Best Homeopathic Medicines for Urticaria Treatment

Urticaria is one of the most common skin allergies. Urticaria is also known as hives or nettle rash in which erythematous, raised eruptions or weals happen to appear on the skin along with intense itching, stinging, and burning. Urticaria is nothing but one form of immunological or hypersensitivity reaction of the body in response to the exposure to a certain allergen, such as an insect bite, food, chemicals, certain medicines, etc. Urticaria can be acute, recurrent, or chronic. In acute forms of urticaria, angioedema can be observed. In severe cases, an anaphylactic reaction can be observed in the form of angioedema, difficulty in breathing, and sudden shock.

Conventional medicines for urticaria attempts to control it mainly with the use of anti-histaminic agents or steroids. Long-term use of antihistamines or steroids makes the patient dependent on them; for instance, in a case of chronic urticaria. The patient may develop resistance to these conventional medicines and treating such cases of urticaria becomes difficult.

Homeopathy has a significant role in the treatment of acute, recurring, and chronic forms of urticaria. Homeopathy considers urticaria as the local expression of an internal imbalance of the immune system and addresses the root cause at the level of immunity. Homeopathic medicines arouse the body’s innate healing mechanism and lead to long-term relief in urticaria. Homeopathic medicines can be taken along with symptomatic anti-allergic medication if needed. Later, the medication can be taper off under the supervision of an expert.
