Sheetapitta is characterised by itchy red rashes on one or more parts of the body. Sheetapitta is not a life-threatening disorder, but it can have an impact on an individual‟s quality of life and way of life. However, there is no modern medication that can completely cure the disease, and some have common side effects.It is also possible for the disease to reoccur. Yogratnakar mentioned shodhana chikitsa for sheetapitta, which includes Vaman and raktamokshana. Sheetapitta requires the removal of all morbid doshas from the body, which is performed by vaman and followed by Raktamokshana.
