URTICARIA is the medical term for hives, which are red, itchy welts that can appear on the skin, sometimes accompanied by swelling. Hives can be caused by an allergic reaction, but some hives can appear without any known reason. Hives usually disappear in about a day, but some hives can remain for weeks and require analysis by a doctor.
The discomfort caused by Urticaria and its unpredictable occurrence can interfere with patient’s sleep, daily activities, and work or school performance. In many cases the cause is not known which is also frustrating for the patient. But proper systematic treatment approach can provide significant relief to the patient.
The name urticaria comes from the Latin word and it signifies ‘nettle’. The word ‘Urtica’ is derived from the word ‘uro’, which means ‘to burn’
The eruptions or hives are red and raised above the skin with intense itching, local warmth, and sometimes, cause burning of the affected part.
Urticaria is nothing but an expression of internal immunological disturbance. The hives or eruptions appear on the skin due to the inner war or hypersensitivity reaction of the immune system. While treating Urticaria, it should not be just symptomatic relief from rash, itching, swelling or pain. It should be corrected internally by correcting the immunological disturbance at the deep level.
This can be done with homoeopathic treatment which is based on a similar principle. Homoeopathic treatment not only relieves you of the symptoms but also treats urticaria at the root level by correcting the disturbance in the immune system. While treating Urticaria with homoeopathy, the hypersensitivity, which is responsible for the disease, is taken care of so that, later, the body does not react to an allergen the way it does in urticaria.
Knowing the different types of hives is helpful for treatment. The type you have can indicate how long they will last and how they are treated.
Acute
Acute urticaria is the term for hives that appear suddenly and last no longer than six weeks.
Chronic
Chronic urticaria lasts for longer than six weeks and can appear suddenly or because of a known allergy. They can be very uncomfortable and interfere with sleep and daytime activities. Chronic urticaria should be tested by a doctor, as it could be due to an autoimmune disease or an allergy.
