Urticaria is one kind of dermatological condition that is likewise known as hives. Individual lesions commonly remain for a few minutes to a few hours after which depart without leaving any trace. There are two types of urticaria, acute and continual.
Urticaria present for less than 6 weeks is considered to be acute, and chronic if it keeps for more than 6 weeks. They are most typically induced due to an allergic reaction. In Ayurveda condition known as Sheetapitta is described, which exhibits similar symptoms to Urticaria.
Sheeta pitta is derived from the words: “sheeta”, meaning cold, and “pitta”, referring to warmth. This condition arises when the cold qualities of the Vata and Kapha doshas dominate over the pitta dosha.
Common causative factors described in Ayurveda are excessive consumption of salty and pungent food, exposure to cold wind or cold substances, altered features in winter and rainy seasons etc. Due to the above factors, the doshas become aggravated and spread over the body, lodging on the skin surface and leading to reddish rashes accompanied by intense itching and a pricking sensation.
Ayurvedic management in Sheeta Pitta is based on Ayurvedic Shaman(palliative) and Shodhana (purificative) Chikitsa. The ayurvedic approach to managing Sheeta pitta makes a speciality of balancing the aggravated doshas through both shaman and shodhana treatment.
