He also presented with a new complaint of Urticaria developed since two months. However, he was completely cured of alopecia on the scalp and chin. He was quite worried about the urticarial rash which would come daily with severe itching. He had already started taking anti allergic medicines along with a steroid (Omnacortil 20 mg). The patient was advised to taper the steroid medicines and was intimated about the flare up which he may get after stopping the steroids medication.

Conclusion

Homeopathy is a well-known stream of medicines for allergies. Urticaria is a type of an autoimmune allergic reaction in the body which responds very well with homeopathy. However, one needs to be consistent and regular in taking medicines. In this case, urticaria was recently detected and the patient readily informed us which helped us immediately treat him and control the further progress of the disease. Moreover, if he would have continued taking the steroids, it would have complicated the disease more and treatment time would have increased. Alopecia is another autoimmune disease which was also timely detected and treated with homeopathy. Hence, timely detection with prompt homeopathic treatment helped the patient get rid of taking allopathic medicines with parallel improvement in his immunity.
