Urticaria, commonly called hives, is an acute or chronic skin condition characterized by sudden, raised, red or pale wheals on the skin, often accompanied by intense itching or burning. Wheals may vary in size and shape and can appear anywhere on the body, often changing location rapidly. Triggers include allergic reactions (food, drugs, insect bites), infections, stress, temperature changes, or autoimmune factors. Chronic urticaria persists for more than six weeks and may be associated with angioedema (swelling of lips, eyelids, or throat), which can be life-threatening in severe cases.

Homeopathy treats urticaria by addressing the underlying hypersensitivity, constitutional tendencies, and specific triggers. Remedies are selected based on the type, location, appearance, and sensations of wheals, as well as accompanying systemic and emotional symptoms. Acute attacks are managed with fast-acting remedies for rapid relief of itching and swelling, while chronic cases may require constitutional treatment to prevent recurrences and stabilize immune response.

Natural Homoeopathic remedies to get rid of Urticaria

Intense Itching with Red Raised Wheals – Apis Mellifica

Wheals are bright red, swollen, and accompanied by burning or stinging. Itching worsens at night or from warmth, while cool applications relieve discomfort. Patients may feel restless, anxious, or irritable. Swelling may involve eyelids, lips, or face in severe cases.

Wheals appear suddenly with intense burning, restlessness, and anxiety. Symptoms are aggravated at night and from cold, and relieved by warmth. Patients may also experience nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea if ingestion of a trigger occurred.

Urticarial eruptions are intensely itchy, with redness and swelling. Scratching temporarily relieves itching but may aggravate the rash afterward. Symptoms worsen from cold, damp weather, or rest, and improve with movement and warmth.

Wheals are red or pale, sometimes merging into large patches. Intense burning and stinging sensations dominate, aggravated by touch, heat, or food triggers. Symptoms are often accompanied by digestive upset, bloating, or nausea.
