===Diagnosis through Integrative Medicine===
===Diagnosis through Integrative Medicine===
In integrative medicine, a disease is diagnosed by contemporary medical science parameters and its comparable condition in alternative medicine. For example, in Psoriasis, annular, erythematous, xerosis lesions with an uneven surface are diagnosed as guttae psoriasis. The relative terms as explained in Ayurvedic classics in the context of Kushtha are listed in table 1. It shows that guttae psoriasis resembles mandala kushtha.
