mune system of a person declines and leads to evolution of various diseases out of which allergic skin dis-eases are common. Dushivisha is a peculiar poison which vitiates Dhatus. In its relation with Rakta Dhatu some of the skin problems caused by Dushivisha which are described in Samhitas are Kustha, Visarpa, Bhinna Varna, Shonitdusti, Shitapitta, Udarda, Kotha. These symptoms are similar as that of hypersensi-tivity reactions. Udarda-Sheetapitta-Kotha has almost similar symptomatology and causative factors as Ur-ticaria. Asatmya, Virudhahara and Dushivisha are common etiological factors for these diseases which can be correlated with allergic conditions. So, various types of allergic skin diseases can be taken under Dushi-visha Janya Twak Vikar (Shitapitta-Udarda-Kotha). Urticaria affects 20% of people at some or the other time in their life. So, on looking at the increased incidence rate of allergic skin diseases, it’s a need to find some conservative source which would be helpful in management of skin diseases from the root by cleans-ing vitiated Dhosha and balancing whole body. Ksharagad mentioned in Charak Samhita is one of those formulations helpful to prevent such diseases by its actions like Kusthgna, Krimghna, Shothhar, Kandugh-na, Twachya, Tridoshahar properties, increasing immunity and suppressing allergic activity.
