Author's Note: I’ve had more than one person ask me this question, so I thought it best to answer it here in case there are more people who are confused. It's important in this chapter. The reason Urahara insisted that Orihime not heal Hitsugaya is the same reason that Unohana wouldn’t be able to help. Reiatsu, no matter whose it is, inflames Hitsugaya’s symptoms. In other words, if Orihime tried to heal him, he’d get worse before he got better because he’d be surrounded by a strong, penetrating reiatsu source. That’s also the reason Hitsugaya didn’t tell Ichigo about it. Ichigo has a large amount of reiatsu that he can’t or doesn’t hold back and therefore is a large part of the reason Hitsugaya’s two months was cut short.
