Hribedadi Kwatha is primarily used in managing bleeding disorders (~Rakta pitta). This review gathers evidence from texts like Charaka Samhita to highlight Hribedadi Kwatha’s potential as a safe and holistic approach to treating Raktadushti-related skin conditions. It contains a synergistic mix of herbs such as Hribera, Raktacandana, Ushira, Mustaka, and Prapataka, which together offer antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, hemoprotective, and antimicrobial effects. The pharmacological properties of each ingredient have been validated through various experimental and clinical studies, supporting skin healing and immune modulation. Skin diseases are very common today. In Ayurveda, most skin conditions fall under Kustha vyadhi. Rakta is one of the main Dushyas involved in the pathogenesis of Kustha. Raktadushti also causes skin conditions like Kandu, Kotha, Pidika, Charmadala, and Visarpa. In treating Raktadushti, Acharya Charaka mentioned that it can be managed with Raktapittahara treatments, Virechan, Upavasa, etc. Therefore, using Hriberadi Kwath may be effective for skin diseases and could help prevent recurrence, which is more common in skin conditions.
