Udarda In Ayurveda - #3847

Anonymous

I’ve been dealing with this recurring skin problem where I get itchy red welts all over my body, especially after eating certain foods or being exposed to heat. A dermatologist told me it’s a type of urticaria, but someone recently mentioned that it’s called Udarda in Ayurveda. I wanted to learn more about Udarda in Ayurveda and how it’s treated. Does Udarda in Ayurveda focus on the root cause, like allergies or dosha imbalance? I’ve read that Pitta imbalance can lead to skin issues, but I’m not sure if this applies to Udarda. What herbs or treatments are typically used for Udarda in Ayurveda? Another thing I’m curious about is whether Panchakarma therapy can help with Udarda. I’ve heard it’s good for detoxifying the body, but is it effective for skin conditions like this? Lastly, are there dietary restrictions I should follow for treating Udarda in Ayurveda? My condition seems to get worse when I eat spicy or sour foods, so I’m guessing Ayurveda would advise against them. If anyone has experience with Udarda or knows how to manage it using Ayurvedic methods, I’d love to hear your tips.

Udarda in Ayurveda is similar to urticaria and is often linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs heat and transformation in the body. This imbalance can lead to skin reactions like red welts, especially when triggered by certain foods or heat. Ayurvedic treatment for Udarda focuses on cooling and calming the body to balance Pitta. Common herbs include Guduchi, Neem, Turmeric, and Manjistha, which have anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties. Panchakarma therapy (especially Virechana or Swedana) can be helpful for detoxification and addressing underlying causes of skin issues by eliminating toxins from the body. For diet, it's important to avoid spicy, sour, and fried foods, as they can aggravate Pitta. Cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and dairy can help soothe the skin. It's also recommended to drink plenty of water and avoid foods that trigger flare-ups. Managing Udarda effectively requires balancing herbal remedies, dietary adjustments, and possibly Panchakarma to reduce symptoms over time.
