Hives, or Urticaria, is a hypersensitivity skin disorder characterized by raised, itchy, red or white wheals that appear suddenly and may shift location within hours. It is caused by histamine release from mast cells, leading to vasodilation, edema, and inflammation of the dermis.
Triggers include allergic reactions (to food, drugs, insect bites), infections, stress, cold, heat, pressure, or idiopathic factors. Acute urticaria lasts less than six weeks, while chronic cases persist longer and often have autoimmune or idiopathic origins.
Symptoms may include intense itching, burning, and swelling that worsens at night or after scratching. In severe cases, angioedema may occur, causing swelling of lips, eyelids, or throat, which can be life-threatening.

Homoeopathy treats urticaria by addressing the underlying hypersensitivity and immune imbalance, aiming to reduce itching, burning, and recurrence. Remedies are chosen based on cause, appearance of eruptions, modalities (better/worse from cold, heat, pressure, etc.), and associated systemic symptoms.
Homoeopathy not only relieves acute attacks but also modulates the immune response, reducing the tendency for repeated outbreaks and improving overall skin and systemic health.

Hives (Urticaria) represent a hypersensitive immune response often triggered by allergens, stress, or environmental changes. Homoeopathic treatment provides effective, individualized relief by addressing both acute outbreaks and chronic tendencies, balancing the immune and endocrine systems. Remedies such as Apis Mellifica, Urtica Urens, Dulcamara, Sulphur, Nux Vomica, and Arsenicum Album are frequently indicated.
Homoeopathy offers a gentle and lasting cure, helping to control itching, reduce recurrence, and restore skin health without suppressing symptoms or causing dependency.
