Urticaria, or chronic hives, can be frustrating and persistent. Ayurveda views it as a result of imbalances in Pitta and Kapha doshas, often aggravated by toxins (ama) in the body. While antihistamines like cetirizine provide temporary relief, Ayurveda focuses on addressing the root cause and preventing recurrence.

Ayurvedic Remedies:
Herbs:
Neem: Acts as a natural blood purifier. Take neem capsules or drink neem water (boil neem leaves).
Turmeric: Anti-inflammatory and detoxifying. Mix 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder with warm water or milk.
Guduchi (Giloy): Strengthens immunity. Take as a juice or tablet (500 mg twice daily).
Topical Applications:
Apply sandalwood paste or coconut oil with camphor to soothe itching.
Diet:
Avoid spicy, oily, and processed foods.
Include cooling foods like cucumber, watermelon, and buttermilk.
Lifestyle:
Stay hydrated and reduce stress with yoga or meditation.
Detoxify regularly with Panchakarma (consult an Ayurvedic practitioner).
Consistency with these measures can provide lasting relief. Seek guidance for personalized care.

Oh man, urticaria can be such a pain, I totally get how frustrating the itch can be when it just doesn’t go away. First off, let's think about this from an Ayurvedic perspective. Urticaria is often related to imbalances in pitta dosha, causing that hot, inflamed feeling. Sometimes vata's involved too, bringing dryness and itchiness into the picture. So, balancing these doshas is usually where we start.

Diet is super important here – try to avoid really spicy, sour or salty foods; they can aggravate pitta. Maybe lean towards cooling foods like cucumbers, coconut water, and leafy greens. Small things make a big difference, yeah? And hydrate! Good water helps keep that pitta calm, so aim for at least 8-10 glasses a day.

Herbs can be your buddies too. Neem and tulsi (holy basil) have anti-inflammatory properties. You can take neem in capsule form or make a decently bitter tea (though I warn you, it’s not the tastiest). Tulsi tea might be a tad nicer. Apply a paste of turmeric and a bit of water on affected skin – turmeric’s pretty renowned for its anti-inflammatory magic. 

You could also try Abhyanga – it’s basically self-oil massage. Use coconut oil, as it’s cooling. Do it gently, and let the oil sit for about 30 minutes before showering. 

Sleep, weird as it sounds, is a healer in its own right. Get enough rest, and it helps your body repair. Maybe some soothing activities like gentle yoga or breathing exercises to maintain that crucial balance.

Do remember though, always better to check with an Ayurvedic practitioner directly. Sometimes there are deeper imbalances, and they can offer specific treatments that fit your prakriti (biological constitution). And if things still feel severe, checking in with a healthcare provider is the safest bet. They can look for any underlying issues that might need more immediate attention.
