Abstract

The condition of Vyanga can have significant repercussions, as facial disfigurement not only impacts an individual's psychological and social well- being but also hampers their overall contribution to society. This can result in reduced productivity, impaired social functioning, and diminished self-esteem. In classical Ayurvedic texts, Vyanga is categorized under Kshudrarogas, representing minor disorders with straightforward causes and symptoms. However, in certain instances, these conditions can lead to noticeable cosmetic impairments, causing considerable psychological distress. Vyanga presents as a distressing affliction that undermines an individual's potential, necessitating definitive treatment as a recognized disease. Addressing Vyanga is crucial to alleviate the associated psychological burden and enable affected individuals to lead fulfilling lives with restored confidence and social integration. Consequently, effective interventions aimed at managing Vyanga not only enhance the individual's quality of life but also contribute to the well-being of society as a whole. Therefore, prioritizing the recognition and treatment of Vyanga as a medically significant condition is imperative to address its multifaceted impacts comprehensively.
