Urticaria छपाकी
About Urticaria (छपाकी)
Urticaria, commonly known as Chapaki (छपाकी), is a skin condition characterized by red, itchy, raised welts that appear suddenly on the skin. It can be triggered by allergies, stress, food, or environmental factors.
At Sukh Sagar Dawakhana, Urticaria is treated using classical Ayurvedic herbal formulations that purify the blood (Rakta Shodhan), balance the Pitta dosha, and strengthen immunity from within — providing long-term relief instead of temporary suppression of symptoms.
