Hello, Please ask the treating ayurveda doctor, if you are fit to have virechana/panchakarma. If he/she says yes it will help…please go ahead. Take care. Kind regards.

HELLO BHAWAR,

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

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS (FOR 6-8 WEEKS CONTINUE)

Urticaria, also known as hives, involves an imbalance in the body’s doshas, often triggered by certain food, stress, or environmental factors. While it’s essential to continue any medication as prescribed by your healthcare providers, there are some Ayurvedic home remedies and lifestyle modifications that may help balance your doshas - particularly Pitta and Vata - and support your body’s natural healing process.

Firstly, consider your diet. Avoid food that can aggravate Pitta such as spicy, sour, or fried foods. Instead, include more cooling foods in your diet like cucumber, coconut water and leafy greens. Drink plenty of water to maintain hydration and flush out toxins. Stay away from excessive intake of fermented foods, as they may increase Vata and aggravate symptoms.

Herbs like Neem and Haridra (Turmeric) are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Prepare a paste with turmeric powder and water, applying it to affected areas may help reduce itching and inflammation. Consuming turmeric with warm milk, a pinch of black pepper, and honey can also support immune balance.

Practice stress-relieving activities such as yoga and pranayama to manage Vata, which can be heightened by stress. Incorporating a regular meditation routine could provide additional relief by calming the mind and reducing flare-ups.

Abhyanga, a daily self-massage using oils like coconut or sesame oil, can support skin health by calming Vata dosha. Allow the oil to sit on your skin for about 15-20 minutes before showering.

While these suggestions can be helpful, persist with your current treatments as determined by your healthcare providers and consult them before embarking on any new regimen. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention to prevent severe allergic reactions.

Urticaria, often known as hives, can be persistent, and it’s understandable that juggling various treatments feels daunting. In the Siddha-Ayurvedic approach, permanent relief focuses on balancing doshas, particularly Pitta, which tends to flare up in urticarial cases. A key strategy is to cool and calm your system through diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies to address the root imbalance.

Begin by incorporating cooling foods into your diet. Favor items such as cucumbers, melons, coconut water, and leafy greens that help to pacify Pitta. Avoid known triggers like spicy, hot, fermented, and oily foods. Ensure adequate hydration with pure water and herbal teas like coriander and mint, which can soothe inflammation.

Herbal remedies can also prove beneficial. One such preparation is to consume a paste made from Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) mixed with honey, taken in the morning on an empty stomach. Sarsaparilla (Anantmool) can be consumed as a tea—it helps cleanse the blood and reduces heat.

Topically, you might try applying a paste of sandalwood mixed with a few drops of rose water to areas affected by hives. Let it stay for 15-20 minutes before washing off, which can relieve itching and redness.

Do not overlook daily routines. Practicing relaxation techniques like pranayama or meditation can help manage stress, which is a known aggravator for urticaria.

Finally, consider the Ayurvedic practice of Panchakarma under a qualified practitioner’s guidance, which might help cleanse deeper systemic imbalances contributing to your symptoms. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s important to consult with a health professional to avoid complications.
