Urticaria(also called hives) are a red, raised, itchy skin rashes that may be triggered due to an allergic reaction. Due to the allergic reaction, the body releases a protein called histamine.

According to Ayurveda, aggravation of Kapha  and Vata  occurs when people come in contact with cold air. It also causes the aggravation of pitta dosha  which spread into the rakta dhatu (blood tissues). Rakta dhatu is vitiated due to excess of pitta.
