Urticaria (hives) is an outbreak of swollen, pale red bumps on the skin caused by the body's reaction to chemicals in certain foods, insect stings, sunlight exposure, or medications.

Poor digestion causes the disease. As a result of poor digestion, ama is produced, resulting in an overload of toxin in the body and an allergic reaction.

The following hive types are as follows:

Acute urticaria: The most common type, lasting less than six weeks, is caused by specific foods, medications, or infections, insect bites, and internal disease.

Chronic urticaria: Can last for up to six weeks. Thyroid disease, hepatitis, infection, or cancer may be the cause in some cases. Chronic urticaria can affect internal organs such as the lungs, muscles, and gastrointestinal tract.

The Ayurvedic medical system can effectively treat both chronic and acute urticaria.
