The Ayurvedic term for Urticaria is Shita pitta. People suffering from constipation are vulnerable to this abnormal condition of the skin.
SYMPTOMS OF URTICARIA
Urticaria is, more often than not, characterised by severe itching. Urticaria is a vascular reaction of the skin.
The commonly and easily identifiable symptoms of Urticaria are red or pale elevated patches on the outer portion of the skin. These patches, naturally enough, appear redder or paler than the surrounding skin portions.
Such patches can appear all over the body.
Ancillary symptoms may be indigestion or other stomach disorders, bronchitis, cough or/and cold.
PRIMARY CAUSES OF URTICARIA
Urticaria is caused by many factors. The common ones are the following, though:
(i) Sudden exposure to changes in climate or weather;
(ii) Intestinal worms;
(iii) Abrupt changes in emotional states; and/or
(iv) Allergens. This is the typical change in body temperature if one bathes immediately after hard physical labour when the body remains high (in other words, the temperature remains quite hot).
DIETARY REGIMEN
The patient should daily consume garlic and onion.
Vegetables having a bitter taste like drumsticks and bitter gourd are beneficial for such patients.
Such people must have salt-free diet.
WHAT NOT TO EAT
Patients suffering from Urticaria must avoid taking sour food items like curd.
OTHER IMPORTANT POINTS
Intestinal worms should be eliminated. Unless and until intestinal worms are dealt with, Urticaria may recur.

The primary cause of all ailments is constipation. Besides, if you are suffering from constipation, the gestation period taken by the body to recover from any disease is abnormally long. What is more, different complications also develop if constipation is chronic.
If you do not have regular movement of your bowels, the toxic materials accumulate in the bowels and the intestines. Your mental state as well as the physical condition will be adversely affected.
Parents should inculcate in the minds of their children the habit of regular movement of bowels immediately after they get up in the morning.
EASY HOMEMADE REMEDIES
Hence, Ayurveda concentrates on the cure of constipation as the first step towards the treatment of any ailments.
Water is a natural and very ideal purgation agent. Even of you do not have constipation, drink lots of water. The best way to drink water is to opt for at least two large bottles or one litre of water after arising in the morning. This keeps all the purgation means of our body, viz., stool, urine and sweat in their optimum operational states.
