Hello Afsha, In Ayurveda, chronic hives, itching, and angioedema are often seen as imbalances of "Pitta" and "Vata" doshas, sometimes aggravated by "Ama" (toxins) in the body. To manage this condition, try Ayurvedic remedies like Khadirarishta (an herbal decoction known for skin purification) and Arogyavardhini Vati (a herbal tablet that detoxifies the liver and blood). Manjishtha (Rubia cordifolia) and Neem capsules are also recommended for blood purification. Additionally, taking Gandhak Rasayana can reduce skin inflammation. Apply Kumkumadi Tailam (an Ayurvedic oil) externally to soothe itching. To balance Pitta, follow a Pitta-pacifying diet, avoiding spicy, sour, and fermented foods. Practice deep breathing exercises to reduce stress, which can aggravate skin conditions. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor these treatments, especially regarding dosages and compatibility with your specific constitution.

Namaste. Chronic urticaria, with symptoms like severe itching, hives, and angioedema, can be deeply distressing, and Ayurveda sees such issues as primarily related to imbalances in the pitta and vata doshas. Often, these imbalances cause heat, inflammation, and dryness in the skin, which can trigger itching and hives. In Ayurveda, treatment focuses on cooling and soothing the system while removing toxins (ama) that may aggravate the skin.
To address chronic urticaria, consider Ayurvedic herbs such as Neem (Azadirachta indica), Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), and Khadira (Acacia catechu), which are known for their cooling, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying properties. Neem is especially beneficial for skin health, as it purifies the blood and reduces itching. Guduchi helps balance immunity and supports skin health, while Khadira is traditionally used to clear skin conditions. These herbs can be taken in tablet or powder form, but it’s important to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for the correct dosage and formulation.
Applying cooling oils such as Coconut or Kumkumadi taila (an Ayurvedic herbal oil) externally may help soothe itching. Additionally, bathing with a decoction of Neem leaves or adding a few drops of Chandan (sandalwood) essential oil to your bath can further reduce skin inflammation and itching.
Diet plays a crucial role in managing urticaria. Favor a pitta-pacifying diet, avoiding hot, spicy, sour, and fermented foods, as these can trigger skin inflammation. Instead, focus on cooling, naturally sweet, and bitter foods like leafy greens, cucumber, bitter gourd, and pomegranate. Drinking coriander and fennel-infused water may also support pitta balance and relieve skin irritation.
Stress management is vital since chronic stress can exacerbate skin issues. Gentle yoga and deep breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) can help calm the nervous system and reduce stress-related flare-ups. Regularity and consistency in these practices, alongside Ayurvedic treatment, will bring the best results.

Oh no, dealing with urticaria and angioedema can be such a bummer... especially when nothing seems to work long-term. In Ayurveda, we believe this condition can often be linked to imbalances in the doshas, particularly Pitta, as it can manifest as skin inflammation and intense itching. Let's dive into some personalized suggestions to help you find relief.
Firstly, diet is a crucial part in managing Pitta. Try to avoid spicy, oily, and sour foods as much as possible, as these can aggravate Pitta. Instead, focus on cooling, soothing foods like cucumber, melons, coriander, and coconut water. Freshly cooked meals are always best. Incorporate turmeric in your diet for its anti-inflammatory properties, but keep it balanced, too much can tip the scale the other way.
Stay hydrated! Drink plenty of room-temperature water throughout the day. Avoid cold or iced drinks, they can disturb the digestion.
Consistency with "rachana snehana" (external oil massage) can be helpful. Use coconut or neem oil—gently apply it daily before your bath or shower. Helps with reducing skin irritation and itchiness.
Consider incorporating herbs like manjistha and neem. They purify and cleanse the blood. You can take these in tablet form or as decoctions, but always consult with a practitioner before starting something new.
Avoid stress, which isn't always easy, I get it. Try breathing exercises like pranayama or meditation to calm both mind and body. Agitated mind can fuel Pitta.
Lastly, keep a regular sleep schedule. Sleep is a great healer. It brings balance to the system. And don't forget mild-to-moderate, regular exercise like walking or yoga, but avoid excessive heat during your workouts.
If symptoms persist or worsen, don't hesitate to reach out to a professional for further evaluation. It may take some time, but with consistent effort, improvements can certainly happen!
