A 32-Year-Old Gentleman Experienced Excellent Recovery From Urticaria With Homeopathy At Life Force
A 32-year-old male patient, Mr. M. M. K. (PIN: 41042) was suffering from urticaria and acidity for 1 year. He came to Life Force on 29th August 2019. He was suffering from its episodes 7-8 times a month, and they used to last for 3-4 hours to 1 day. The intensity of the episodes was mild to moderate. He used to develop the eruptions of urticaria on the scalp, face, forehead, under the eyes, and on the back and swelling over the lips and around the eyes. It was associated with acidity, as chest pain used to start with urticaria.
He had one severe episode of angioedema 1 year ago. He suffered from severe itching. The summer heat, oily food, outside food, and allopathic medicines were the triggering factors of his urticarial discomforts. He used to take two types of antihistamines daily for 7 months, however, he had stopped taking them for 3-4 months. He had taken it again on the last night before coming to Life Force. He was taking antacids once a month.
The patient was following a mixed diet. His appetite was average, and he had craving for sweets, chicken, and spicy things. He had an aversion to sour things. His thirst and perspiration were average. He was a hot patient. His sleep was disturbed for a few months. He used to sleep at 10 pm and wake up at 1 am, after which he couldn’t sleep for 2-3 hours. He was a Senior Manager in analytics in a non-banking financial firm.
In his family, his parents did not suffer from any major illness. But, his father had suffered from urticaria.
Dr. Rajesh Shah studied his case in detail and prescribed his research-based medicines to the patient. The patient got very good relief in his relief in symptoms.
Follow-Ups:
In October 2019, when he gave his first follow-up, the patient said that his complaints of urticaria had aggravated, and his acidity was as it is. He had urticaria daily in the last month. He had to start taking both types of antihistamines daily in the last month and antacids 2-3 times a month. His IgE level was high at 307.5 in September 2019 which was 220.0 in October 2018.
In November 2019, the patient said that his frequency of urticaria was as it is i.e. daily but the intensity was mildly reduced. His relief in acidity was better this time. He was taking the antihistamine daily at night.
In January 2020, the patient said that he was slightly better. He had urticaria 5-10 times a month lasting for 3-4 hours. Its intensity had reduced. So, the patient had stopped taking all conventional medicines and antihistamines since November 2019. His relief in acidity was also better.
In March 2020, he was 50% better. He had 6-7 episodes of urticaria in a month lasting for 6-8 hours. But, the itching had reduced. He did not take any antihistamines.
In April 2020, the patient said that he had 10 episodes in a month lasting for 6-7 hours.
In June 2020, he said that there was no episode of urticaria in the last 2 months. No rashes, no itching, and no swelling on lips, face, and around the eyes had occurred.
In October 2020, the patient said that he had experienced no episode of urticaria in the last 5-6 months, and he was 100 % better.
Conclusion:
This case illustrates that homeopathy is highly effective in treating urticaria successfully and safely without any side effects. It helps to reduce the frequency, duration, and severity of episodes of urticaria. Also, it minimizes and eliminates the dependency on antihistamines.
