Abstract
Background: Shitapitta is a common allergic skin disorder comparable to urticaria, characterized by recurrent itching, wheals, and a burning sensation.[1][2] The condition often affects the quality of life due to its recurrent nature. While modern treatment mainly focuses on symptomatic relief, Ayurveda aims to manage the disease by correcting the underlying Dosha imbalance and preventing recurrence. This case study highlights the role of Ayurvedic management in the treatment of Shitapitta.
Aim: To evaluate the clinical outcome of Ayurvedic management in a case of Shitapitta w.s.r. to Urticaria
Materials and Methods: A 56-year-old female patient presented with Multiple raised reddish skin eruptions (wheals) with mild pricking pain over bilateral upper and lower limbs.Severe itching (Kandu) associated with skin lesions.Recurrent appearance and disappearance of lesions. Burning sensation (Daha) over affected areas and Occasional swelling of skin lesions for one year. Symptoms aggravated on exposure to spicy, oily food and cold environment. The patient was managed with Shamana Chikitsa Kaishor Guggulu, Gandhak Rasyana, Kamdudha Rasa, Krumikuthar Rasa, and a combination of churna and kwatha for raktaprasadana with nitya virechana by panchasakar churna. Clinical symptoms were assessed before and after treatment.
Results: The patient showed significant relief from all the clinical symptoms with the help of shaman chikitsa and nitya mrudu virechana.
Conclusion: The present case indicates that Ayurvedic management by shaman chikitsa may provide significant symptomatic relief, and in severe cases proper virechana shodhan chikitsa will be beneficial as in this case nitya mrudu virechana has given good result in very few days.
