Ayurvedic Management of Sheetapitta (~URTICARIA) - A Case Report

Dr. Rahulkumar Pande, Dr. Harish Kumar Singhal


Abstract: Sheetapitta is made up of the terms Sheeta and Pitta, which are diametrically opposed and denote the dominance of Sheeta over Pitta Dosha as a result of Vata and Kapha Dosha. Urticaria, characterized by transient wheals, presents with pruritus, erythema, and dermal edema, often triggered by environmental factors and allergens. It affects up to 25% of individuals during their lifetime. Ayurveda correlates this condition with Sheetapitta, characterized by analogous symptoms exacerbated by Vata and Kapha Dosha. A case report involving a 16-year-old female patient with chronic urticaria revealed widespread urticarial lesions and pruritus aggravated by dietary factors such as curd and spices. Treatment included Brihat Haridra Khanda, Sheetapitta Bhanjan Rasa, Arogyavardhini Vati, and Urtiplex capsules internally, complemented by Urtiplex lotion externally. Significant improvement was observed, with reduced inflammation and itching following a 28-day treatment regimen and a 14-day follow-up. Ayurvedic formulations targeted the underlying imbalance of Dosha and dermatological pathology, demonstrating therapeutic efficacy without any adverse effects. This case report underscores the effectiveness of Ayurvedic treatment in managing chronic urticaria.
