Abstract

Indralupta is a disease characterized by loss of hair and inhibition of its regrowth.  The Alopecia areata is manifested as loss of hair in small round patches. The  aggravated vata and pitta cause hair fall and later aggravated kapha and vitiated rakta accounts for its poor regrowth. Pracchanna and lepana are included among  various treatment modalities advised for Indralupta. In the present study,  Asthisrinkala lepa and Triphala mashi lepa were prepared. A total of 52 patients  included were randomly divided into Group A and Group B with 26 patients in  each. After doing Pracchanna at the affected area, Group A was treated with  application of Asthisrinkala lepa and Group B with Triphala mashi. The results  were assessed separately and then comparisons were made between both the  treatments. A highly significant (p<0.001) reduction in size of lesion was noted  after Pracchanna with Asthisrinkala lepa. Pracchanna with Triphala mashi Lepa also came up with a highly significant reduction in size of lesion after treatment  with p value < 0.001. Thus, both procedures were having good and lasting results,  but comparing both the groups, Asthisrinkala lepa is more effective clinically than  Triphala mashi lepa in Indralupta.
