Can chronic urticaria affect a woman’s fertility?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern. In cases of urticaria (a condition that causes itchy, red, raised skin welts), it is important to follow a diet rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients. Foods such as amla (Indian gooseberry), moringa leaves, beetroot, spinach, soaked fenugreek seeds, fennel and cumin water, pathimugam water (herbal infused water used in Ayurveda), mint tea, and blue pea flower tea contain high levels of antioxidants. I advise you to check your vitamin D and vitamin B12 levels.

Haritaki is heating and drying in nature, and in sensitive individuals, or when taken without proper guidance, it can aggravate Pitta and Rakta, leading to skin eruptions and inflammation.
