Charka describes ‘Vicharchika’ under  Kshudrakustha with the lakshanas Kandu, Shyavapidaka and Bahusrava. Authors like Yogratnakara, Madhavkara  and Vangasena too referred the same features. According to Sushruta the lakshanas are Rajyo, Atikandu, Ruja, and  Rukshata involving the domination of Pitta. In Ayurvedic classics there is an elaborative treatment for vicharichika, 

which includes both shodhana & shamana chikitsa. In this study, comparison of efficacy of Siravyadhana and  Karnja Taila application on vicharchika is studied.
