Sheetpitta is a Trido?haja Vy?dhi with predominance of Pitta and V?ta Do?a, characterized by kandu, daha, toda, shotha and mandala utpatti, and can be clinically correlated with urticaria. Classical Ayurvedic texts such as Charaka Sa?hit? and A?h???ga H?daya advocate ?hodhana Chikits?, particularly Virechana Karma, for Pitta-dominant disorders involving Rakta Dh?tu. The present case study reports the therapeutic outcome of Virechana Karma in a 47-year-old female diagnosed with Sheetpitta Vy?dhi. The patient was managed with Deepana-Pachana, followed by Snehp?na using Guduchi Siddha Ghrita, Sarv??ga Abhyanga with Dashmool Taila, and Swedana as Purva karma. Virechana Karma was performed using Triv?ut Leha, followed by Sa?sarjana Krama and appropriate dietary regulation. Significant improvement was observed in itching, erythematous wheals, burning sensation, and frequency of recurrence, with sustained relief during follow-up and no adverse effects. This case highlights the effectiveness of classical Virechana Karma in the management of Sheetpitta by addressing the underlying Do?hic pathology rather than providing only symptomatic relief.
