Urticaria is a dermatological condition characterized by itchy wheals that suddenly appear on any skin region or mucous membranes. Individual lesions usually last a few minutes to a few hours and then go away without leaving any trace. It can be linked to Shitapitta(Urticaria) based on clinical characteristics. Medical scientists have developed treatment methods, but still, there are a lot of side effects, and the probability of recurrence is also high in this disease condition. Hence, it is necessary to find out an effective treatment for Shitapitta. This study aims to assess the efficacy of Ayurvedic management in Shitapittabased on Ayurvedic Shaman (palliative) and Shodhana (purificative) Chikitsa. This may be due to the elimination of aggravated Doshas due to Shodhana with Shaman Chikitsabeing effective in managing Shitapitta. This patient used Sadyo-Vaman (medicine-induced emesis) and NityaVirechan (medicine induced purgation) for adequate control. Reliable in theThis study shows that Shaman and ShodhanaChikitsa are cost-effective and Shitapittacondition; hence, they can be used in clinical practice.
