Urticaria, also known as hives, weals, welts, or nettle rash, is a rash that occurs on the skin and is inflamed and irritating. It might occur on a small portion of the body or cover a large area. The rash is often very irritating and can range in size from a few millimeters to a hand's length.
“Sheetapitta” is the Ayurvedic term for Urticaria. Sheetapitta is derived from two words – ‘Seetha’ which means ‘cold’ and ‘pitta’ which means ‘hot’. Thus, it is caused due to over control of ‘cold’ over ‘hot’. When people come in contact with cold air, there is aggravation of Kapha (water) and Vata (air)in the body. Along with them, Pitta Dosha (fire) also gets aggravated and spreads into Rakta Dhatu (blood tissues). This spread of Pitta dosha in Rakta Dhatu vitiates blood, which then relocates in the skin and causes urticaria (Sheetapitta).
The treatment of urticaria/hives follows multiple detoxification of the body to remove ama, abhyanga, sevadana, vamana, virechana, relaxation of mind and consumption of herbs and diet that helps to cure urticaria. This line of treatment has proven to be effective in reversing this condition within a period of weeks.

“The ayurvedic approach of disease looks for the root cause and not merely the symptoms. The basic principles of Ayurveda consider an individual human a specific identity and hence his treatment giving importance to the treatment of the patient rather than the treatment of the disease.”
“Since Ayurveda focuses on the root-cause of the disease, it effectively reduces the risk of severe health complications arising out of the untreated underlying cause. Patients who complete their Ayurveda treatment have a reduced risk of health complications later.”
"Heal your body naturally with 5000-year-old knowledge of Ayurveda and Modern Science. From its authenticity, structured approach and personalisation play a very important role in complementing the effect of medicines as well as sustaining the benefit of treatment after the medicines have ended."
At Elite Ayurveda, we try to eliminate the disease from its root cause by using the wisdom of traditional medicine. The treatment for Urticaria (hives) follows the steps mentioned below:
Insect bites, drugs, infections, some internal diseases, or eating foods like almonds, chocolates, seafood, tomatoes, eggs, berries, or milk can all trigger Acute Urticaria symptoms, which persist shorter than six weeks. Acute Urticaria can be caused by medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or some pain relievers. They commonly affect the cheeks, toes, fingers, neck, and even the genitals of men.
Urticaria will persist for longer than six weeks if it is chronic. Chronic Urticaria has a difficult, if not impossible, to diagnose cause. Chronic Urticaria causes can, however, be connected to the immune system or disorders like thyroid, hepatitis, or even cancer in some situations. Chronic hives may be painful and unsightly, and they can also interfere with a person's sleep and day-to-day activities.
The hives develop due to physical reasons like mosquito bite, cold, increase in body temperature, sun exposure, or due to rubbing on skin frequently.
Our Treatment is a unique customised program. Here are some of the most common questions
patients ask about the program.
Most of the time, a doctor can diagnose hives just by looking at the skin. To find the cause, you may be asked questions about your medical history , recent illnesses, medicines, exposure to allergens, and daily stressors. But Ayurveda also has its own set of diagnosis methods too..
Anaphylactic shock and bad attacks of hives or angioedema are rare. But when they happen, they need immediate medical care.
Kids with bad allergies should carry an injectable shot of epinephrine.
Patients with emergency are advised to visit an ER at a hospital nearest to you.
Stress can be a factor in hives, but it’s usually not an independent risk factor.
Stress usually isn’t the direct cause, and primarily affects only individuals who are susceptible to hives. Both chronic and acute hives can be made worse by stress, especially in people more likely to get hives, such as women and people with autoimmune disorders.
Urticaria, also known as hives, weals, welts, or nettle rash, is a rash that occurs on the skin and is inflamed and irritating. It might occur on a small portion of the body or cover a large area. The rash is often very irritating and can range in size from a few millimeters to a hand's length.
Urticaria is caused when a trigger induces a surge in histamine and other chemical messengers in the skin. These compounds cause the blood vessels in the afflicted region of skin to dilate and leak, resulting in redness or pinkness.
The acute form of hives last for 24-48 hours, and in some cases may last for several weeks. This form of hives appear suddenly and also fade away on their own.
Food stuffs like seafood, meat, dairy, vegetables like tomatoes, spinach, avocado, fruits, alcohol, fermented foods, etc. tend to trigger the condition of hives.
Chronic urticaria (CU) is a distressing allergic skin disease. Although it is usually harmless, it can occasionally be a warning indication of a serious inside ailment. Physical, infectious, vasculitic, psychological, and idiopathic etiologies have all been implicated as the cause of CU.
“Sheetapitta” is the Ayurvedic term for Urticaria. Sheetapitta is derived from two words – ‘Seetha’ which means ‘cold’ and ‘pitta’ which means ‘hot’. Thus, it is caused due to over control of ‘cold’ over ‘hot’.
The treatment of urticarial/hives follows multiple detoxification of the body to remove ama, abhyanga, sevadana, vamana, virechana, relaxation of mind and consumption of herbs and diet that helps to cure urticaria.
Medications like Haridrakhandam, Arogyavardhini, patolakaturohinyadi kashayam, and many more medications are used in urticaria conditions.
Herbs like haridra, nimaba, amrita, Katuki, Nishotha, triphala are very helpful in the condition of urticaria.
Yoga asanas like Bhastrika pranayama, surya namaskar dand baithak, jal neti, mayurasana, sutra neti, etc. are proven to be very helpful in the condition of urticaria.
