Skin is the largest seat of beauty care as it is largely visible through the healthy skin. Unfortunately the chemical based skin beauty care products are associated with lots of undesirable harmful effects. This is one of the reason for which the world is looking at Ayurveda for better, safer, natural skin beauty care products. This concept of treating skin disease or beauty care through herbs has been mentioned in our classical texts by using compound formulation as well as single dravya use at various instances like in mahakashaya, kusthachikitsa etc. CharakaSamhita is the most authoritative text of Ayurveda and deals extensively with skin care. Using ekaldravyain proper form with efficient anupaan helps in curing many skin ailments. There are many references of ekaldravya in CharakSamhita being in use in present days for curing skin diseases and nourishing it. Also they have been indicated particularly with their specific action and according to the prakriti. These ekaldravya may be used in the form of local application or as an intervention through various kalpanas, using different part of same plant in various diseases. Using ekaladravya for the management has some inherent advantages like easy to source and process, cost effective, drug-drug interaction free, etc.
