Abstract | Abstract Sheetapitta is a Skin condition mentioned by Acharya Madhavakara. Its Signs and Symptoms closely resemble those of Urticaria. Sheetapitta is a Tridoshaja janya vikara. In Ayurvedic science, conditions such as Shitapitta, Udard, and Kotha are considered Skin disorders similar to urticaria in modern science, sharing comparable symptoms and causes. Shitapitta is primarily caused by Virudhahara Sevan (incompatible dietary habits) and Doshaprakopaaka hetu (imbalanced doshas). It involves a combination of Vata and Kapha Doshas with an aggravated Pitta Dosha, leading to symptoms like inflammation resembling Varati Damshta Samsthana Shotha, Kandu Bahula, Toda Bahula, Chardi, Jvara, and Vidaha. Urticaria is known to impact approximately 20% of individuals at some stage in their lives. In modern science there is vast treatment of urticaria and other allergic skin disorders but recurrence of disease is common in very much cases. Also prolonged use of steroids and antihistamines may lead to adverse effects. Sheetapitta is one of the Santarpana janya vyadhi, so purificatory line of treatment is having most important. Shodhana Chikitsa is important in treating Sheetapitta because it helps to eliminate aggravated Dosas. Vamana, Virechana and Raktamokshana are main purificatory methods as Sheetapitta is a Pitta pradhana tridoshaja vyadhi. Shamana Chikitsa can effectively control Shitapitta and enhance the patient’s quality of life. In Sheetapitta by following Pathyapathya, recurrence can be prevented and the disease may be cured. It is yukti of the physician which principle is best suited for particular individual as per the Doshic predominance and state of the disease. This article intends to critical analysis on various modalities of purificatory and palliative management in Sheetapitta |
