I Hate Hives

64

By pattyann

If you've experienced urticaria, aka hives, you know how annoying they can be. If you've never experience a bad cause of hives, let me tell you, it'll drive you crazy. It isn't just your typical itch, but more like a deep burning itch. Scratching only makes it worse. It'll itch more and soon the little welt or welts will swell up, turning red.  Food allergies are common causes of hives, but so are insect bites, stress and anxiety.

The body releases a chemical known as histamines that causes these welts and deep itching. By taking antihistamines, such as Benadryl, the welts and deep itching will soon disappear. Only drawback to Benadryl, is it will make you drowsy. There are other brands of antihistamines that work well.

I still get occasional hives, but now I use homeopathic products to relieve my symptoms.

I was recently doing some research about various way to relieve hives and wanted to share an article I came across.Hope you enjoy the article.
