How to cure urticaria problem,skin rashes on body - #26200

HELLO YOGESH,

In Ayurveda, Urticaria is compared with Sheetapitta which is a condition caused by the vitiation of -vata(air and movement) -kapha(water and mucus) - pitta (fire and metabolism)

When exposed to cold air, allergens, wrong food combinations, indigestion , or seasonal transitions, these doshas become imbalanced and lead to hypersensitivity reactions like hives. -The itching and redness come from aggravated pitta -the wheals/swelling arise due to Kapha - vata carries these toxins(ama) through the blood and skin

This is why Ayurveda focuses not only on symptomatic relief but also on removing toxins, balancing doshas, and strengthening immunity

Urticaria (hives) is a skin condition characterised by red, itchy welts that often appear suddenly and resolve within hours , but in your case, since it’s lasted more than 6 weeks , it is chronic urticaria

Since your blood test are normal and there are no chronic illness, it’s likely idiopathic(no known cause), though triggers like stress, food, allergens , or temperature changes might still be playing a role

TREATMENT GOALS -balance tridosha -removes toxins -enhances immunity(Ojas) -soothe the skin - prevent triggers -achieve complete remission of hives

Urticaria, commonly known as hives, is a condition characterized by itchy, red rashes on the skin. From an Ayurvedic perspective, it is often linked with an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which can lead to increased heat and inflammation in the body. Treatment involves calming the aggravated Pitta, and enhancing the body’s natural defenses while soothing the skin.

First, dietary modifications are crucial. Focus on cooling foods such as cucumbers, watermelons and coconut water which can balance the excess Pitta. Avoid spicy, sour, and salty foods, as well as processed foods, caffeine, and alcohol, since they can add heat to your system. Drinking plenty of water and herbal teas like chamomile or peppermint can also be beneficial.

Next, implementing specific herbal treatments may help. Neem, known for its detoxifying properties, can be consumed as a decoction or applied in the form of a paste to reduce inflammation and clear the skin. Turmeric, with its anti-inflammatory properties, aids skin health. You could try a teaspoon of turmeric powder mixed with warm milk daily. Apply aloe vera gel topically, which is soothing and nourishing for the skin.

Incorporate stress-reducing practices like yoga, meditation, or deep-breathing exercises, as stress may exacerbate skin conditions. Aim for daily relaxation, if possible, whether through structured activities or a simple daily walk.

Consulting a qualified practitioner is a wise choice, particularly if condition persists, as they can provide tailored advice based on your specific constitution and symptoms. Monitoring the skin’s response to different treatments carefully, and focusing on a calm and nourished inner environment will contribute greatly to healing urticaria.

Urticaria, with its associated itching and rashes, is often linked to imbalances in the dosha, particularly the Pitta dosha, which regulates heat and metabolism. It’s important to focus on cooling and calming this fiery energy to alleviate symptoms. Begin by examining your diet: Consuming Pitta-pacifying foods like cucumbers, cilantro, and cooling teas such as mint or chamomile can be beneficial. Avoid spicy, hot, and oily foods as they tend to aggravate Pitta.

Incorporate a routine that soothes your skin and enhances your agni, or digestive fire. Try applying a paste made from sandalwood powder and rose water on the affected areas; its cooling effects can reduce rash and itchiness. Neem leaves, known for their anti-inflammatory properties, can be used to make a paste or added to your bathwater for relief as well.

Addressing stress and emotions is also vital, as they can flare up Pitta. Practice calming activities, such as meditation or yoga, that aid in balancing the body’s energies. Increasing your water intake and herbal infusions will help to flush out toxins and promote clear skin.

Though these natural methods can provide relief, if you notice the urticaria worsening or not improving over time, consult with an integrative healthcare provider or an Ayurvedic practitioner. Severe conditions or cases where breathing becomes difficult require immediate conventional medical intervention to ensure safety. It’s crucial to identify any allergens or triggers in your environment, with the help of a professional, that might be causing these skin issues.
