Urticaria Homeopathy Treatment and Its Medicine Details

What Is Urticaria?

Urticaria, which is popularly called hives, is a common skin rash that results due to several factors, such as stress, consumption of certain foods, certain medications, and various infections. It causes big, red, itchy rashes or skin-coloured welts that affect your skin, causing discomfort. Usually, urticaria goes away on its own; however, following effective urticaria treatment is highly beneficial in alleviating its symptoms and providing you great relief from the condition. Some people also experience recurrence of the condition or complaints of hives lasting for greater than six weeks. So, you need to treat it effectively.

The treatment for chronic urticaria requires to be addressed at the very root of the disease. Urticaria being an immunological disorder, the treatment must target the correction of the immune system in such a way that the hypersensitivity behind urticaria is taken care of and the body does not react the way it does with the disease of urticaria.

Anti-histamines offer symptomatic relief from urticaria. However, they work superficially, without addressing or correcting the underlying immunity problem. So the effect of an antihistamine stays for a short period of eight to ten hours, and you need it almost daily. Similarly, cortisone, when used for urticaria, works instantly but it is habit-forming and it has its own challenge in terms of adverse effects and, more importantly, dependency. Chronic urticaria dependent on the use of cortisone is more difficult to treat over a period of time.

Homeopathy offers research-proven and effective treatment for Chronic and Recurrent Urticaria. Patients with chronic urticaria are almost always put to the mercy of lifelong use of antihistamine medicines or cortisone by regular doctors. Once started, it becomes almost impossible to stop it even for a couple of days. You need urticaria treatment, which is more than just antihistamines. That is homeopathy.

The Homeopathy Treatment

The homoeopathic treatment for Chronic Urticaria is promising. It is much more advanced and more scientific, as it is not aimed at relieving the symptoms but to treat the disease at the immunological level. The urticaria treatment plans with homeopathy are designed in such a way to act towards correcting the immune system, in turn treating Urticaria from within.

The total length of urticaria treatment varies from case to case, depending on the following factors:

• Duration of urticaria
• Allergic or non-allergic nature
• The extent of spread  (Mild, moderate, or severe). Cases with frequent attacks of Angioedema are more difficult to treat.
• Current and past medicines (Antihistamines or cortisone)
• General health and associated diseases

One may expect a definite change in about one to three months in chronic cases. Acute cases generally show results in hours. The total length of medication for Chronic Urticaria may be anything between four to eight months or longer.

The major benefits of homeopathy could be summarized as under:

• It offers excellent treatment, which has a success rate of over 80 to 85%.
• It offers immuno-correction, hence giving deep-level healing.
• Urticaria treatment with homeopathy offers a long-lasting cure instead of temporary relief.
• It is absolutely harmless, safe, and non-toxic.

As established earlier, urticaria is nothing but an external expression of internal, immunological disturbance. It also implies that the urticaria treatment should also be based on inner-level consideration. It just cannot be asymptomatic eradication of the urticaria rash. The homoeopathic treatment is precisely based on a similar philosophy.

The homeopathy system does not believe in treating urticaria superficially merely with some anti-histamines or steroids.

The Homeopathic Approach: As a rule, homeopathy never looks at urticaria as a local disease. Urticaria has been considered a local expression of a systemic disturbance. As per classical homeopathy, we believe in constitutional prescribing. This calls for an individual case study in every case of urticaria.

So, add lettuce, whole grains, like oats, barley, wheat, nuts, like hazelnuts, almonds, cabbage, spinach, and other foods containing vitamin B.

3. Add Vitamin E Rich Foods To Diet

Vitamin E is highly effective in increasing your immunity to combat viruses and bacteria that make you suffer from urticaria. Also, it helps boost the circulation of blood to your skin, making various crucial nutrients, such as vitamins, oxygen, and minerals, available to your skin. So, make sure you eat vitamin E-rich foods, such as kelp, pumpkin seeds, fresh spinach, and kale, when suffering from urticaria.

4. Avoid Foods Inducing Urticaria

While following urticaria treatment, you need to avoid eating foods that release or contain histamine and cause urticaria. So, make sure you avoid eating seafood, shellfish, tomatoes, chocolates, corn, egg whites, alcohol, fermented food, and other foods releasing histamine.
