| contents | <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Khadira (Acacia catechu) is a wel-known medicinal plant in Ayurveda, extensively indicated in twak vikara(skin diseases), particularly in the classical texts of the brihatrayi- charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita and ashtanga Hridaya. This integrative review aims to compile and analyze the traditional references and correlate them with contemporary pharmacological findings to understand its therapeutic potential in dermatological skin diseases. In ayurveda literature, Khadira is described with tikta and Kashaya rasa, possessing properties such as kushtaghna, kandughna, vishaghna, and ropana, making it highly effective in managing various skin diseases. These actions are primarily attributed to its ability to balance kapha pitta dosha, reduce kleda and promote tissue healing.Modern studies support these classical claims by demonstrating khadira’s significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and wound healing activities, largely due to the presence of flavonoids, tannins, and catechins. These pharmacological actions help mitigate oxidative stress, suppress inflammatory mediators, inhibit microbial growth and enhance tissue repair. The integrative analysis highlights that Khadira acts through both systemic and local mechanisms, addressing the root pathology of skin disorders. Thus, Khadira emerges as a promising Ekamoolika therapy in twak vikara</span></p> |
