Five Homeopathic Medicines for Urticaria

My opinion is that these five potent homeopathic remedies are the best for urticaria:

1. Apis Mellifica

This drug is a product of bees’ honey and is more specific to swelling and burning when insects sting. I usually need to give it when patients develop urticaria due to wasps or reactions to the foods.

2. Urtica Urens

This natural remedy is prepared from the whole plant of the nettle and is mostly used for people who have high distress levels because excessive itching or alternatively burning sensations are the two major. I have proved that this is especially valid for hives caused by allergic reactions to foods or drugs.

3. Rhus Toxicodendron

This is a medicine made from poison ivy and it helps when hives get worse upon coldness and get better with heat, and exercise. I usually suggest its use when a person has a reaction like hives due to hard physical work or is over-cold.

4. Pulsatilla

Pulsatilla is produced from the windflower and is a core remedy for hives that keep changing their position. I have noticed this medication be very efficient for urticaria caused by hormonal changes or rich food consumption.

5. Sulphur

This cure is particularly used for the cases of chronic urticaria where there is intense itching which gets aggravated in hot weather. Most frequently, it is fed to people who have a background of skin ailments.
