Urticaria

Urticaria is one of the most irritating skin complaints which manifests itself in the form of itchy bumps and red patches that can appear anywhere on the surface of the skin. Apart from the embarrassing appearance of urticaria it is extremely uncomfortable, particularly the excessive itchiness.

Hives or urticaria can occur in anyone of any age and is usually associated with environmental factors that can affect lifestyle and diet. Although there are many known treatments currently used for treating hives, there are now more and more natural urticaria remedies also available.

Unlike acute urticaria, which a small dose of antihistamine can fix within a matter of hours, a chronic case of urticaria or hives is a little more complex as far as treatment goes. A general antihistamine will offer only short term effective relief for chronic idiopathic sufferers. Therefore it may be of interest to learn about some of the natural methods that are known be actually work and relieve some of the discomfort that comes with urticaria.

Natural Urticaria remedies consist of mainly herbal concoctions that offer a lot of relief and comfort for the sufferer. Natural treatments are considerably less expensive and often a lot more effective. Such natural products can help build up the immune system so that the body can cope and fend of urticaria more effectively and keep it at bay for a lot longer.

Such natural urticaria remedies consist of aloe vera, which is a great anti bacterial agent, vitamin E oil, nettle which is very effective for treating inflammation of the skin, cayenne pepper, green tea and turmeric. All these natural herbs help reduce the itchiness and sooth the skin. They are known to speed up the healing process and dramatically improve the appearance of the skin.

With more and more people searching for natural solutions to a range of health complaints, there is now a huge market for natural treatments. Urticaria is no longer such a dreaded skin condition that it used to be, given that there are many effective herbal remedies available to aid a speedy as well as effective treatment.

Taking a high dose of Vitamin D is said to be highly effective against an outbreak of hives. Vitamin D is the nutrient that the skin absorbs through sun light. Using cold packs or ice packs to help reduce the swelling of those itchy bumps that appear of the skin, can really help causing reduce the discomfort. The itchiness causes endless scratching and is worse when hot, so using a cold pack straight from the fridge will have rapid relief benefits.

Lotions such as calamine can produce some relief when applied to the red patches and bumps on the skin. It is thought the smaller the bump then the more effective this lotion is. Calamine can help limit the intense level of itchiness and prevent the patient from persistent scratching, which often leads to open wounds and further pain and frustration.

Herbs such as Cats Claw and green tea can dramatically reduce swelling, green te as well as many other types of tea are natural antioxidants which can help fight against allergies. Aloe vera is another natural remedy for urticaria, the gel is soothing and helps calm the skin. Vitamin E oil is also very effective when applied to the affected area of the skin.
