Abstract

Virechana Karma is one of the Shodhan Kriya described in Ayurveda. It is indicated when Pitta Dosha is vitiated in the body. Shitapitta or Koth is a disease condition which occurs on skin as swelling and itching. According to Modern science we can compare it with urticaria (hives) in which red, raised, itchy patches and skin rash are seen that are triggered by allergens. Ayurveda says that Virechana Karma gives relief in these symptoms without any complications. Therefore this line of treatment is selected in this patient.
