MANAGEMENT OF PRESSURE URTICARIA (SH?TPITTA) THROUGH VIRECANA : A CASE REPORT

ABSTRACT

Introduction: A 32 years old female patient consulted for the following complaints- frequent episodes of papular, pinkish red rashes on whole body on applying pressure or scratching, associated with marked itching and burning sensation since one and a half month. She was clinically diagnosed as acute case of Sh?tpitta that can be correlated with urticaria (pressure urticaria due to pressure). Material and Methods: Ayurvedic ?odhana (Virecana) and ?amana treatment were used to successfully manage this condition. The goal of this case study is to illustrate how ?odhana (bio-purification treatments) and ?amana (palliative) therapy might be beneficial in the treatment of allergic disorders such as urticaria. Result and Conclusion: After receiving Virecana and oral medication, the patient's symptoms considerably improved. Although contemporary medicine offers a variety of treatment options for urticaria and other allergic skin conditions, recurrence is typical even after medication. This case study shown that Ayurvedic management (Virecana as ?odhana therapy and ?amana ?usadha) may be useful in the treatment of skin issues.
