Abstract

Background: Urticaria is a red, itchy rash caused by vasodilation, increased  blood flow, and increased vascular permeability. The function of infection as a  potential trigger for urticaria is unknown, as is the precise mechanism by which  infection induces histamine release from mast cells. In Ayurveda this condition  has a close resemblance to sheetapitta. Due to the exposure to cold the vitiated  kapha and vata dosha gets aggravated combines with pitta dosha. They circulate  throughout the shrotas and vitiate the rakthadi dhatus and produces mandalopatti  on the surface of skin.  Main observations: A 39-year-old female patient, presented with complaints of  raised reddish circular lesions all over the body for 5 years associated with  itching, also complaints of orbital swelling the diagnosis was done as sheetapitta.  Result: The efficacy of Ayurvedic treatment for Urticaria is demonstrated in this  case study.  Conclusions: The study concluded that ayurvedic medication was significantly  effective in treating urticaria.
