A dry powder of black catechu 3 gms twice daily was administered to the selected patients. PASI (Psoriasis Area Severity Index) was applied in before and after treatment to assess the treatment effect. The measurement was done based on three major clinical criteria, i.e., erythema, induration, and desquamation. Obtained effects in terms of numerical measurement of PASI were evaluated statistically.
