Can Drinking Water Help Hives? - #59783
I am dealing with these annoying hives for the past week, and it's driving me crazy! At first, I thought it was just a allergic reaction to something, but now I'm not so sure. They come and go, but the itching is non-stop! I read somewhere that hives treatment might be able to help, but what does that even mean in Ayurvedic terms? Like, how long do hives last usually? It feels like an eternity for me. Also, I keep wondering why am I getting hives all of a sudden? It’s really frustrating! I have tried drinking more water, thinking maybe that would help — does it really work with hives treatment or is it just one of those things people say? Also, what’s the fastest way to cure hives? I don’t want to keep dealing with this; it's affecting my sleep and even my work! Should I be changing my diet or is there a specific herbal remedy that could work faster? I just want to stop this itching and figure out what’s triggering these hives. Any advice would be super helpful!
