Hello punit kumar , What you’re experiencing is called Sheetapitta in Ayurveda, which is closely related to Urticaria or hives in modern terms. It happens when Vata and Pitta doshas are aggravated, usually due to exposure to cold, incompatible foods, emotional stress, or weak digestion (Agni). The aggravated doshas disturb Rakta (blood) and Mamsa dhatu (skin tissues), resulting in itchy, red, or raised hives. Since your reports are normal, this is likely a doshic imbalance rather than an infection or allergy.
The fact that it appears daily at night or morning shows a cyclical dosha pattern—often linked to wrong digestion, sleep habits, or suppressed immunity. Don’t worry—Ayurveda has very good treatments to calm this down and also prevent its recurrence.

HELLO PUNIT,
In Ayurveda, Sheetapitta 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
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS (FOR 6-8 WEEKS CONTINUE)

Managing urticaria, or hives, requires addressing potential underlying causes and balancing the doshas. In Ayurveda, urticaria may be linked to an imbalance in the Pitta and Vata doshas, often triggered by internal or external allergens, stress, or food intolerances. Here’s a structured approach to help manage and potentially alleviate urticaria symptoms.
First, assessing your diet is crucial. Incorporate cooling foods to balance Pitta, such as cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens, which can help reduce inflammation. Avoid known allergens, spicy or overly sour foods, fermented items, and processed foods as they might aggravate the condition. Drink plenty of water; hydration is essential for your skin health and digestive system.
Herbal remedies can be beneficial. Neem, known for its cooling and anti-inflammatory properties, may help soothe the skin. Consider using neem oil topically or drinking neem tea. Turmeric is another wonderful anti-inflammatory herb; you can consume it with warm water and a dash of black pepper for better absorption.
Focus on lifestyle modifications too. Regular oil massage (abhyanga) with coconut oil can calm aggravated Vata and soothe the skin. Exercise moderation in physical activities—choose yoga or gentle stretching rather than strenuous workouts to avoid overheating the body.
Stress reduction is key; try practices like meditation, pranayama (breathing exercises), or listening to calming music to keep stress levels in check. Stress can often exacerbate urticaria, so maintaining mental peace is beneficial.
Take note of external factors—certain laundry detergents, soaps, or lotions might irritate your skin, so opt for natural alternatives. Use soft, cotton clothing to reduce irritation from fabrics.
It’s important to keep up with hydration through herbal teas, like chamomile or mint, which can have calming effects on the body. Sleep quality is equally important; aim for a regular sleep schedule to support your body’s natural healing.
If you’ve tried these remedies and the problem persists, consult with an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized treatment. They can offer specific formulations and therapies, such as panchakarma, if deemed appropriate, to detoxify the body and restore balance.
