CLINICAL EFFICACY OF VIRECHANA KARMA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF URTICARIA W.R.T SHEETAPITTA
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda & Alternative Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Urticaria is a type I hypersensitivity reaction which is manifested because of exposure to such allergens. Epidemiology of Urticaria is increasing now days due to Industrialization and Agriculture. Vata and Kapha are two “Doshas”, which are primarily disturbed in this disease. In the combination with Pitta they create redness, swelling and itching on the skin. Acute urticaria is associated with more diffuse swelling of lips, face and throat and is spread all over the body. Udarda-Sheetapitta-Kotha has almost similar symptomatology and causative factors as Urticaria. Asatmya, Virudhahara and Dushivisha are common etiological factors for these diseases. Management primarily aimed at patient’s education, avoidance of known triggers and pharmacotherapy i.e. antihistamines, glucocorticoids. The modern medicine provides temporary symptomatic relief and patient have to take medicines for long time, which may be having some unwanted side effects. The study was undertaken to evaluate efficacy of Virechana Karma in the management of Urticaria. Patients enrolled in this study were treated by Snehapana as a Purvakarma with Panchatikta Ghrita followed by Virechana Karma with Tab. A. K. Pills and Eranda Sneha with cow milk. The Subjective Parameters like Varati Damshta Samsthana Shotha (Inflammation like an insect bite) Kandu Bahula (Sever itching) Toda Bahula (Excessive pain like pricking), Chhardi (Vomiting), Vidaha (Burning Sensation) like were used to score clinical outcome. The improvement was calculated by proper statistical treatment. Our experience with this modality has been encouraging as the response pattern is good in considerably short duration of treatment.
