Abstract In Ayurveda, Sheetapitta is mentioned as Tvak Vikar in laghutryaee mainly in Madhav nidana firstly, but in Bruhattrayee mention of Udarda was found.In Ayurveda, this vyadhihad such triggers which are interpreted through the concept of Satmya–Asatmya, particularly due to exposure to asatmya Ahara–vihara and contact with vishadravya[1]. Sheetapitta, described as a tvak vikara, presents with Kandu, Shotha, Raga, Toda and Daha[2], resembling the clinical features of urticaria. It is a Tridoshaja disorder with Pitta pradhanya and Vata–Kapha anubandha, involving mainly rasa and rakta dushyas. Among the various etiological factors, Sheeta- Maruta samsparshat (exposure to cold along with wind) is recognized as an important nidana, leading to Vata–Kapha prakopa and secondary Pitta involvement, resulting in the manifestation of Sheetapitta. Urticaria, a common allergic skin disorder, is classified in modern medicine which can be correlative and falls under allergic, non-allergic, physical, stress-related and systemic disease–associated triggers. While modern management relies mainly on antihistamines and corticosteroids for symptomatic relief, Ayurveda emphasizes nidana parivarjana as the cornerstone of treatment. Identification and elimination of causative factors such as chronic exposure to cold and wind are essential for apunarbhava chikitsa (prevention of recurrence). This approach provides a more etiologically oriented and sustainable management strategy for urticaria.
