What causes hives allergy, and how can it be treated naturally without medication? - #16879
For the last few weeks, I’ve been breaking out in red, itchy welts on my skin, especially after eating certain foods or even when I get stressed. My doctor said I’m experiencing a hives allergy, but I’m not entirely sure what that means. What causes hives allergy, and is it a sign of something more serious happening in the body? I’ve read that hives allergy is often triggered by an immune system response to certain allergens, but I’m still unsure how to identify what’s causing my flare-ups. Is it the food I eat, or is it something in the environment, like pollen or pet dander? I’ve also heard that stress can trigger hives allergy, and I know I’ve been under a lot of pressure lately. Could my anxiety be contributing to this issue? I’m not keen on taking antihistamines or other medications for hives allergy, as I want to find a more natural way to treat it. I’ve heard that herbs like neem, turmeric, and chamomile might help reduce inflammation and calm allergic reactions. How effective are these herbs for treating hives allergy, and should I use them topically or internally? I’ve also read that diet can play a big role in skin reactions. Are there certain foods I should avoid that could be making my hives allergy worse, and are there any foods that help improve skin health? I’ve tried eliminating dairy and gluten to see if that makes a difference, but I’m still not sure. If anyone here has successfully managed hives allergy naturally, I’d love to hear your experiences. What worked best for you—herbal remedies, dietary changes, or something else? How long did it take to see results, and did you find relief without relying on medication?
