Ayurvedic therapies and practices have been integrated in universal wellness. Changes in lifestyle with development are very drastic. Diseased environment, junk food habits, work in shift duties, anxiety etc. are the main causative factors for vitiation of Tridosha and the demonstration of diseases in today’s era. There is dearth of information about Dincharya and Ritucharya in common people. Due to which people mainly get aggravated doshas related to their gastrointestinal system first, and then other symptoms come subsequently. According to Ayurveda Sheetpitta is described as Tridoshaj Vyadhi (Disease), but Vata and Pitta Dosha are predominant and Ras and Rakta are main Dushya. Sheetapitta is one among the Twak Vikara(skin disorders) that have related Hetu of Kotha and Udarda. Vata and Kapha are two “Doshas”, which are primarily bothered which in turn is associated through Pitta resulting in Tridosha Prakopa causing to redness, swelling itching on the skin etc. Chief symptoms of Sheetpitta are reddish spots, inflammation on skin with moderate to severe itching at site. It is compared with urticaria in modern science and termed as primary cutaneous disorder. An episode of it may start with pruritis. Episodes of urticaria may continue to revert for days, weeks, months or year if not cured properly. Urticaria is calculated as allergic reaction due to certain food and have only symptomatic treatment and anti-allergic drug. Commonly antihistaminic medicines were used for urticaria.
