Homeopathic Remedies for Urticaria or Hives
Spotlight on Urticaria or Hives
Homeopathy offers effective treatment for both acute and chronic hives (urticaria). Remedies help alleviate symptoms like itching, pain, and swelling, while addressing the underlying cause—an overactive immune response and excess histamine. Homeopathic treatment aims to regulate the immune system and reduce histamine production naturally, providing long-term relief and reducing dependence on antihistamines. These remedies are safe, natural, and free from side effects. Treatment is personalized based on individual symptoms, triggers, and other factors. For severe cases or anaphylaxis, immediate medical attention is required.
Causes and Triggers of Urticaria or Hives:
Hives are often triggered by an allergic reaction, where histamine is released, causing swelling and raised bumps. Common triggers include foods (eggs, nuts, shellfish), medications (antibiotics, NSAIDs), alcohol, insect bites, stress, and physical factors like exercise or sun exposure. Infections, extreme temperatures, pressure on the skin, and autoimmune conditions such as thyroid disease or Celiac disease can also trigger hives.
