Seeking A Natural Cure For Hives? These Remedies Could Help

The best cure for hives is prevention.

Lifestyle changes and natural remedies can help you to become less likely to develop these itchy, swollen lesions. Avoidance of the offending agent is the best cure for hives.

Emergency Treatment of Hives and Anaphylaxis

Hives may be accompanied by wheezing and generalized itching. The nasal passages may be stuffy or the nose may run. Eyes may be itchy, puffy, and red. In severe cases, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea may be present. Anxiety, agitation or weakness may occur.

While hives are usually uncomfortable, some allergic responses of hives can be deadly. The most serious allergic reaction is called anaphylaxis. An anaphylactic reaction can cause death in minutes. Signs of anaphylaxis include: difficulty breathing, rapid pulse, lightheadedness, dizziness, loss of consciousness, and swelling inside the airway.

If hives are present on the face or neck or if the person complains of any difficulty breathing, seek professional help immediately. Also get help if the person is a child, elderly, or has other health problems.

Anaphylaxis requires immediate treatment with epinephrine injections. Do not use natural remedies if hives are accompanied by these symptoms. Call 911 immediately!

Natural Remedies for Hives

While you should not use natural remedies to treat a severe allergic reaction, they are an essential component of a holistic treatment plan for hives. In addition to getting rid of swollen itchy lesions, natural remedies enhance the health of the entire body, reducing hypersensitivity to allergens which cause hives to develop. Natural remedies work best when taken over an extended period of time so that underlying imbalances may be corrected.

If you suffer from hives, purchase high quality supplements for maximum effectiveness. Better supplements are less likely to contain fillers and binders which may aggravate your sensitive immune system. Food based and organic supplements are best.

CoEnzyme Q10 helps your cells be more resistant to irritation due to allergens. I recommend taking thirty milligrams taken twice daily

Quercetin reduces histamine production. Histamines are released when you come into contact with the substance that you are allergic to. Hives and other allergic symptoms result. Take four hundred milligrams three times daily before meals.

Take acidophilus regularly to reduce the allergic reaction. It enhances the health of your digestive tract. Many of the components of the immune system reside in the digestive tract. Having a healthy digestive tract results in less allergic reactions, including hives.

Flax, borage, hemp, fish, black currant, and evening primrose oils reduce inflammation. Follow instructions on the product label for use.
