ABSTRACT

A 42 year old male subject, hailing from Arsikere taluk of Hassan district, Karnataka presents with a two and a half month history of periodic swelling over his face, neck and chest region. The lesions were well defined, localised, erythematous, elevated wheals associated with itching and burning sensation. Blanching was present and there were no associated bruising. He was clinically diagnosed as an acute case of sheetapitta (Urticaria). As shodhana chikitsa is more effective, he was treated by giving shodhananga snehapana and shodhita madanaphala Vamana yoga in which vitiated doshas are expelled through mouth. He vomited 7 times a total content of 8200ml against 7500ml of input. At the end of vamana, pitta was vomited. After an hour of vamanakarma the subject felt remarkable relief from itching, burning sensation and gradual reduction of erythema. Keywords: Vamana, sheetapitta, urticaria , shodhita madanaphala , blanching
