Tinea corporis, commonly referred to as ringworm, is a dermatophyte infection characterized by a red, circular, and itchy rash on the skin. In Ayurveda, this condition is classified under "Kustha," which encompasses various skin disorders. This paper elucidates the Ayurvedic management of Tinea corporis, focusing on a case study that showcases holistic treatment strategies including dietary modifications, herbal remedies, and lifestyle adjustments. The case study emphasizes the importance of individualized treatment based on the patient’s constitution (Prakriti) and the nature of the disease (Vikriti).
